Hagalaz
-Light the torches Hagalaz -Enlighten my steps Hagalaz -Search for the hidden key Hagalaz -Open the gates Hagalaz -Guide me through the fog Hagalaz -Let me dwell among Hagalaz -My death and creation Hagalaz -Through fire and ice! A shadowed face, draped in obscenity A crooked finger, pointing towards misery An entity, feeding on mortality No chains to hold me back No peaks too high to climb No arrows can pierce a flaming heart I will break out 'cause I am the... Storm Son Lightning Sister Daughter of Fire Thunderous Brother Into the death I stared Into the nine worlds I traveled Into my dark reflections I collided I broke out 'cause I am the... Storm Son Lightning Sister Daughter of Fire Thunderous Brother 02. The River's Mouth Music & lyrics by I. Peersen
Force open the river's mouth
Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead 03. Sacred Horse Music by I. Peersen Lyrics by I. Peersen, K. Grutle
Through air
Along the path I laid Saw it race by Memories in tow Into the belly of the earth Light of dawn, all alone Char-like shadows, slither away - through water Wounded, burned and without sight Not waiting for another night Now headed for the wild Called from afar and within - through soil Leaving lost wars behind Wildfires of need, calm waters of the mind - through thought Battle cries now resounded On a field at the world's end A clash of gods and giants In the center of the mind Through emotion Through reality Saw a mound Had to bury Sung for another me Had to do (it), so that I could be One for sight Two for flesh Three were the norns Four corners of the worlds Five the number of man Six one two and three Seven streams of blood Eight-legged child of Loke 04. Axis Of The Worlds Music by I. Peersen Lyrics by K. Grutle
Fortresses built by idle hands
Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devouted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings its elegy The lifetime leafs are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom -The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/ EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/ EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/ EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break -The walls will breach 05. Feathers Of Eolh Music by I. Peersen Lyrics by K. Grutle
(Rune-chants)
A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awoke The reflection danced In my center I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me (Rune-chants) 06. Hiindsiight Music by I. Peersen Lyrics by I. Peersen, K. Grutle
I saw a man-shape
Within the bone-dome Went to ask who t'was From the ether-mouth Was told t'was myself In shape of Mannaz And that it was not quiet But came through in waves These waves can only be seen By the eye-third From the below When the above broke Go stand by the edge The mouth spoke out And separate the words From the noise-stream So many words I saw From earth and the other-world Of the Sun, of the Sea Of the Blood and the Seed Hindsight into the present The twos of time in harmony The bear dreaming while Hunting prey-flesh while dreaming The sacred knot is tied The mind-knot will hold The shadow bound for ever more Beast and beast, fish and fish I waded out into the stream From both sides The water was space We were time We are time We became again We are once more We will be again |
