upon having wondered what Odin could possibly be thinking hanging upside down on the World Tree, and if it was really worth it

lyrics

The Trouble I’m In

I have been blooded and I have been bled - Danced with Valkyrie and drunk with the dead
I have held every star like a shard, bright reward ‘neath my skin

I have slept at the crossroads and parted the veils - I have angered the gods and been run out of Hel
I have kissed the bright Goddess and I swear to you that was no sin
And nothing compared to right now – to the trouble I’m in

I have been sainted and I have been stained - I have been ecstasy and I have brought pain
I have wrestled the giants – done whatever it takes for the win

I have burned in the fire, I have drowned in the deep - I have painted the clouds and tied stones to my feet
I have made this fool’s journey over and over again
And nothing compares to right now – to the trouble I’m in

The gods of the harvest are walkin’ my way
Sickles and scythes in hand
They want to know what I’ve done with my time
And this time they’re takin’ me in

Now I am broken and now I am bound - My feet are skyward, my blood soaks the ground
My soul, it is sacred, and everything else is just skin

There is no bounty, there is no reward - I’ll find my way home, or I’ll find the sword
These gods they are silent and naked except for their grins
I’m beginning to understand the trouble I’m in

Bleed – ‘til there is nothing left of me
Breathe – the letters written in the leaves
Read – the words now drifting on the wind
A gift of life for the gift to know myself ... that’s the trouble I’m in

The gods of the harvest they stand in my way
Bolines and blades all around
The trouble I’m tied to – roots deep in the world
And now they are cuttin’ me down

I am the shadow and I am the shade
I’ve been fast asleep and now I’m awake
And all of creation has opened its eyes to begin
Beginning to understand the trouble we’re in
