In the beginning there was the Void
The unending emptiness reigning alone
And then the existence could shape new origin
A cosmic sparkle of intimate force
It grew and spread, first form of life
What'd become known as the "giant world tree"
While all around primal energies formed
The eternal emptiness finally filled
Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim
Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio
Water, ice and storming fire
Pulsing heart of all things
And the new destiny was written
CARVED IN THE WISE TRUNK
THE SECRETS OF THE HOLY RUNES
SET THE FATE OF ASGARD, HEL AND MIDGARD
ROOTS OF ANCIENT MIGHT
REFLECTED IN VALHALLA'S LIGHT
ODIN'S EYE, THE EAGLE EYE OF YGGDRASIL
He sought for knowledge, immortal truth
He walked alone, facing hope, fear and ghosts
To where the mist hides the deep astral secrets
There where the Nornir control the nine worlds
On that high branch his sacrifice
Flesh of the gods ripped for nine days and night
The naked spirit as his final offer
While the dark waters reflected pure light
Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim
Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio
Greatly inflamed by runic power
Shine the lights of Bifrost
In Odin's wounds the key of wisdom
CARVED IN THE WISE TRUNK
THE SECRETS OF THE HOLY RUNES
SET THE FATE OF ASGARD, HEL AND MIDGARD
ROOTS OF ANCIENT MIGHT
REFLECTED IN VALHALLA'S LIGHT
ODIN'S EYE, THE EAGLE EYE OF YGGDRASIL
Greatly inflamed by runic power
Shine the lights of Bifrost
In Odin's wounds the key of wisdom
CARVED IN THE WISE TRUNK
THE SECRETS OF THE HOLY RUNES
SET THE FATE OF ASGARD, HEL AND MIDGARD
ROOTS OF ANCIENT MIGHT
REFLECTED IN VALHALLA'S LIGHT
ODIN'S EYE, THE EAGLE EYE OF YGGDRASIL
