In Norse mythology, Iðunn is a goddess associated with apples and youth. She is described as the wife of the skaldic god Bragi, as a keeper of apples and granter of eternal youthfulness and someytimes is inked to fertility.

Loki was once forced by the jötunn Þjazi to lure Iðunn out of Asgard and into a wood with the promise of apples even fairer than her own. Þjazi, in the form of an eagle, abducts Iðunn from the wood, bearing her off to his home. Iðunn's absence causes the gods to grow old and grey, and they realize that Loki is responsible for her disappearance. Under duress, Loki promises to bring her back and, setting out in the form of a falcon, eventually finds her alone at Þjazi's home. He turns her into a nut and flies back toward Asgard. When Þjazi returns to find Iðunn gone, he assumes his eagle form once more and flies off in hot pursuit of Loki and his precious burden. The gods build a pyre in the courtyard of Asgard and, just as Loki has stopped short of it, kindle it. Unable to halt his frenzied onrush, Þjazi plunges headlong through the fire, falling to the ground with his feathers aflame, whereupon the gods attack and kill him.

Who Wants To Live Forever: Lyrics

Taste her apples of fortune
Your life becomes immortal
She's appearing to me with a shining smile

Her powers ward off chaos and strife
Fair goddess, she's the keeper of life
Her name is Idun so fair and so kind

I'll take you to the thunder home
Up high where icy towers rule

Who wants to live forever
Who is daring to escape
From the darkness
Leave the world behind

Who wants to live forever
For the stars we reach the sky
Who wants to live forever
And ever more

She's lured into the forest
Where the eagle is waiting for her
Mighty wings shall take her far away

High above, where the gods do dwell
There's a goddess with a magic well
When she left all turned old and grey

I'll keep you in the thunder home
Up high where icy towers rule

Who wants to live forever
Who is daring to escape
From the darkness
Leave the world behind

Who wants to live forever
For the stars we reach the sky
Who wants to live forever
And ever more

I will return
On Falcon wings
By divine magic

Who wants to live forever
Who is daring to escape
From the darkness
Leave the world behind

Who wants to live forever
For the stars we reach the sky
Who wants to live forever
And ever more

Ever more, who wants to live forever
Ever more, who wants to live forever
(Who wants to live forever)
Who wants to live forever and ever more
