Odins Prayer

The forests sing, the oceans cry, The ravens soar through every sky Into the corners of Asgard To drive the thuds of Odin’s heart. On Sleipner, he rides on through Surveys the fallen, chooses you, On wings of Valkries flies you home To sit in pride beside his throne! ODIN! Hear my call, My soul belongs too thee, FIRE! On my sword, Bequeath me victory. Brother Loki holds the flame, Thor throws down the light and rain, Upon the dragon-ships below The battle-wails begin to grow. Storming shores with torch in hand To claim conquest upon the land, So as to view the Cosmic Tree And glean the wisdom same as thee. ODIN! Now I know, The secrets born of war, The spoils I fought to own I value more and more. An ancient battle of the gods To claim the land around, as ours, To remain strong as number one, At the behest of Odin’s sons, To see the after-life assured And all man’s imperfections, cured, So one day, everyone will share The hidden words, of Odin’s Prayer… ODIN!!!! Grant my soul, Unfettered passage through, To Valhalla’s hall So I may rest with you.
