Odin's tree
--------------- 
When water is pouring in and all the rats are jumping ship
Beware the hanged man' stare 'coz he was there as
You are here on the edge
Sacrifice a victory, renounce and you will gain
See loss from a new perspective, insanity makes sane
Receive control by letting go, move fourth by standing still
Free your false securities, rise above this hill
The wisdom of the hanged man. 
Complex. Simple
Mysterious and open, 
when visiting the edge
Use him as a dredge to deepen shallow waters
A wedge to force a way
Chanting on a lie will not make it true one day
Surrender to higher wisdom, reverse and you'll advance
Navigate your naked soul, contentment gives a trance
Erase your grip and calm your waters, take time now just to be
Cut the anchor that pulls you under
Loose the noose, now you are free
The wisdom of the hanged man. 
Complex. Simple
Mysterious and open. 
When you walk the blade
You must learn the trade
Shark infested waters carry you to open sea
From darkened skies the sun arise
You equalize as dead weight vaporize
When your ship comes in one day
When planks click into place
The lessons learnt will shine in you
The glory on once burnt
Pass the tale of rats at sea
Be sure to get it straight
When you hang in Odin's tree
The runes received are never ever free

Tres cantos para el Yggdrasil

Louis Dyer

Tres canciones y sus correspondientes vídeos de grupos de nuevo folk sobre Yggdrasil, el árbol de la mitología nórdica que sostiene a los nueve mundos.


Trobar de Morte


A voice resound in the forest, deep forest

The voice of the forest guide my path

Tree of the life infite life

Embrace my soul with your ancient roots


Ooooh! Yggdrasil


A warm light shine and shine in the forest

A light throught my body presents me the night

Wooden horse, horse of the gods

Riding forever between two worlds


Ooooh! Yggdrasil





Skáld

Ask veit ek ausinn,
heitir Yggdrasill,
hárr baðmr, heilagr,
stendr hann æ yfir grænn.


Urðar brunni

Urðar brunni


Askr Yggdrasils,

hann er æðstr viða,
drýgir erfiði,
meira en menn viti.


Urðar brunni,

hjörtr bítr ofan,
en á hliðu fúnar,
Urðar brunni,
skerðir Níðhöggr neðan.


Hvíta auri,

þaðan koma döggvar,
er í dali falla,
stendr hann æ yfir grænn.

en þat of hyggi hverr ósviðra apa.

Daneheim

 (Danish)

Ni verdener står stille (så stille)
Bundet af livets træ,
kendt af de dødelige, ved navnet Yggdrasil.

Hvert træ har sine ringe, gamle historier fortæller.
Under skygge i træets dyb, husker vi navnet Yggdrasil. 

 (Translated to English)

Nine worlds stand still (so still)
Bound by the tree of life,
Known by the mortals, the name Yggdrasil.

Each tree has its rings, old stories they tell us.
In shadows of the depths of the tree, we remember the name Yggdrasil.
