The story of Baldur (Baldr/ᛒᚨᛚᛞᚱ):
Baldur, the beloved Norse god of light, beauty, and joy, is the son of Odin and Frigg. His story is marked by tragedy: he begins having dreams of his own death, prompting his mother, Frigg, to seek oaths from all things to never harm him. However, she overlooks mistletoe, which Loki exploits. Loki tricks Baldur's blind brother, Höðr, into throwing a mistletoe dart at Baldur, fatally wounding him. Baldur's death leads to devastating consequences for the gods, as it signals the beginning of Ragnarök, the end of the world. His death also highlights the themes of fate and inevitability in Norse mythology.

Lyrics:
I was the light, the golden sun,
A god of joy, loved by everyone.
No harm could touch me, no pain could find,
For I was pure, body and mind.
But the shadows crept from places near,
Whispers in the dark, I could not hear.
A brother’s hand, a deadly plot,
The end of me, a fateful shot.
I was the light, but now I fade,
A fleeting dream, a promise laid.
In the silence, I now lie,
Baldur’s light has said goodbye.
I never saw it, never knew,
The world I loved would break in two.
My mother’s tears, my father’s grief,
The world I knew turned to disbelief.
The mistletoe, so small, so sly,
Took my life, but did not die.
Now I rest, while the world weeps,
The shining light that no longer keeps.
I was the light, but now I fade,
A fleeting dream, a promise laid.
In the silence, I now lie,
Baldur’s light has said goodbye.
But in your hearts, I’ll always stay,
A memory that won’t decay.
Though my light has left this place,
My love will never be erased.
I was the light, but now I sleep,
The god of light in shadows deep.
In death, I find a different dawn,
For love lives on when I am gone.
