Songtext von Yggdrasil

I know a mighty ash That spreads all over earth The greatest of all trees Standing over the sky Thee roots it has Over three wells Yggdrasil is its name And many creatures dwell within The first I know is with the gods In heavens up high The second I know reaches to where emptiness once was The third is far below In the darkened realm One creature is a burden here Gnawing at the roots Eagle of great knowledge Dwelling in the branches Hawk between its eyes In Yggdrasil's mighty heights Ratatosk, a beast of slander Spreading vicious lies And four slags running in the tree Devouring the leaves I know an ash standing Yggdrasil height a lofty tree, laved with limpid water Thence come the dews into the dales that fall ever stands it green over Urd's fountain The mighty ash , Yggdrasil....
