Lyrics:
Wounded
I hung on a wind-swept gallows
For nights all of nine
Pierced by a spear
Odin
Offered myself to myself
Wisest know not
From whence spring the roots

I pledged to Odin
A hanged mans gift

Saw him hang nine days and nights
Pain did blind his sacrifice
More dead than alive
Carve the runes the dead to speak
Enlight the strong desert the weak
The wyrd of the dead

Suffer
A sacrifice so profound
They gave no bread
They gave no mead
Peered down
I grasped the runes screaming of need
I took them
From that tree I fell

I pledged to Odin
A hanged mans gift

Saw him hang nine days and nights
Pain did blind his sacrifice
More dead than alive
Carve the runes the dead to speak
Enlight the strong desert the weak
The wyrd of the dead

[lordandrelol]

the best viking metal is still ensiferum and amon amarth

[KKarron]

They're great, but I have a personal preference for Einherjer. :)

[PrXy]

ensiferum and amon amarth are not viking metal.

ensiferum is folk

and amon amarth melodic death with viking based lyrics.

[Xardueth]

Oh yes, this would have to be one of my favourite Viking Metal bands.

[williamscottpearce]

stay still,,, this won't hurt you,,, much

[UIFRINN]

@PrXy amon amarth isnt even pagan, they are atheists

[kirlianphotography]

i don't like the new einherjer, old stuff is better

[emperor1994]

amon kinda bugs me since they ve gone mainstream

[rogerthat155]

[rhyno2222]
