Dive into yggdrasil

I saw the tree standing Between worlds and time Its roots in the darkness Its branches divine

Three wells beneath me Three roads in the night I gave up an eye To see without sight

Dive into Yggdrasil Down where the old roots grow Where the Norns carve the future And the dead still know

Dive into Yggdrasil Leave what you think you are The deeper I descended The brighter burned the star

Nine nights I was hanging Between earth and sky No hand came to save me No answer came by

I pierced through the darkness I listened alone And there in the silence The runes became known

Dive into Yggdrasil Down where the old roots grow Where wisdom has a price And sacrifice will show

The serpent coils beneath me The eagle watches high A squirrel carries whispers Between the worlds that die

Ragnarök is coming The old order will fall But beneath the burning branches The seed survives it all

Dive into Yggdrasil Where endings become beginnings The tree may shake and break But the roots are never finished

I don’t seek Valhalla I don’t fear the grave I seek what waits beneath it The knowledge I must brave

Dive… into Yggdrasil Past the gods and past the throne Past the stories carved in stone Until the root beneath the world Remembers what I know

Runes in the darkness Fire in the snow The tree keeps breathing And down I go
