The lines repeated for most of the lyrics come from the Völuspá (“Profecy of the seeress”), stanza 28, first and most notorious poem from the Poetic Edda. When Odin, who loved to challenge others’ knowledge, tests the seeress’, she answers annoyed that she knows everything about him, including the fact that he took out his eye and offered it as a pledge to the wise giant Mímir to convince him to let him drink from the spring of knowledge he guards.
The lines “And they came before him, (…) There he will lie until Ragnarök” come instead from the Gylfaginning (“Gylfi’s deceit”), first part of the Prose Edda. The “they” it’s talking about are the serpent Jörmungandr, the giantess Hel and the wolf Fenrir. All three are Loki’s children and will play an important role in the fall of the gods during Ragnarök.
The names by which Odin is called are countless. Those listed in the song are only a part of them.
I know a transcription in runes of such a text doesn’t really have any reason to be, if not as a treat, but yeah…that’s just what it is, bear with me.
Any suggestion and/or observation is warmly welcome.
The lyrics are pronounced as modern Icelandic, instead of using Old Norse pronunciation: e.g. they sing “á” as the Icelandic diphthong /au/ instead of the Old Norse /a:/, or “ll” as /tl/.

How could someone dislike this?.... Must be a Saxon
I'm a Saxon, and I fucking LOVE IT!
Saxons were a Germanic tribe, as we're the Angles. What's your point?
@@volkischfraulein2957 I think his point is Danelaw
German EagleWolf read the story
@@volkischfraulein2957 Genau. Wotan..Wodan....Woden....Oden..Odin....Òdinn.
Anyone else watched it 200 times trying to learn to sing along?

I sorely want to sing this at karaoke, but I can not master the speed of the bit after “Heitr.” Also, I can’t find a karaoke version.
@@HarperEvolution I can make you a karaoke version if you want...
@@RealAngelOfMusic that would awesome honestly
I really like this song for how ambiguous it is about it being with Odin or against him. Like on one hand you have this being sang as a praise to Odin saying all his names, his tail of his eye and how he banished jormungand to the sea but on the other hand you can make this sound as a threat that you know everything about his eye and his power, how his names dont have an efect on you and are not a secret to you and how he will pay for jormungand banishment when ragnarok starts.
Just imagine that you are in an army against vikings and the vikings keep saying all togather like this song. Omg it must be very scary. I fell in love with the language even if i dont understand it. Greetings from Turkey SKÅL
Never listened to anything like this before and it randomly plays while listening to something completely different... And I'm not disappointed... Cool song.
You’re doing the good mans work. SKÅL BROTHER

SKÅL!!

For those who do not know: This language(on top) is called Old Norse, and is written with Runes. It’s pretty hard to learn as like no one speaks it anymore. No one knows what it Trubels sounds like too.
This seriously sounds like a war chant. I can picture the drums being them beating their swords against their shields. It’s threatening as hel.
Imagine if the vikings use this against Wessex
Not necessarily scary as hel, more like as scary as gunungugap
But it does read like they are calling out Odin.
@@stephennicholson1377 now i cant unthink thats what they are doing
@@matteopellecchia5250 Well, he is known for war among a bunch of other things.
I don't feel like making the list right now though. Sorry
I was going to like it anyway, then I saw it was on 68 likes. Then I just knew I *had* to.
Doing odinns work
I can lend you some longship if you want
@@sloppyjo5371 I never told him but I'm so proud he did.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG
Awesome. Thank you! Skål.
Epic song!
Cool song - I love it! 🔥
Flamspark ! You are great ! I hope that you will translate with runic letters also some songs from Valdruna and Daneim
I love your music. This is one of my favourite songs in the worlds, besides Run. That is wonderful.
Its not his its Skalds
My new favorite song!
“I know everything, Odin”. Bone-chilling. SKÅL 🏴☠️⚔️
You are one of only a few uploaders translating these songs and I honestly believe your translations to be most accurate. Thank you for your work and effort. I love the music but, lack the language... For now.
Skol my brothers n sisters that created this song this is fire🔥🔥🔥I love it I feel the viking pride n honor in this song
Quite an awesome song.
I wish the lyrics said more, since it's repetitive, but it's still cool and catchy.
Yeah, this band tends to use quite repetitive lyrics x)
It could be a chant? Idk, but I like it too. Lol
the album it's on is called "Vikings Chant" so yeah
The lyrics are pretty repetitive because it's telling the story from the Poetic and Prose Edda, which is written like a poem
If you want something with more meaning, check out Wardruna. I recommend their song "Lyfjaberg". It's probably the most beautiful song I have ever heard, in my life. . . It brings a tear to my eye. I believe the official video has English captions.
We love Paganism❤️🙏
really nice ✨✨✨
I love how this is also written in Elder Futhark
*Younger Futhark. Only the title is in EF

Das Lied gefällt mir, es hat mir sehr schön geklungen, ich könnte paar Worten verstehen aber joa.
Thanks i love it!
1:01 I have heard of the Draugar before.
The all father away who else would like to go to Valhalla when they die
I want to see my lost family
I am italian but screw the church.

Adoro
Really sold Odin out, there, they literally asked him where his left eye is
thats not what there saying, there saying: i know it all odin, where you hid your eye odin, in the glorious well of mimir, is where you hid your eye odin.
i know it all odin, where you hid your eye odin, drinks mimir mead every morning from the surety of odin
and then after he says heitr he says al the nam known as odin {this is not a 100 precent accurate translation btw just saying they not asking cause its known that odin gave his left eye for knowledge}
I feel the myth in this song, it is alive
This literally feels like magic??
That's because it is. It is LITERALLY invoking Odin.
@@nicholassorady8637 It feels so powerful
@@nicholassorady8637 Óðinn*
@@nicholassorady8637 Yes?
Will you upload other Skáld songs ?

I love this music it's in my blood may be Christian but when ur born with viking blood in u something about this music boils your blood to excitement
Hello! First, thank you very much for your work, as I really love this song, I appreciate it very much. Secondly, I see you mentioned the fact that "the lyrics are pronounced as modern Icelandic, instead of using Old Norse pronunciation". Could you be so kind as made lyrics text in the form as it is pronounced in the Old Norse but with modern English letters? I'd love to sing it, but my tongue breaks when I try. Thank you again!
My ancestors are demanding justice and they will soon have it.
Please protect us all Alfodr 🤍✨
❤.😊. 🎉.
Great Odin the Wise right hand of our Perun
Where do I learn this language? Sounds so epic!
What rune set did you use?
Younger Futhark
@@FlamSparks does the band use that rune set as well? I noticed there was a couple different types and it just confused me lol
@@garfinator1 nope, the runes were added by me
I was like "why is this questline in AC familiar"

Sorry i don't speak enchanting table...
Wheres a good place to learn the language
University
If you want to teach it to yourself, go here norse-mythology.org/learn-old-norse/
There's 2 books and a dictionary linked in the article
It is Old Iclandic, but is likely the closest youll get to the Old Norse. The language changed largely in northern Europe due to mainland influence. Iclandic changed some small spelling and pronunciation items, but this is the best source Ive found for teaching yourself. Very little exists for learning anything older.
