[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
|
