The River's Mouth Force open the river's mouth Do not wait for the pour Go push open The fleshy eyelids Before dawn calls upon us Sound the golden horns Before they scout the gates Go home and build the temples As cognition ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead Chasing time Live in dreams more real Than any days of yore Flow, in more ways than one Dance to the discord that be Laugh out loud At the truths left behind Welcome to the place That is not As the flame ignites Speed of thought Motion with purpose Eyes ahead 3. Sacred Horse Through air Along the path I laid Saw it race by Memories in tow Into the belly of the earth Light of dawn, all alone Char-like shadows, slither away – through water Wounded, burned and without site Not waiting for another night Now headed for the wild Called from afar and within – through soil Leaving lost wars behind Wildfires of need, calm waters of the mind – through thought Battle cries now resounded On a field at the world's end A clash of gods and giants In the centre of the mind Through emotion Through reality Saw a mound Had to bury Sung for another me Had to do (it), so that I could be One for sight Two for flesh Three were the norns Four corners of the worlds Five the number of a man Six one two and three Seven streams of blood Eight-legged child of Loke 4. Axis Of The Worlds Fortresses built by idle hands Weapons forged in the shadows Solemn words praise the devoted and brave Stepping on the threshold of the insane The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The songbird sings it's elegy The lifetime leaves are turning pale The serpent gnawing and spitting Praising the high king on his golden throne For shelter, harvest and peace Seeking council in the halls of the tyrant Dwelling on the doorsteps of doom The walls must be breached The branches of the old tree creak The soldier swinging swords The glare in the hearts is fading The serpent feasts with joy Chase the serpent Step on his tail Grant it eyes to behold Grant it wings to expand Grant it thoughts to convey Grant it claws to destroy EIHWAZ/EOH Envision the sacrifice EIHWAZ/EOH Glance into the worlds EIHWAZ/EOH Let the blood heal EIHWAZ/EOH Let it grow, let it rot As certain as birth and death Grief will follow laughter and joy The vermin will return to the lair But the branches will never break The walls will breach 5. Feathers Of Eolh [Rune-chants] A clear voice shouted From the bridge between the worlds Hidden among misty peaks A mother tongue forgotten In a realm of dead and night In a realm of light and day In a place I roamed In a void I despised In a maze I strayed In an ocean I drowned The claws were scratching On the journey to the stars Yet not unveiling But words were spoken Two bright eyes stared From behind the sun Yet it stared through thin air A long lost brotherhood The shield was broken In my dreams I awake The reflection danced In my centre I died In a state of non-reality In my astral hours In my daylight sleep The feathers lifted me [Rune-chants] 6. Hiindsiight I saw a man-shape Within the bone-dome Went to ask who ’twas From the ether-mouth Was told 'twas myself In shape of Mannaz And that it was not quiet But came through in waves These waves can only be seen By the eye-third From the below When the above broke Go stand by the edge The mouth spoke out And separate the words From the noise-stream So many words I saw From earth and the other-world Of the sun, of the Sea Of the Blood and Seed Hindsight into the present The twos of time in harmony The bear dreaming while Hunting prey-flesh while dreaming The sacred knot is tied The mind-knot will hold The shadow bound for ever more Beast and beast, fish and fish I waded out into the stream From both sides The water was space We were time We are time We became again We are once more We will be again 7.
