Lyrics
[Majestic, slow build of music, evoking a sense of ancient power]
[Verse 1]
Before the dawn, before the flame,
I wandered through the void, without a name.
With Ymir’s blood and bones I wrought,
The worlds from chaos, the realms I sought.
In frost and fire, the seeds were sown,
The heavens raised, the earth was grown.
But knowledge hid beyond my grasp,
In shadows deep, I made my task.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I saw the threads, the weaves of fate,
The price of wisdom, the cost was great.
To rule the gods, to stand alone —
A sacrifice must be my throne.
[Chorus]
I gave my eye for endless sight,
To see what lies beyond the night.
I hung on Yggdrasil, nine days of pain,
For runes and secrets I would gain.
With spear in hand and ravens near,
I walk the path that none come near.
For power, for glory, for all I see —
I bear the weight of prophecy.
[Instrumental break, building tension]
[Verse 2]
I sought the well of Mimir’s mind,
Where hidden truths are hard to find.
The price was high, but I endured,
For knowledge deep, my heart was lured.
The giants spoke in riddles dark,
Their voices wrapped in cold and spark.
Yet through the shadows, I would rise,
With wisdom sharp, and clearer eyes.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I saw the end, the twilight’s flame,
The wolf, the world, consumed in shame.
But still I march, though fate be known —
The path is mine, and mine alone.
[Chorus]
I gave my eye for endless sight,
To see what lies beyond the night.
I hung on Yggdrasil, nine days of pain,
For runes and secrets I would gain.
With spear in hand and ravens near,
I walk the path that none come near.
For power, for glory, for all I see —
I bear the weight of prophecy.
[Bridge: quieter, reflective tone in voice]
[Bridge]
What is a king without his throne?
What is a god when all’s unknown?
To rule the heavens, I gave my soul,
But in the end, I pay the toll.
I see the end, the coming war —
But still, I fight, forevermore.
[Final Chorus (strong, defiant tone in voice)]
I gave my eye for endless sight,
To see what lies beyond the night.
I hung on Yggdrasil, nine days of pain,
For runes and secrets I would gain.
With spear in hand and ravens near,
I walk the path that none come near.
For power, for glory, for all I see —
I am the Allfather, destiny's key!
[Outro (slow, fading instrumental)]
I am the Allfather…
The weaver of prophecy.
[End]
