Essence of Nine

Awaken to the nine of white Distant from the world above The waves come echoing from afar Transcending beneath the surface Embraced by the infinite abyss In the shadows a figure sits Contemplation across her face She eagerly awaits, Those who venture out to sea Demise! Brought forth by the tempest The storm, now strong with conviction, Tearing through beyond the blackened sky, Out of reach from the light of day Cast down to the depths of obscurity Cursed by the treacherous winds Succumb to the forces of divinity Exiled, wandering through the unknown

Out from the cave the hound does call Broken fetters, the wolf runs free Much have I known and more I have seen The fate of the Gods prowess in war From the east with shield held high Hrym at the helm as waters rise In giant-wrath does the serpent writhe And the eagle gnawing corpses screams “Naglfar Unleashed!” Surt from the south with branches scourge The sun of gods shine from his sword Hlin must bear a second sorrow For Odin fares to fight the wolf As the giant slayer seeks out Surt For there must fall the joy of Frigg Out from the north a ship sets sail Bearing with it those of Hel After the wolf do wild men go The trickster’s kin upon their course After the wolf do wild men go Warriors tread the path from Hel (Adapted from the poetic Edda, stanzas 49-53)

With words that weigh a thousand stones And axes cleave through mortal bones Wise men follow the black-bird’s call That echo through the ancient halls Banquets rot in the halls of kings Empires sink as warriors sing Scepters clasped in bloody hands Oceans swallow holy lands Villages in the distance burn Black smoke rises out from the earth And while men speak from altars high Carrion crows gather in the sky On mortal ears rest Elders lore As bodies wash upon the shore Their lamentations, their final songs The aftermath of silver tongues

The Ancient sun sets, I rise again I rise again Journey Long and toilsome I stand before the spring before the spring Waters flow beneath me the eyes of the one who knows the one who knows Water which spouts my judgment Nine worlds my final home My final home Searching, through wind and summer’s rain, Searching, for my hasted shallow grave. Forgotten by the hall up high Forgotten but glory shall be mine

Out from the mist she came Wet from the morning rain Her hand stretched out to me Her face without expression And then she spoke unto me A foresight of destiny Her eyes a gateway beyond Her presence Divine She weaves the thread of fate She sees what the future holds The seer in white, her staff in hand A prophecy foretold

Within the void, the mighty deep Lies below a serpent ring Beneath its coils rest earth and stone Against its skin black waters flow It reaches beyond the grasp of man Stretching further than a mortal’s glance No wisdom will see its final day For it ends when time began Buried beneath the darkened tides Lurks unseen beneath the waves One wraps the weight of the heavy earth With endless life and endless thirst From it’s origin stemmed twilight's end Where dead men heed the final call Oceans shroud the infinite ring While mortal blood stains eroding sands
