[Intro][Spoken] You ask how wisdom is won. Listen well. --- [Verse 1] I walked alone where the deep well waits, Past pride and power, beyond men's gates. Mímir looked with a knowing stare, "Nothing of worth is freely shared." So I gave an eye to uncover sight, Lost the day to command the night. Blood met water, the bargain sealed, Truth ain't found with an untouched shield. I saw the rise and the fall of kings, The cost beneath all glittering things. Vision ain't seeing what's plain to view, It's facing the storm when it looks at you. --- [Chorus][Dark rap singing] One eye. One vision. Truth demands A hard decision. No crown. No throne. Wisdom's earned, Never owned. If you would walk The path I chose, Pay the price... Then you'll know. --- [Verse 2][Super fast chopper-style vocals] Then came the tree where the worlds unite, Its roots below and its crown in light. No hand to save me, no voice to guide, Only my spear and the will inside. Nine long nights in the wind I swayed, Fed no bread and no comfort gave. I offered myself unto myself, Left every weakness upon that shelf. Pain became more than flesh could bear, Still I found the runes waiting there. Power belongs to the soul that's tried, Not to the fool with an easy ride. I fell... but I did not break. I died... so a wiser god could wake. --- [Bridge] Now hear me. You chase comfort... and wonder why your spirit grows weak. You chase applause... and wonder why your name is forgotten. Strength is forged. Honor is earned. So listen... --- [Verse 3] Keep every oath that leaves your tongue, Stand your ground though you stand alone. Feed the hungry when tables spread, Honor the living and mourn the dead. Lift your brothers when they can't stand, Build with skill from your heart and hands. Never steal what you did not earn, Never stop with a truth to learn. Meet your fear, don't bow your head, Every coward is dying before he's dead. When your last breath leaves your chest, Let your deeds decide the rest. Live so your children speak your name Without one shadow, without one shame. That's the path that I have shown. Walk it well... and earn your own. --- [Final Chorus][Dark Rap singing] One eye. One vision. Stand with honor. That's my mission. No fear. No lies. Meet the world With open eyes. Walk your road. Bear your scars. The most worthy souls Are forged in the heart of stars.. --- [Outro][Spoken] I did not sacrifice... ...so you could live in fear. Stand. Learn. Become.
