Vali - Veil of the Ancient Wisdom

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the twilight's embrace, where secrets dwell, Odin sets forth, through mist and spell. Seeking the hall where ancient silence lies, Vafthrúdnir waits, wisdom's formidable guise. A game of minds, under the watchful eyes of fate, Each question posed, each answer a gate To worlds unknown, and mysteries untold, A duel of wits, bold against the old. [Pre-Chorus] In the heart of night, where shadows play, Odin and the giant, their minds at bay. A quest for truth, through the veil of time, Each word a step, each verse a climb. [Chorus] Echoes of the past, in the whisper of the wind, Where the line of gods and giants thinned. A tapestry of fate, woven in the hall of strife, Seeking the threads of creation and life. [Verse 2] From the first dawn of light, to the dark of the void, From the birth of the gods, to the worlds destroyed. Odin probes the depths of Vafthrúdnir's mind, Seeking answers only the brave can find. The origins of earth, the rise of the sun, The doom of the gods, when Ragnarök comes. Each tale a lesson, a mark on the stone, A history written, a future sown. [Pre-Chorus] As the night deepens, their battle rages on, Two titans under the eternal dawn. In their quest for knowledge, where the hidden truth resides, In the heart of the storm, where the old wisdom hides. [Chorus] Echoes of the past, in the whisper of the wind, Where the line of gods and giants thinned. A tapestry of fate, woven in the hall of strife, Seeking the threads of creation and life. [Bridge] In the silence that followed, a truth laid bare, Odin's quest complete, Vafthrúdnir's stare. A sacrifice of wisdom, the cost of the lore, The paths of the future, unlocked by the lore. [Chorus] Echoes of the past, in the whisper of the wind, Where the line of gods and giants thinned. A tapestry of fate, woven in the hall of strife, Seeking the threads of creation and life. [Outro] As dawn breaks the shadow, the echoes fade to light, The ballad of Vafthrúdnir, a memory of the night. In the heart of the North, where the cold winds sigh, The whispers of the ancient, under the timeless sky.
