[Verse]
D                              B   
He hung on the windswept world tree
Gb                      
Whose roots no one knows
D                                 B      
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
Gb                  
By Gungnir his spear


[Chorus]
D                                   B     
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
Gb               Gbm  
And cried out in agony
D                           B    
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Gb                           Gbm   A
Before falling back from the abyss ■
D                           
He gave himself unto himself
                      Gb   A
In a world of searing pain ■
D                           B    
So that we all may live our lives
       Gbm    Gb      Gbm   
By the wisdom that he gained

[Verse]
                                 Gbm 
You doubted him and spread their lies
                               D   
Across the world with sword in hand
                                  Gbm  
You raped our souls and stole our right
                                  D  
All for the words of mildmannered man
                             Gbm
You listened to mildmannered god
                                D    
And put your faith in deceitful words
                           Gbm  
Your powertrip was paid by blood
                      Gb               
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
Ab7 A B Gb

I refuse to submit to the god you say is kind
  Gb                    Ab7       
I know what's right and it is time
Gbm7                   B        Gb   
It's time to fight and free our minds

[Verse]
D                       B   
Yeah Let me die without fear
          Gb            E 
As I have lived without it
D                                   
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
Gb                       B       
I'm fed up with all your bullshit


[Chorus]
D                         B7        
After a thousand years of oppression
        Gb                 
Let the berserks rise again
E         D                           B   
■ Let the world hear these words once more
Gb                             B      D        Gb
Save us oh Lord from the wrath of the Norsemen ■ 
E         D                           B7  
■ Let the world hear these words once more
                         Gb           D       
Save us oh Lord from the wrath of the Norsemen

    Gbm D Gbm D                                  
Our ■   ■ ■   spirits were forged in snow and ice


[Bridge]
Gbm                                
To bend like steel forged over fire
D                                 
We were not made to bend like reed
Gbm                  D     B Gb
Or to turn the other cheek ■ ■ 


[Chorus]
D                   
He grasped the runes
Gb                    
■  They're ours to use
