Ratatosk

In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr (Old Norse, generally considered to mean "drill-tooth" or "bore-tooth") is a squirrel who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between the eagles perched atop Yggdrasil, and the serpent Níðhöggr, who dwells beneath one of the three roots of the tree. Ratatoskr is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. more »

If you asked me my biggest mistake, it's every day of the last decade
Bound and press-ganged to distant lands, to barrenness I could not understand
Unmanned outposts all in disarray... what a way to spend Christmas day
All of those things that are dear to me are nowhere to be found 
But I am here, alone in the woods and desperate moods
Because you're irresistible now you're gone
Solitude makes your behaviour turn: burning down trees just for fun
Taking shots at things that do not move, swear at the sky and curse the moon
I'll still watch for my fellow man, and I'll open fire at my own command
I will watch for another ten years - oh how I long to go home! 
But I am here, alone in the woods and desperate moods
Because you're irresistible... now you're here! Do my eyes deceive? 
But I do believe that you're irresistible now you're here
And it feels so great to hallucinate, because you're irresistible now... you're... gone
I could just about make you out through the haze
And there you stood: flanked by crepuscular rays
Then you disappeared and all returned to silence 
It looked like a miracle, but it was just science
