The Paean of HangatyrFrozen winds, piercing flesh, blown across the sea / Stirs the boughs of the cosmic tree of origins unknown / Valknot rope encircles throat suspended over the earth / Impaled upon the Gungnir blade releasing crimson waves / I must learn the secret of the ancient runes / Only through death can knowledge be obtained / Nine long days of searing pain will I endure / Through nine eternal nights of constant agony / This pact I make with my mighty forefather / Free from all fear to withstand the suffering / I swear an oath in my immortal blood / The ultimate sacrifice of myself to myself / Beyond the ritual of my spiritual demise / Will i attain the wisdom I seek / And on Walpurgis Night that comes to pass / When i have reached the realms beyond death / All light that burned shall be extinguished / Chaos and sorcery shall reign supreme / Attaining mastery over elusive lore / Screaming, I fell from the gallows / The God of the Hanged am I / Who returned to the night-veiled Earth / Imbued with cosmic erudition / Relighting the fires of the world. |
