The Wanderer
Fenrir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And gossips from the North Land
I'm the Wanderer
The Elder
As Earth was young I was alone
Humans were like larvae in the ground
Ymir's sons ruled the world
Tales, songs, I'm the Wanderer
Ases, Vanes, I am your keeper
Mist, fog, the Storyteller
Dawn, dust, I am your father
Travelling, whispering, crying alone
Bewitching, enchanting, the Wanderer
For six thousand years I dwelt here
In the darkness I carry the light
Travelling, whispering, laughing alone
Bewitching, protecting, storyteller
Gods of North, I'm your servant
Men of faith, hear my tale to the end
Tales, songs, I'm the Wanderer
Ases, vanes, I am your keeper
Mist, fog, the Storyteller
Dawn, dust, I am your father
Travelling, whispering, living alone
Bewitching, muttering words of wisdom
I'm echoing the words of old gods
I'm your fathers' voice, the wanderer
Travelling, whispering, dying alone
Bewitching, slaughtering, the Wanderer

The lyrics begin with the character stating that he hears whispers from the East and gossip from the North land.

The Wanderer's journey is described as traveling, whispering, crying, bewitching, chanting, and enchanting. He has dwelt amongst humans for so long, he carries the light in the darkness. He is the protector and storyteller of men, and the servant of the gods of the North. He mutters words of wisdom, echoing the words of old gods and the voice of fathers.
