Sacrifice
I know myself hanging there,
on that windy tree,
whose roots are unknown,
a sacrifice of myself to myself,
Wounded by my spear Gungnir,
for nine long nights and days I hung,
No food nor drink was brought to me,
Sinking into death they appeared,
Reaching out with a scream,
I grasped the runes,
and sunk from the tree,
with a sigh.

The Bound One
Banished for an act not committed,
I am cursed by my fate,
A prophecy they said,
foretold by the Norns,
of me devouring Allfather.
Cursed I am,
by my blood.
Son of Chaos,
Mischief was expected,
I am not one for tricks,
Despite my wily father.
Cursed I am,
by my strength
and pride.
They used this against me,
told me it was a test of strength.
