about

Odin's Quest for Wisdom is a track about the allfather's great sacrifices made in order to obtain knowledge and wisdom.

As all the other tracks from the upcoming album Urðarbrunnr, it is sang in Old Norse and contains authentic texts from Poetic Edda.

lyrics

Ein sat hon úti, þá er inn aldni kom
yggjungr ása ok í augu leit.

Veit ek, at ek hekk vindga meiði á
nætr allar níu, geiri undaðr
ok gefinn Óðni, sjalfr sjalfum mér,
á þeim meiði, er manngi veit
hvers af rótum renn.

Allt veit ek, Óðinn, hvar þú auga falt,
í inum mæra Mímisbrunni.

Við hleifi mik
sældu né við hornigi;
nýsta ek niðr, nam ek upp rúnar,
æpandi nam, fell ek aftr þaðan.
