The Tree of Life

Lyrics: Joel Martins Music: Joel Martins Beneath its roots Along the branches Life blooms Linked by the bifrost Nine worlds endure Yggdrasil stands By urd's will gods gather daily Not too far from asgard beholding their realm Meanwhile nifhogg gnaws the roots of all extent Adverse is the eagle on top of the mighty tree Ratatose the squirrel hastes up and down Through all the length of the colossal ash tree Bearing words of spiteful nature Betwen the eagle and nidhogg the snake Hanging on roots Along the branches Life blooms Linked by the bifrost Nine worlds endure Yggdrasil stands Hanging on a branch through nine days and nights Oden took his life for death does not fright Wind blows the leaves for the eagle flaps his wings The aesir feel their grief for allfather's death As the leaves hold the power to restore all life Open rises from the dead gaining holy wisdom An ash I know there stands Yggdrasil is its name A tall tree showered with shining loam From there come the dews that drop in the valleys It stands forever green overs urd's well Beneath its roots Along the branches Life blooms Linked by the bifrost Nine worlds endure Yggdrasil stands
