Wyrd Of The Dead Lyrics - Einherjer

[Lyrics by Frode Glesnes] 

[Music by Gerhard Storesund & Frode Glesnes] 

 

Wounded 

I hung on a wind-swept gallows 

For nights all of nine 

Pierced by a spear 

Odin 

Offered myself to myself 

Wisest know not 

From whence spring the roots 

 

I plegded to Odin 

A hanged mans gift 

 

Saw him hang nine days and nights 

Pain did blind his sacrifice 

More dead than alive 

Carve the runes the dead to speak 

Enlight the strong desert the weak 

The wyrd of the dead 

 

Suffer 

A sacrifice so profound 

They gave no bread 

They gave no mead 

Peered down 

I grasped the runes screaming of need 

I took them 

From that tree I fell 

 

I plegded to Odin 

A hanged mans gift 

 

Saw him hang nine days and nights 

Pain did blind his sacrifice 

More dead than alive 

Carve the runes the dead to speak 

Enlight the strong desert the weak 

The wyrd of the dead
