[Verse 1]
D F D A# A
Long is one night, and long the second one;
D F D A# A G
How can I.... how can I wait through three?
D F D A# A
Once a month.... a month seemed less to me
D F D A# A G
Compared to this one night of waiting for her....
[Verse 2]
D
As dear to no man in days past
G#
Was maid as she is to me:
D
But no elf, no god, will grant my prayer
G#
That I may lie with her....
[Chorus]
D G#
Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!

D G#
Arise, Skirnir, now ride swiftly to Frey, my son,
D
And ask him this:
With whom is the Wise one so angry,
G#
So sad at hearth?
[Chorus]

Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!

(spoken)
D
To stake life on the luck of the dice
G#
Is better than to be a coward:
D
The day of my death is by fate,
G#
My time is fixed.
D
Night has fallen:
G#
Now we must ride over the misty mountains,
D
The fells of the troll-folk;
We shall both arrive or both fall
G#
....into the hands of Gymir.
[Chorus]
D G#
Hail to thee, Veraldur!!!
