For nice icy nights
Facing the endless darkness around me
Wounded by my own spear
On the wind cold tree
I am Odin - Hallowed by my own rite
A tree unknown the roots be sprouts
Lets my life slowly fade
From a bough of Yggdrasil I hung
Committed to my fate
Delivered to the fright
Of endless ice and night
I had to gaze into the misty world
Of Niflheim - the dire northern frost empire
In my self chosen solitude
Runes you will reveal
In the dust of ancient times
Remember my sacrifice
When I hung for these nine nights
Runes they were concealed
In the dust of ancient times
I died to be reborn
When I suffered these nine nights
When I begun to grow
Evanescent by pain
I sunk from the tree with a sigh
The knowledge of the dead I learnt
Cause only cruelty can forge
And then word just followed word
I know myself hanging there For nice icy nights Facing the endless darkness around me Wounded by my own spear On the wind cold tree I am Odin - Hallowed by my own rite A tree unknown the roots be sprouts Lets my life slowly fade From a bough of Yggdrasil I hung Committed to my fate Delivered to the fright Of endless ice and night I had to gaze into the misty world Of Niflheim - the dire northern frost empire In my self chosen solitude Runes you will reveal In the dust of ancient times Remember my sacrifice When I hung for these nine nights Runes they were concealed In the dust of ancient times I died to be reborn When I suffered these nine nights When I begun to grow Evanescent by pain I sunk from the tree with a sigh The knowledge of the dead I learnt Cause only cruelty can forge And then word just followed word Explain Request ×
