Haunting Hel

A Scourge in Chains
Her Haunting Name

Falls Silent Across the Land

For Hel is She

Justice will Flee

As the Dead Lay in Her Hand

She Brought War
Against the Gods

Where the Soul of Balder Lie

With Sword, Spear, and

Pentagram Near

She Still Refused to Die

Strong Willed Courage
Destruction’s Age

Land of Helheim Found Below

Hel Leaves to Fate

Criminal Hate

So Self Discipline May Grow

Steel in Her Eyes
Nettles in Hair

Shifting into Wolf, Horse, and Bear

Meditation

Spiritual Lair

Is Trapped Inside the Serpent’s Snare

So,
When Seeking Stability In Life,

Avoiding Harm and Mental Strife,

Let Not Hel’s Fury Haunt the Night.
