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 eyes 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, 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, 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
