[Verse 1] Nine worlds hang from one bone One ash in the cold Roots bite deep in the dark Crown high in the gold Midgard hums with mortal breath Asgard burns with pride Jotunheim grinds its iron teeth While secrets run inside [Pre-Chorus] Hear it crack Hear it grow From root to ring From below Every road Every name Leans on the same old frame [Chorus] Yggdrasil, hold us up Yggdrasil, lift the flood Nine worlds, one great spine Nine worlds, one fate, one sign (Oh, Yggdrasil) Yggdrasil, hold us up [Verse 2] Vanaheim grows green and deep Alfheim glows like frost Svartalfheim hammers sparks in stone At a price that’s never lost Niflheim keeps its pale hard breath Muspel spits its flame Hel counts every quiet step And none leave twice the same [Pre-Chorus] Hear it crack Hear it grow From root to ring From below Every road Every name Leans on the same old frame [Chorus] Yggdrasil, hold us up Yggdrasil, lift the flood Nine worlds, one great spine Nine worlds, one fate, one sign (Oh, Yggdrasil) Yggdrasil, hold us up [Bridge] Ravens circle the broken sky Serpents coil below Still the old tree keeps its vow Through the ice and glow If one world falls, we feel it If one world sings, we know All the realms are braided tight In the same deep rope [Final Chorus] Yggdrasil, hold us up Yggdrasil, lift the flood Nine worlds, one great spine Nine worlds, one fate, one sign (Oh, Yggdrasil) Yggdrasil, hold us up
