lyrics

Give me life
From the womb we will all uncurl
Like the green from a dormant world
As the oak ash and thorn unfurl

Let me thrive
As the light burns away the night
And the stag bellowing his might
So the boy will become a boar

Let me fight
Like the gods and the kings of old
To the edge of the fates untold
Through the doors of the hall behold

By Ac and Æsc and Thorn
By Tiu Eoh and Stan
By Hægl and Sigel and Gar
By Mann Gyfu Ear

þone sweartan hræfnas
Waru ofer me
Eall ielde sceal cwelaþ
þes deaþlicnes

Let me die
Underneath an open sky
By the will of the Gods night falls
And the stars beckon me beyond

Let me die
In the sight of the Gods of men
With a haft cradled in my hand
And the blood of a righteous wrath
Where the oak ash and thorn began

Ic hleoþrige steorrena
Ic hleoþrige steorrum

Let me die
Underneath an endless sky
With my back to the soil and lie
In the gaze of a single eye

Let me die
For the love of the folk and land
With their song in my heart and head
And a haft cradled in my hand
