Odin learned of a prophecy that a giant wolf Would be responsible for destruction of the world The Gods though they had nothing to worry But when they saw one day how he had grown Fear and despair surrounding everywhere Saying the wolf was weak, Fenrir accepted a challenge Let the gods chain him to prove his power of choice He was so immensely strong that he managed to break the strongest fetters As if they were nothing Fear and despair surrounding everywhere The only alternative left was a magic chain The Gods ordered the dwarves to make something strong enough to hold the wolf Gleipnir was created for this purpose, to tie the giant wolf Fenrir agreed to be tied Thinking that his strength would be doubted Suspecting treachery he ordered the gods one of them to put a hand between his jaws Tyr agreed to do it, and the gods chained the wolf Fenrir, the giant wolf Son of Loki, the feared God His howl downs the hills His open jaws nights the day Fenrir struggled but he could not escape Then in revenge, he bit off Tyr's hand The sacrifice however saved them all The peace was settled again but not for too long Fear and despair surrounding everywhere Fenrir was chained to a rock a mile down into the earth With a sword between his jaws to prevent him from biting On the day of Ragnarok Fenrir will break his chains and join the giants in their battle against the gods He will seek out Odin and devour him Fenrir, the giant wolf Son of Loki, the feared God His howl downs the hills His open jaws nights the day
