God of Mystery
God of Mystery MP3
Tune:"Bound for the Promised Land"
I sing the God who never rests
From finding hidden lore,
And for all the riddles that he guessed
He's ever seeking more.
Chorus:
I follow the God of mystery,
Of memory and thought;
Oh, won't you come and join with me,
To seek what he has sought?
Through labor, trickery and charms
He won the poets' brew,
And breaking free from Gunnlod's arms
From Suttung fast he flew.
Chorus
A knowledge contest entered he
And pledged his life as bet;
His last question was a mystery,
Vafthrudnir lost his head.
Chorus
To drink from wisdom's water, he
Feared not the price to pay,
The wonders of nine worlds to see,
He gave one eye away.
Chorus
Nine nights upon the tree of woe
Triumphant over pain,
To grasp the runes, he looked below
And fell to earth again.
Chorus
The High One wanders far and wide,
He seeks by night and day,
He calls his children to his side
To walk upon his way.
