Alternative Lyrics to Well Known Songs 22 - Rousing Feelings

This song is about the rousing feelings, the inner-fire, that a father gives to his son by BEING a positive example himself. By having a ‘sparkle’ in his eye and a ‘warm heart’ does he give encouragement to his son.

Their are three characters in this song from the Norse Pantheon (including one who you all know): Thor, Magni (one of Thor’s sons), and Nidhoggr (the most wicked serpent who lives at the bottom of The World Tree, Yggdrasil).

In this song, Magni feelings are roused by looking into the face of his father as Magni battles with the evil serpent (Nidhoggr) who dwells at the bottom-most of The World Tree. Nidhoggr desires to end the world, this world, your world, my world, because he is evil and hates goodness, and it is Magni (which translates as ‘Great’, like in the word ‘magnificent’) who will destroy Nidhoggr with his mighty hammer.

It’s a curious thing: that on this occasion evil trickery is ‘not’ destroyed by a mighty brain, but is instead destroyed by a mighty arm. It’s reminiscent of Alexander the Great solving the puzzle of the Gordian Knot by using a strong arm wielding his sword. If you find yourself confonted by the forked silver-tongue of a woman, politician or whoever, and feel like they are over-whelming you with lies then you might consider using the Magni approach: physical prowess, be it prowess in your arms or in your prowess in your voice.



Play the song in the music video above and sing along with the alternative lyrics given below.

# Rousing Feelings #Well Nidhoggrs forked tongue,
Makes my heart hurt.
