Ethica Odini

Reckless men
So righteous, so clean
Towards the light
So bashful, so pureWho told you to abandon life
Your strength, free will
And bow for the light? The light
And turn from the spinning wheelFear of the judgment, obeyYou have the key to mystery
Pick up the runes, unveil and see
Judgment comes, before us lie
The paths of war and you may dieYou have the key, cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cryYou have the key to mystery
Pick up the runes, unveil and see
Judgment comes, before us lie
The paths of war and you may dieYou have the key, cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that crySearch beyond the blinded eyes
(Listen before you preach)
Don't leave yourself behindHonor life, when life has ceased
(Welcome the dawn)
Beware the glory talesWatch their deeds, so just and fair
Crusaders, appointed by GodWho told you to
Step inside and preach?
Did you forget
The daggers lurking in the dark?Couldn't you listen
Or didn't you ever learn how?
Were you saved? Were you saved?
So you could slaughter with grace?You have the key to mystery
Pick up the runes, unveil and see
Judgment comes, before us lie
The paths of war and you may dieYou have the key, cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that cryYou have the key to mystery
Pick up the runes, unveil and see
Judgment comes, before us lie
The paths of war and you may dieYou have the key, cross over and see
The old and wind-cold tree
Walk the steps
And you'll hear the winds that crySearch beyond the blinded eyes
(Listen before you preach)
Don't leave yourself behindHonor life, when life has ceased
(Welcome the dawn)
Beware the glory talesHold on, don't fade away
Don't be afraid to bleed
Don't be afraid to dreamHold on, don't fade away
Don't be afraid to bleed
Afraid to dream
Let the elders enlighten the path
They have cried for you, died for youRide on, ride on
Ride on, ride on
