xynfonica - the viking zodiac lyrics

i am the seer
i know what’ll happen
i gaze skywards
to see fates of men
i know nine stars
circling asgard’s walls
i know which aesir
occupy asgard’s halls
i watch for odin
lord of the evening sky
i watch as yngve{1}
does his foes defy
i watch for thor
travelling celestial roads
and tyr tells me
what the future forebodes
after the gap of summer
ymir{2} appears
shining ever vigilant
odin he fears
gladheim’s{3} king does attack
valkyrie at his side
his wrath is so much more
than ymir can abide
ymir slain, dwarves{4} become
visable to our eyes
the gods take their places
in the night skies
if in hours before dawn
loki nowhere looms
in the hours after dusk
frigg{5} will kiss her groom
as the daylight hours wear away
and the fall equinox balances night and day
odin travels to where norns hold sway
to sacred sakvabekk{6}, ravens{7} lead his way
odin loses an eye in urd’s well
gains the ability future to foretell
but frey travels further south still
to battle with beli{8} whom odin cannot k!ll
after the equinox, as longer nights draw nigh
odin reaches alfheim{9}, elves dance in western skies
frey is there too, enjoying a harvest fest
or hunting game, in ullr’s forest
in the morning sky, loki is seen departing
from jotunheim{10}, to asgard he’s starting
to work his schemes, of mischievous cunning
before night gives way, to shortened sunning
as samhain draws near, odin sojourns at
yewdale{11}, ullr’s home, and enjoys the hunt
, the eagle{12} soars above, as pointed arrows fly
eggther{13}plays his harp high up in the sky
more sumptuous are feasts, as game is slain
frey may join the hunt, or with thor remain{14}
dawns now come late, the norns and loki
secretly conspire most mischieviously
now the sun is hardly seen at all
odin shepherds goats of thor
inside thruthheims{15} wall
as winter storms begin to roar
thor himself does elsewhere stay
whilst snows thruthheim engulf
before dawn does precede day
loki fathers fenris the wolf{16}
solstice p-sses and sunless days
slowly start to wear away
snow falls and piles into drifts
note the signs as the seasons shift
odin does in vidur’s realm abide
searching for a steed to ride
from above appears sleipnir{17} his horse
to carry him along on his course
odin p-sses through noatun{18}
home of njord’s vanir
he gives njord’s son frey
a window through which to peer
frey gazes through the window
instantly falls in love
with the thurs{19} maiden gertha{20}
chained to the sky above
frey gives his sword to skirnir{21}
to set gertha free
thus frey is left bladeless
on the day of destiny
longer days herald the equinox
dragon ships leave their docks
snow melts and valleys flood
hungry warriors l-st for blood!
to glitnir{22} does odin trudge
where forseti sits as judge
balder’s son bedecked in gold
settles disputes of which he’s told
spring is here, men start their wars
to replenish winter diminished stores
odin journeys to freyja’s{23} lands
from there valkyrie{24} he commands
to folkvang{25} they bring half the slain
where freyja’s kisses soothe their pain
in valhalla the other half abide{26}
til reborn to war again they ride
after lengthening days
odin with nine sisters{27} lays
to heimdall they give birth
lord of himinbiorg’s{28} hearth
weaponless frey p-sses by
flaming surt{29} in the sky
burning sword on his belt

to balder’s funeral pyre
odin brings flesh consuming fire
with mimir’s{30} head he holds court
as nights start to grow short
fenris falls from the sky
tis odin’s time to die
in his jaws fenris grasps
odin breathing his last gasp
odin’s corpse is taken
to thrymheim{31}
where thiazi’s thurses
spend summer time
solstice has arrived
sun reigns supreme
at twilight time
stars are no more seen
but nightless days
shall meet their end
dark shall return
odin will shine again
