Rising To The Sun

Afflicted

Guide me...

hrafn blots godi...

guide me...

hratn ass...

Odhinn

Odhinn...

Odhinn, hear me...

hrafnass, hear me...

lend me, Sleipner

so I cantride

between the worlds tonight



I sit on my skin rug under the mesmerizing moon

the show falls but I do no freeze

this night is calm and the sky is clear

and the shadows of my life dance on the trees



Spirit, spirit dance with me

dance with me tonight

spirit, spirit dance with me

as he flames we rise and fly



The drum is my horse and it rides through the woods

we swim on the starsea as one

I close my eyes when I hear the wolves

the howls of Geri and Freki, guide me!



Wolf, wolf howl with me

howl with me tonight

wolf, wolf howl with me

guide me now!



The rhythms of the beating of my drum fades away

and I see that the wolves stand awaiting for me

my naked feel leave no trace in the snow

as I run through the woods with the wolves



With my drum I ride the wind

and travel in what you call dreams

I let my spirit rise and fly

to nine worlds invisible to our eyes



My journey has gone beneath the worlds

I praise Odin for lending me sleipner

clenching my fists, I scream to the sky

my dreamquest has begun!



A pagan soul born a thousand years too late

I have the spirit of the old

and my path is set by fate

One of the faithful few I am one of the last

who worship pagan gods and claims

the heritage of our pagan father's past
