i do not own this song in any way. Its a somewhat easy to memorize song some of you might like, in the video the man hums the base tune, if you memorize that singing this is quite easy. hope you all enjoy it.

Song for Odin

I sing of the tales of The Wanderer
The rider of Yggdrasill
He gave up an eye into Mimirs Well
Where deeply, he drank his fill.

For nine long nights, Old Hrr, hung he
In search of the spoken spell;
The Runes that he found drew sounds for man
And down, from The Tree, he fell.

A snake, he slid through Gunnlos court;
The Mead of Poetry sought;
Three sips, and he fled as eagles wing;
By Suttung, was never caught.

Two sticks on a beach Hrbar had found;
His brothers heard his call;
He gave his own breath and his blood to the wood
And told them of his hall:

Valhalla holds the Einherjar
Wholl fight on Vigri plain.
As Fenrir sinks his fangs to the bone
The life of Odin will wane.

Fear not, my kin, of the Ragnark,
For Fimbultr truly has won;
He saw his own death at the end of time
And whispered this to his son.
