Testo di Allfather

Allfather, how can we help you? How can we bring you wondrous notions? Allfather, how do we read you? How do we will you godly emotions? Eye for a lie, tooth for a truth Hang from the branches, above the well Nine days pass in the blink of one eye One eye in heaven, the other in hell Allfather, learn from the symbols Born in these waters, a gift for the giving To others who fawn at the feet of the master And bathe in the presence, the dead and the living The heavy door closed with a thud The vast and book-lined hallowed halls Sucks me in with endless breath With steady heartbeats to install me At the gate of all there is And all there was, as best we know From pen to paper, man to child The gift of learning's afterglow Afterglow Afterglow Allfather
