Havamal from Geardagum by Karmic Ashes
Old Norse for "Sayings/Song of the High One," the poem in which Odhinn famously undergoes the shamanic passage that gains him the rune wisdom by spearing himself to Yggdrasil. The lyrics are essentially my own poetical paraphrase of that section of the original poem, expanded by study of the runes and including esoteric knowledge surrounding the rune Ansuz, Odhinn's rune.

Lyrics
Secrets of Synthesis
A wielding of runes
Furious inspiration, rushing through the heavens
Trickling divine ecstasies
My galdr reaches for thee Ansuz-king
Leading the flock of endless ending
And fading 'cross the bridge
He who is thrice-thought rise with my spell-craft
And speak through my runa
Way through the worlds given to ours of nine
The mystic blood doth flow, neverlost!
Guiding his children since the primal battles of old
Where the name Odhinn was written in the flowing blood
Quest at the dawn of time, searching outstretched limbs
Held aloft by spear
Sacrificed unto mysteries
Himself to himself
Screaming
And falling back, Truth in hand
Breathing the secret out in whispers of power
He gives to us the rune-songs
