Therion - Secret of The Runes (Epilogue) lyrics

rate me

The runes are the secrets of the universe. Their inner meaning is hidden and concealed to the uninitiated. When you learn the secret of the runes your eyes shall open and you will become a god. By ancient techniques of ecstasy Odin entered into the dark spheres of runic wisdom. he sacrified himself to himself in his search for knowledge. If you follow his example and tenter the way of Odin you might be told the true secret of the runes.

SECRET OF THE RUNES

Hangatyr, Your whisper told me the secret of the runes.

I follow you to be come immortal.

I take a ride on the worldtree, offer me to myself.

I hear the song

I carve the runes of the Irmin.

I pick the leaves of the worldtree, Yggdrasil my stallion

Eighteen I find (when I) sing the song of Odin.

I eat the fruits of the Futhark

Yggdrasil my stallion

I take a ride (and fly) with the wings of Odin

Seek it low you go to find them glow

By the well of Mimameid

Eighteen runes will come to you Take the hand of Hangatyr

You feel the serpent rise
