The terrible one of the Aesir, and looked into her eyes

I know, Odin, where you hid your eye..."

⚡ VÖLVA & NORSE MYTHOLOGY:
A völva was a powerful female seer in Norse society who practiced seidr (magic) and could see past, present, and future. The most famous völva appears in the Völuspá (Prophecy of the Seeress), one of the most important poems in Norse mythology, where she foretells Ragnarök to Odin. This song is inspired by that ancient tale.

📜 LYRICS (Old Norse):
[Verse]
Ein sat hon úti
Þá er inn aldni kom
Yggjungr ása
Og í augo leit
Hvers fregnið mik?
Hví freistið mín?
Veit ek, Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt

[Chorus]
Völva grætur
Völva grætur
Völva grætur
Völva grætur
Völva grætur
