Rebellion - Runes lyrics

rate me

I know myself hanging there<br />

For nice icy nights<br />

Facing the endless darkness around me<br />

<br />

Wounded by my own spear<br />

On the wind cold tree<br />

I am Odin - Hallowed by my own rite<br />

<br />

A tree unknown the roots be sprouts<br />

Lets my life slowly fade<br />

From a bough of Yggdrasil I hung<br />

Committed to my fate<br />

<br />

Delivered to the fright<br />

Of endless ice and night<br />

I had to gaze into the misty world<br />

Of Niflheim - the dire northern frost empire<br />

In my self chosen solitude<br />

<br />

Runes you will reveal<br />

In the dust of ancient times<br />

Remember my sacrifice<br />

When I hung for these nine nights<br />

<br />

Runes they were concealed<br />

In the dust of ancient times<br />

I died to be reborn<br />

When I suffered these nine nights<br />

<br />

When I begun to grow<br />

Evanescent by pain<br />

I sunk from the tree with a sigh<br />

<br />

The knowledge of the dead I learnt<br />

Cause only cruelty can forge<br />

And then word just followed word</
