Tormented by horrible dreams He decided to flee To hang himself stay for nine whole days For wisdom to have it received His spine broke down and then accreted Life came back to him First oblation has fulfilled Soon he will be free
The price of wisdom shall be paid now The eye and life given as sacrifice
So he threw his spear It forced into him Cut and took his life again Both dead and alive Soulless he went deep down the tree Of the world Second oblation has fulfilled Soon he will be free
The price of wisdom shall be paid now The eye and life given as sacrifice
Under the tree the Giant awaits Ready to take most precious gift The allfather left eye tears out And Gives it to him He throws the eye into the whole Into the wisdom’s well Final oblation has fulfilled Now Oden is free
The price of wisdom shall be paid now The eye and life given as sacrifice
