I am the Raven-Cloaked One, The watcher of the endless skies, I send my ravens to see beyond the veil, To feast on truths and lies. My wings sweep across the night For I am Hrafnáss, the Raven-Father, The hand of fate’s demand. I am the One-Eyed Wanderer, The traveler without any rest, I gave my sight to see the unseen, To hear the call of the abyss, Through the realms of gods and men, I walk with no regrets. Death-Cloaked, Oath-bound, Mead Wise. I am the Spear-Bearer, The bringer of the end, With Gungnir in my hand, I command the storm to bend. My sacred spear strikes true, With the force of worlds undone, For I am the Wielder of the Spear, The bringer of the final sun. I am the Wolf-Clad One, The one who hunts the wild, In the forest deep, I walk, A shadow, fierce and wild. My sons are like wolves, My heart beats with the hunt, I am the father of beasts, The bound and the relentless, ruthless and blunt. I am the creator of kings, I shape the heavens with my hands, And command the birth of things. I bind the fates of men and gods, In the Well of Mimir, I drink, I know the past, the present, and All that might lie in the brink. I am the God of the Gallows, The one who hangs with no fear, I hung upon the sacred tree, To bring forth wisdom clear. I am the Wounded One, Sacrificed for All, In this death, all things aligned. I am the ruler of gods and men, From the warriors hall I reign, Where no mere mortal can ascend. I am the War-God, The father of the brave, I lead the dead to feast, For I am the Chooser of the Slain, And the Feast of the West. I am the Seeker of Wisdom, The one who knows the way, I am he who knows the runes, And carve my truth in clay. I am the Giver of Destiny, The master of fate’s threads, Through my breath, the universe was born, Through my will, the stars are spun, I am the Father of the Volsungs The many and the one.
