**Song Build Intro**

**Verse 1)**
Upon the throne of Hlidskjalf high
He watches worlds beneath the sky
Two ravens fly through mist and gold
To bring him tales of young and old
A traveler in a cloak of grey
Searching for wisdom along the way.

**Verse 2**
He traded an eye in Mimir’s well
To learn the secrets no tongue can tell
Pierced by Gungnir, hung from the tree
Nine days of death to set the runes free
Master of magic, weaver of fate
The architect of the cosmic gate.

**Pre-Chorus**
The gallows-god, the lord of the spear
In his presence, the cowards fear
For knowledge bought with blood and bone
He sits upon the world alone!

**Chorus**
Odin! Ruler of the nine-fold realm
Odin! Iron hand upon the helm
From the roots of Yggdrasil to the stars
Healing the spirit, ignoring the scars
The Allfather speaks, the heavens shake
The ancient giant begins to wake!

**Verse 3**
He gathers the warriors, the bold and the brave
To stand at the edge of the world’s final grave
For he knows the wolf is breaking his chain
And the serpent will rise from the boiling main
A king who prepares for a war he will lose
With the power of runes and the path he must choose.

**Bridge**
Valhalla’s gates are swinging wide
With the Valkyries riding by his side
One eye to see what the Norns have spun
One heart to fight 'til the sun is gone.

**Breakdown**
[Brutale, langsame Schläge auf die Snare. Tiefe, grollende Growls.]
HANGED MAN!
RUNE FINDER!
NINE DAYS... OF PAIN!
GUNGNIR... STRIKES!
DIE FOR THE ALLFATHER!

**Pre-Chorus**
The gallows-god, the lord of the spear
In his presence, the cowards fear
For knowledge bought with blood and bone
He sits upon the world alone!

**Outro**
The raven returns...
The secret is told...
The Allfather waits...
In the halls of gold.
