Bullion on the Border（版本 2）

Intro

(Iron gates slamming shut behind the trade)

Verse 1 — Mithril trader

I am the man who brings gold from the south to your north wall

Every coin stamped with a hammer not yet tamed at all.

Your jarl has made an offer: one contract, one shipload of steel

The iron for his spearhead costs more than I ever could sell

Verse 2 — Jarl

I have three brothers waiting for that metal to be born

Chorus

Bullion on the border, blood in every bar

Verse 3 — Mithril trader

Then I brought what you needed: the best mithril he ever felt

Verse 4 — Brokkr (narrator, same voice as before)

Not for Thor, not by fire — a contract bought and sealed

Chorus

Bullion on the border, blood in every bar

Bridge

Mjölnir's hammer swung on borrowed steel

Loki lost his head but kept his deal.

I keep my coin though my brother's dead — that was not the trade — the price instead

Outro

(The contract is signed. The border gates shut tight again)
