Yggdrasil - GRYPHON

Rising up from a day of plunder The ale of yesterday has gone down under The battlefield awaits my soul to Odin (for whom I wait) Thor guide me through my battles Lead me home (to Asgard) The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky For the blood is running still From the roots of Yggdrasil Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky Carry me to the hill To the top of Yggdrasil In the hour of final judgement All Father lead my way When the fire of war reign I will watch my brothers fall Our names will be long forgotten We live on forever The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky For the blood is running still From the roots of Yggdrasil Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky Carry me to the hill To the top of Yggdrasil In the dust I swore my hatred From seeing unborn children die The mothers' weeping wakes my sword for vengeance (I thirst for blood) I ride into infinity And as I fall I rise (in Asgard) The victorious will rise to the glory of the gods (Rise, rise, rise, rise) Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky For the blood is running still From the roots of Yggdrasil Rise above the mountains Light a fire in the sky Carry me to the hill To the top of Yggdrasil To the top of Yggdrasil

Under the shady green Leaves of Yggdrasil Three Norns spin a thread so coarse Fates of men, Gods they weave The fairest maiden of the kingdom Hair of silver, snow and ice Lives in the heart of every warrior But one filled her heart's desires With the fever of love's fire The course of true love Never did run smooth How much longer can they endure? Life apart, bitter youth Lost in the land of a thousand forests Far away from her true love He kissed her lips, so mellow and rosy She dreams 'til the sun rise up And then daylight blinds her heart The fairest maiden of the kingdom Hair of silver, snow and ice Lives in the heart of every warrior But one filled her heart's desires With the fever of love's fire
