Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Yggdrasil lyrics

In the beginning there was the Void, The unending emptiness reigning alone Then the existence could shape new origin, A cosmic sparkle of intimate force It grew and spread, first form of life, What'd become known as the "giant world tree" While all around primal energies formed, The eternal emptiness finally filled Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio Water, ice and storming fire Pulsing heart of all things The new destiny was written Carved in the wise trunk, the secrets of the holy runes Set the fate of Asgard, Hel and Midgard Roots of ancient might, reflected in Valhalla's light Odin's eye, the eagle eye of Yggdrasil He sought for knowledge, immortal truth He walked alone, facing hope, fear and ghosts To where the mist hides the deep astral secrets There where the Nornir control the nine worlds On that high branch his sacrifice Flesh of the gods ripped for nine days and nights The naked spirit as his final offer While the dark waters reflected pure light Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio Ex nilo Niflheim, ex nilo Muspellheim Ad omnium Ymir, nova creatio Greatly enflamed by runic power Shine the lights of Bifrost In Odin's wounds the key of wisdom Carved in the wise trunk, the secrets of the holy runes Set the fate of Asgard, Hel and Midgard Roots of ancient might, reflected in Valhalla's light Odin's eye, the eagle eye of Yggdrasil Yggdrasil Greatly enflamed by runic power Shine the lights of Bifrost Alte in core lapidis est intima sapientia Carved in the wise trunk, the secrets of the holy runes Set the fate of Asgard, Hel and Midgard Roots of ancient might, reflected in Valhalla's ligh Odin's eye, the eagle eye of Yggdrasil Carved in the wise trunk, the secrets of the holy runes Set the fate of Asgard, Hel and Midgard Roots of ancient might, reflected in Valhalla's light Odin's eye, the eagle eye of Yggdrasil Carved in the wise trunk, the secrets of the holy runes Set the fate of Asgard, Hel and Midgard Roots of ancient might, reflected in Valhalla's light Odin's eye, the eagle eye of Yggdrasil
