Text: Manowar. Gods of War. The Blood Of Odin.
upon his shoulders perch two ravens, huginn and muninn. they circle the earth by day seeing all, at night they report to him the world's tidings.
he wears a golden helmet and a golden ring, at his side sit two wolves. his weapons a magic sword and a spear called gungnir,
they are carved with runes. his eight legged horse sleipnir
carries him over land sea and air, the bringer of the valiant dead, the einherjar, from
the battlefield across the rainbow bridge to valhalla.
for a single drink of the enchanted water he paid with one eye, he was granted
supreme wisdom. he is the god of poetry, sorcery, and death. wounded, pierced by
a spear he hung upside down for nine days. fasting and agony he made of himself
a sacrifice to himself.
given no bread nor mead he looked down,
and with a loud cry fell screaming from the world tree.
A±n a flash of insight the secret magic of the runes was revealed to him. he took up the runes and mastered them, eighteen powerful charms for protection, success in battle, lovemaking, healing and the power to bring back the dead.
his sacred blood mixed with black wind and rain wept down from the world tree deep into the earth.
he commanded the earth to crack open and to spew forth the strongest of the strong!
on this day he did bestow unto the world the sons of odin!

odin'in kanA±
omuzlarA±na iki kuzgun tunemiA?, huginn ve muninn.
gun boyu dunyayA± dolaA?A±p
geceleri anlatA±rlar dunyada olup biteni.
altA±n bir miA?fer giymiA? ve altA±n bir yuzuA?u var, yanA±nda da iki kurt oturur.
silahlarA±, buyulu bir kA±lA±c ve gungnir adA±ndaki bir mA±zrak.
runlerle iA?lenmiA?ler. sekiz bacaklA± atA± sleipnir,
karada, denizde ve gokyuzunde taA?A±r onu, cesur olunun getiricisi, einherjar
savaA? alanA±ndan gokkuA?aA?A± koprusunu aA?A±p valhalla'ya.
bir kez icmek icin buyulu sudan, bir gozunu feda etti,
ustun bilgelik baA?A±A?landA± boylece.
o A?iirin, buyunun ve olumun tanrA±sA±.
yaralandA±, bir mA±zrakla delindi
dokuz gun boyu baA? aA?aA?A± asA±lA± kaldA±.
oruc tuttu ve A±zdA±rap cekerek,
kendini, kendine kurban etti.
ne ekmek ne de bal likoru verdiler, o aA?aA?A± baktA±
ve gurultuyle haykA±rdA± dunya aA?acA±ndan.
bA±r kA±sacA±k anda kavrayA±verdi, gizli buyusunu runlerin
bu ona acA±k edildi. runleri aldA± ve onlarA±n efendisi oldu,
onsekiz guclu tA±lsA±m, baA?arA±yla korunmak icin savaA?ta,
sevmek icin, saA?lA±k ve olumu geri getirmek icin.
kutsal kanA± kara ruzgarla karA±A?tA± ve yaA?mur suzuldu
dunya aA?acA±nA±n uzerinden, dunyanA±n derinliklerine.
dunyaya kA±rA±lmasA±nA± emretti, acA±lA±p A?iddetlerin en buyuA?unu kusmasA±nA± emretti!
bugunde, dunyaya odin'in evlatlarA±nA± armaA?an etti!
