So many times have we fallen to the ettin self-doubt And, silently, we suffer the soul-breaking drought Another day gone To face another grey dawn So many times have we fallen to the ettin self-deceit Avoiding truth in our hearts Crawling the road of complacency But when winter makes haste We will steel ourselves to its gaze We will hunt our fears and run them from this place And ettins will crumble before our golden age Wool over wolves’ eyes We stumble through the night As prey of the giants in our minds Wool over wolves’ eyes Beyond our sense of guile The unchecked force of nature Thriving in the wild So many times have I fallen to the ettin self-loathe And I destroy myself Crushed below the weight of judgement’s stone But when winter makes haste We will steel ourselves to its gaze We will hunt our fears and run them from this place And ettins will crumble before our golden age Thurisaz
