Hymn to Vidarr

by Seawalker

Vidar1Hail to the Silent God

Who sees much and speaks little,

Who waits patiently for the moment

Of injustice that needs to be equalized.

Hail to the God called upon

When cruelty has gone so far

That there is no making things right,

Hail to the God of cold vengeance

Who does what is necessary

To even up the debt,

To bring Fate’s balance true

Quicker than entropy would allow.

Hail to the God of the Thick-Soled Shoe

Whose steps are silent

So that he might approach from behind.

Hail to you, son of Grid the Wise

And Odin the Powerful,

May I know to call upon you

Only as a last resort.
