Lyrics Runarmal - SIG:AR:TYR

Runarmal

I know… the runes that bite the flesh
I know… the runes that heal the wound
I know… the runes that curse the sword
I know… the runes that stay my steed
I know… the runes that calm the waves
I know… the runes that ward the hall
I know… the runes that charm the maid
I know… the runes that birth the child
I know the runes
I know… the runes that that witches weave
I know… the runes that spirits hear
I know… the runes that giants fear
I know… the runes of fire and ice
I know… the runes that bring me wealth
I know… the runes that slay my foes
I know… the runes that guard my tomb
I know… the runes that spell my doom
I know the runes
I know… the runes that break the chains
I know… the runes that blunt the sword
I know… the runes that cool the flames
I know… the runes for the dead to speak
I know… the runes that shield my men
I know… the runes that halt the bow
I know… the runes that Odin won
I know… a secret I will never tell
Erik was reluctant to abandon his old religion, but his wife, Thjodhild,
was converted at once, and she had a church built not too close to the
farmstead… Thjodhild refused to live with Erik after she was converted,
and this annoyed him greatly.
— Erik the Red’s Saga
Runes wilt through find, and rightly read,
of wondrous weight, of mighty magic,
which that dyed the dread god,
which that made the holy hosts,
and were etched by Odin.
— Havamal
