Galders great, nine bňltorn gave
nine lays of might
drank the draught of kvasir’s blood
mead divine
Word from word gave words to me
and throve full well
deed from deed gave deeds to me
ere long prudence came
Runes you’ll find and fateful signs
strong staves, stout staves
runes that galdra-father stained
runes of old graved
Word from word gave words to me
how to evoke them
deed from deed gave deeds to me
how to score them
Ride the gallows of the norns
born secrets of the dead
nine runes
nine lays
born secrets of the norns
Ride the gallows of the norns
born secrets of the dead
nine runes
nine lays
born secrets of the dead
