Mímir’s Price

Story

"One eye lost… yet I see all." ⚔️

Odin, the relentless seeker of wisdom, rides to Mímir’s Well, the sacred source of knowledge hidden beneath the roots of Yggdrasil. But wisdom is never free. To drink from its waters and gain the sight of gods, he must make the ultimate sacrifice—his own eye. In this moment, Odin embraces both knowledge and doom, seeing the fate of gods, the coming of Ragnarök, and the price all must pay for truth.

"Mímir’s Price" captures this legendary sacrifice in a crushing storm of thunderous riffs, battle hymns, and dark choirs, summoning the very essence of Norse myth and epic metal. This is the tale of the Wanderer, the One-Eyed King, the Lord of Ravens. This is Odin’s fate.

Lyrics

Mímir’s Price

Through the mist where the old gods dwell,
I ride alone to the wisdom well.
Waters whisper, cold and deep,
Secrets lost in the dark they keep.

One eye open, one eye blind,
Truth is cruel, but fate unkind.

I drink the price of endless sight,
A sacrifice to kill the night.
Mímir speaks, the echoes call,
One eye lost—I see it all!

The well reflects a shattered soul,
A king who walks the path of woe.
No turning back, no last goodbye,
The cost of knowing is to die.

One eye open, one eye blind,
Truth is cruel, but fate unkind.

I drink the price of endless sight,
A sacrifice to kill the night.
Mímir speaks, the echoes call,
One eye lost—I see it all!

Runes are carved in blood and stone,
The fate of gods remains unknown.
Stormwinds rise, the crows still cry,
One eye watches as worlds collide.

The waters turn as shadows fall,
One eye lost… yet I see all.
