Gjallarhorn lyrics

Through Nifelheim's eternal night A trek of fear and dread The keeper of the well to find The wanderer walks ahead Dressed in grey he struggles on Through ice and piercing wind His weary legs drag along For the price at journey's end By the root of Yggdrasil Sits the watcher of the well Oden offers his appeal But the man is not compelled Fill the Gjallarhorn With water from the pool Let me drain it down And wisdom fill my soul Fill the Gjallarhorn With water from the pool Let me drain it down And wisdom fill my soul The guardian of memories Gave his head one shake Seldom does a silent man Make any grave mistakes He would not be swayed He didn't move, he didn't turn And Oden felt dismayed Just one drink from your well One drink and I'll be wise Ask of me what you will There must be a price Fill the Gjallarhorn With water from the pool Let me drain it down And wisdom fill my soul Fill the Gjallarhorn With water from the pool Let me drain it down And wisdom fill my soul Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn Oden stared into Mimr's eyes His face could not be read Finally he broke a smile And then Mimr said For a drink from my well Your eye is my price Oden showed a steady hand Then calmly he said Give me a knife Fill the Gjallarhorn With water from the pool Let me drain it down And wisdom fill my soul Lift the Gjallarhorn Drink and you'll be wise Wisdom comes to those Who will sacrifice Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn Fill the Gjallarhorn
