Lyrics:

In brushwood tall and grass grown high
Vidar waits with watchful eye
Silent god with mighty frame
Born to end the wolf's dark game

Gridr bore him to the All-Father's line
Half-giant strength and power divine
While other gods speak loud and proud
Vidar keeps his silent vow

Vidar waits, the silent god
Vidar treads where others trod
No words need speak the righteous heart
Patient vengeance, perfect art

Vali struck with youthful rage
One day old upon the stage
But Vidar waits through endless years
Silent through his father's tears

Brother acts in heated blood
Vidar waits through time's dark flood
One seeks justice swift and bright
One prepares for final fight

Thor boasts loud of hammer's might
Loki schemes through day and night
Odin speaks his raven's lore
Vidar speaks not anymore

Every scrap from mortal heel
Leather tough as finest steel
Human hands unknowing give
Tools by which the gods shall live

Every thread and every piece
Builds the weapon of release
Silent strength in thick-soled shoe
Fenrir's doom comes creeping through

Raganrok brings wolf's dark maw
Odin falls to Fenrir's jaw
Vidar watches, heart like stone
Father dies, he stands alone

Years of silence find their voice
Vidar makes his fateful choice
Step on jaw and tear apart
Wolf-slayer's vengeful art

Thick shoe holds the monster's bite
Hands that tear with god-like might
Fenrir falls, the deed is done
Father's death by death is won

Who speaks not but acts with power?
Vidar in his destined hour.
Who waits through time for perfect strike?
Vidar, silent and alike.
Whose revenge shakes earth and sky?
Vidar when the wolves shall die.
Who survives when all else falls?
Vidar in the sacred hall.

When the flames of Surtr fade
Vidar walks where gods once played
Silent still in world reborn
Vengeance through the endless morn

In the new world, green and fair
Vidar keeps his vigil there
Silent god with deed complete
Making cosmic justice meet
