Eikthyrnir

Eikþyrnir (Old Norse: [ˈɛikˌθyrnez̠], "oak-thorny") or Eikthyrnir, is a stag which stands upon Valhalla in Norse mythology. The following is related in the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda after the description of Heiðrún. Brodeur follows the text of the T manuscript of the Prose Edda in putting the stag í Valhöll, "in Valhall", rather than á Valhöll, "upon Valhall", as the other manuscripts do. The more recent translation by Anthony Faulkes puts the stag on top of the building, which seems much more natural from the context and weight of the evidence. Snorri's source for this information was almost certainly Grímnismál, where the following strophes are found. more »

Sunshine hides behind the cloud
Away from eyes of man
All beauty lost to endless greed
A plague upon the land

Darkness shines throughout the earth
within the hearts of man
Some shall rise to heed its call
The rest will perish by its hand

Behind their righteousness there lies a secret
The silent temple we will not obey
The path to heaven lies within our madness
The path to freedom is the grave

I see a man from far away
A fire within his soul
A mirror shall reveal his pain
The fire shall lose control

Why have we abandoned her?
Our only sacred home
Hell shall rise upon this earth
The fault shall be our own

Behind their righteousness there lies a secret
The silent temple we will not obey
The path to heaven lies within our madness
The path to freedom is the grave

In the dark, we will see the serpent rising
In our hearts, evil gods will bury you
Demon's mark, on our souls we will be feeding
Satan's harp, as death becomes the final truth

Death has come, to the savior of the hopeless
And the damned, will cast your freedom far beyond
Love will die, by hands of those who lust for power
Lucifer, will laugh upon his holy throne
