Runes Shall You Know

A first weary glance at a ruby horizon
The last glittering stars now passing from view
The last dream is fading, the daybreack has come
For this morn, now dawning, might be the last
Runes shall ye know on untrodden ways
Know how to scratch know how to grasp
Few only know that othin obtained
Runes shall ye know on untrodden ways
Know how to round and how to attain
Few only know whom freya will chose
Ere forenoon came closer that very last day
The sun riding high on a watchet cloudless sky
I left all behind me to follow the path
Untrodden for ages by none but the gods
Runes shall ye know on untrodden ways
Know how to scratch know how to grasp
Few only know what othin obtained
Runes shall ye know on untrodden ways
Know how to round and how to attain
Few only know whom freya will chose
The bridge lies ahead know, shining and clear
Bright and golden, the lowlands behind
For i am to walk on the untrodden path
To follow the soundings, to never return
Runes shall ye know on untrodden ways
Know how to throw, know how to read
Few only know how to open the gate
