Odin's Ride
The God of the Hunt spares neither himself nor his steed
Broadhat rides to Asgard with a great prize
The God of the Hanged has cheated death
stolen knowledge he takes from southern lands
Allfather Odin rides Sleipnir northward
devouring miles in vast mouthfuls like the Midgard serpent
The black eagle pursues him with great vigor and ardor
for to recover the stolen prize taken from him
Yet he cannot catch the deceiver in it's dread talons
The Hooded One escapes it's grasp
Across the Rainbow bridge rides the father of victory
Safe again in the walls of Valhalla
The God of the Hunt spares neither himself nor his steed
Broadhat rides to Asgard with a great prize
The God of the Hanged has cheated death
stolen knowledge he takes from southern lands
Allfather Odin rides Sleipnir northward
devouring miles in vast mouthfuls like the Midgard serpent
The black eagle pursues him with great vigor and ardor
for to recover the stolen prize taken from him
Yet he cannot catch the deceiver in it's dread talons
The Hooded One escapes it's grasp
Across the Rainbow bridge rides the father of victory
Safe again in the walls of Valhalla
