So the vision began

And a mighty wind shook the roots of the nine worlds.

The great wolf of the night roused

And a deep slash cracked open the primordial ice.

I saw him coming from the north

The father of all gods Two crows next to him

Two wolves at his sides

In the grey cape wrapped I saw him coming,

With the name of all things in his hand.

He widened the big eye, this he said: WAR!!

I know, for nine whole nights you hung down from the tree

By the mercy of the wind shaken By the spear injured

To Odin sacrificed, Myself to myself

On that tree, of unknown roots, grown

Nor bread nor drinking horn was given

Towards the ground my look I cast

The runes I picked up Shouting I took them

And from up there I fell.

The eye shut itself And from his hand I fell

The human error I understood.

Almost no soul to sustain me

As if an infernal wind wanted

To tear it away from me.

Through the pain I saw and through it I understood

As too great was the Chaos (at the beginning)

Now too great was the order.

The great millstone of the sky

A new circle was about to be prepared.

It was time for war

Next to our fathers we would have fought once again
