An Eye for Wisdom

from The Old Lighthouse by Odinfist

/

lyrics

An eternal thirst for knowledge
Beyond the secrets of all worlds
A journey to the sacred water
That every drop, an eternity holds

Odin, god of war
Master of the Runes
Gave his sight to see beyond
All worlds and their dooms

For knowledge divine
I’d give and eye
To be God of the mind
Any sacrifice

Beneath the mighty tree of life
That holds the many worlds
A shadow being guards the well
of cosmic wisdom unparalleled

Mimir, wise guardian
I come to thee this day
To drink from the well of truth
Any price I’ll pay

For knowledge divine
Relinquish an eye
To be god of the mind
Make your sacrifice

Blood runs red
Down my hands
Cast into the well
My blindness now descends
Drinking in sight
Fills my consciousness
As I ascend

Open your eye
To Knowledge divine
All wisdom of life
You hold inside

Opening my eye
To eternity
Secrets of death and life
I have seen

Granting this wisdom
To all my brothers
Of mighty Asgard
And to the realms of man

Raise up your voices
Take up our song
To honor he who
Has made us strong

Almighty Odin
Grant us thy wisdom
Fight by our sides and
Guide us in life and death

Grant us thy wisdom
Power and glory
Honor and valour
Guide us in peace and
War
