[Intro] (Ambient freezing northern wind + distant monastic chanting + slow dissonant guitar swells + raven cries) [Verse 1 – Abyssal growls, short violent imagery] One eye burning in the well of endless night Hanged upon the tree for wisdom’s cruel bite Ravens circle screaming secrets of the slain Allfǫðr calls us through the storm and pain [Pre-Chorus – Tormented layered screams with repetition] Oðinn… Oðinn… Allfǫðr calls… Oðinn… Oðinn… the Raven Lord calls… [Chorus – Large memorable phrase, abyssal growls + layered screams] ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! WISDOM THROUGH THE SPEAR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! RAVENS IN THE AIR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! HANG ME ON THE TREE! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! GRANT YOUR FURY UNTO ME! [Verse 2 – Short violent imagery] Spear of Gungnir pierces through the battlefield’s roar Valhalla’s gates swing wide for those who thirst for more Runes carved in flesh, blood flows as sacrifice Allfather watches with his single burning eye [Pre-Chorus] Oðinn… Oðinn… Allfǫðr calls… Oðinn… Oðinn… the Raven Lord calls… [Chorus] ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! WISDOM THROUGH THE SPEAR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! RAVENS IN THE AIR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! HANG ME ON THE TREE! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! GRANT YOUR FURY UNTO ME! [Instrumental Break – 18-22s] (Dissonant tremolo guitar leads over blast beats with monastic chanting layered underneath + crushing bass drops + raven cries and spear impacts) [Breakdown – Slower crushing line, abyssal growls] I hang… I bleed… I see… Allfǫðr… grant me… the runes… of victory… [Final Chorus – Escalation with tormented layered screams + monastic chanting] ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! WISDOM THROUGH THE SPEAR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! RAVENS FILL THE AIR! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! THE WORLD TREE SHAKES AND BLEEDS! ALLFǫÐR OÐINN! FOREVER I SHALL FEED! [Final Instrumental Outro] (Slow crushing riff with fading monastic chanting, raven cries, wind, and tormented layered screams dissolving into silence) [Outro – Deep abyssal whisper] Allfǫðr Oðinn… Guide us through the storm…
