Glepnir is the name of the chain forged by the dwarves with six impossible ingredients to trap the fierce wolf Fenrir. The gods, worried by the ever-growing size and strength of the wolf, had challenged to try and break several chains he was bound with. He easily broke even the most resistant chains, until he was shown Gleipnir, which looked like a silken ribbon. Guessing a deceive, Fenrir refused to be chained with Gleipnir, until someone had placed their arm in his mouth as a guarantee. None of the gods dared accepting, until Týr stepped forward and placed his hand into the wolf’s mouth, well aware that, as soon as Fenrir would realise he had been tricked, he’s have teared off the god’s arm.
I know a transcription in runes of such a text doesn’t really have any reason to be, if not as a treat, but yeah…that’s just what it is, bear with me.
Any suggestion and/or observation is warmly welcome.
The lyrics are pronounced as modern Icelandic, instead of using Old Norse pronunciation: e.g. they sing “á” with its Icelandic pronunciation [au], instead of a simple [a:].

If anyone was curious, the song is about Gleipnir, the chain created by the dwarves that was strong enough to hold down Fenrir, a child of Loki. The chant of "cat noises, cliff roots and woman's beards, etc" are the ingredients used to make the chain. Tyr was the one who fed Fenrir delicious foods from his sword.

I had a crazy idea a while ago where I thought that it would be a really cool twist if the rope is actually just an illusion. After all, it’s made of impossible things that don’t exist. Plus illusions in norse mythology can be really convincing (Thor tried to lift Jörmungandr thinking it was a cat, and somehow managed to get into a wrestling fight with old age itself thinking it was an old woman) so why not? The rope would be impossible to break because it doesn’t even exist. I think that the moment that Fenrir realized the truth, it would no longer work. Of course I don’t actually think that’s what the story is supposed to be like but it would be cool. In a lot of versions the crafting materials don’t exist because they were all used up to craft it which contradicts my idea.

Don't disqualify it, it's definitely a good thought, especially considering the theme of the rope is subtle, invisible, silence...if it was a mind chain that would make a lot of sense.

I love how one of their gods is missing a hand. That’s so cool! Especially how he gave it up willingly. It annoys me that he isn’t the one to finally kill Fenrir at Ragnarok. If I wrote the story I would’ve given that to him as some sort of closure instead of having him die getting his other hand bit off by Garm, Helheim’s watchdog. Týr really seems to have problems with dogs biting off his hands. It reminds me of Gobber from how to train your dragon, when he told that story about how dragons keep biting off his limbs because they think he’s tasty. Edit: I’m writing this 2 years later. I recently learned that Tyr is specifically missing his right hand. That’s even cooler because it means whenever he fights now he has to just use his left hand, like in the Princess Bride! That’s so badass for a god of warriors!

I dont think Fenrir deserves to be killed the gods were treating him Bad and betrayed him thats why Tyr let him bite off his hand.

@@Vilmacka My thoughts exactly! The Asgardians let fear rule their hearts and they betrayed a potentially powerful ally, thus pushing him into becoming the very thing they feared all along like a self fulfilling prophecy. Tragically setting themselves up for Ragnarok unwittingly. Fenrir's only crime was giving in to his resentment but who dafuq can blame him?! :c

J'adore l'atmosphère de la musique ! Je me demandais juste «Tyr» correspond à Thor ou c'est une autre divinité ? (je ne m'y connais pas en mythologie nordique)

Why does it say “of” at the start of those sentences? Is that how norse grammar works or is it another example of Skáld taking some liberties? Edit: I was being stupid and didn’t think that “of” meant “made of”. I knew that those were the ingredients of the rope, I just sort of forgot what the word “of” meant. Derp.

The English "of" derivated directly from Old Norse "af"

@@maitresupreme676 I guessed that. I was just wondering why the word of was in the sentence at all. Oh! I’m stupid. It is made _of_ those things. For some reason I forgot that the word “of” could mean “made out of”. It’s funny that both of the replies to my comment said things I already knew because my question was so dumb that everyone assumed that I was confused about more reasonable things to be confused about than not knowing what “of” means.
