To curb the raising light of faith, and apprehend the day

I passed my eye in Mimer's well, to resurrect the fray

An eye for eye and blood for prey, is what I had to cede

Enlightenment and withstanding day, the outcome of my deed 



The ancient yarns reveal their tale; once wisdom was a trait

But ignorance and fruitless peace, has caused it to forfeit

Where ravens fly through vanquished skies, resounding with success

I seek to stray in grassy fields, and rest in maidens' nest 



At wisdom next to Mimer's well, I stand among the leaves

The protegee of life and death, beneath the gods retreat

The sights of past and present times, ascend from in the well

Foreseeing visions of success, and glorious decay 



The ancient yarns reveal their tale; once wisdom was a trait

But ignorance and fruitless peace, has caused it to forfeit

Where ravens fly through vanquished skies, resounding with success

I seek to stray in grassy fields, and rest in maidens' nest
