[Odin:] "Brothers, my eyes saw them settle across the river Down to the east lives a race comparable to us And they worked mighty miracles, it seemed like magic I felt the might and the power of their spirit." [Chorus:] A tribe of sorcerers - The Vanir being their name How can it be, we haven't noticed them - What a shame I have seen what they are able to do - Casting magic spells They might be a dangerous menace for us - They shall not dwell [Odin:] "Æsir, I know that the strangers seem to be peaceful But to us they might become an enemy We have to be very careful in times to come So we have to observe the Vanir" [Chorus]
