Once on my wintry journeys |
|
Resting in the gloomy light |
|
Of thousand stars in sight |
|
My sword by my side and my hood pulled warmly over me |
|
I filled my lungs |
|
With chill scent of the night |
|
And closed my eeyes for a good night's sleep, |
|
I closed my eyes |
|
I saw two ravens circle in the sky |
|
Soaring high, within the treetops they flied, |
|
One came down to me and croaked in a weird language that strangely made perfect sense to me "If it's knowledge you seek, please do follow me, I will lead you to a man, the greatest man of all" [Ref.] |
|
I cleansed my soul in the thousand lakes, |
|
Bathed my heart in the streams of knowledge, |
|
I cleansed my soul in the thousand lakes, |
|
Bathed my heart in the streams of knowledge |
|
I followed the ravens across the woods |
|
Until we came to a place near mountains root, |
|
There was an cavern carved in stone, |
|
Carved in |
|
Stone An old man stood there alone |
|
One eyed he was, cloaked in hood |
|
Softly he spoke, invited me into his hut |
|
He showed me things |
|
I couldn't believe |
|
He showed me places |
|
I didn't know existed, |
|
He teached me wisdom far beyond my imagination [Ref] |
|
Be hailed ye |
|
God of gods |
|
Be hailed ye all wise |
|
O' Odin all knowing |
|
Be hailed, ye hailed be |
