The Runes are a bit more than just an alphabet. They are use as such yes, but each one was also believed to have spiritual/magical properties and were often used as charms/amulets/etc and for divination. The Berkanan rune might be used in some manner by someone hoping for a fruitful harvest or success in a business venture, or even by a husband and wife hoping to conceive. A warrior, on the other hand, might have inscribed the Tiwaz rune into his weapon. Those are a couple of examples.
The song is called "From Where It's Root Run".

Maybe it's just me or how they're stretching out each rune, but it sounds like there should be something between Laguz and Ingwaz.
