Labyrinth
Hagalaz' Runedance Lyrics

The lyrics of Hagalaz' Runedance's song Labyrinth tell a story about a secret place that the singer has discovered in the forest. In this place, the stones stand still as if sleeping and are led by the song of the night. They explore the area and see a tree that catches their attention with its mysterious appearance, and as they hear a whisper in its branches, they look under its stem and begin to dig with their hands. Soon, a creature called the Erdmann crawls out and leads the singer to the labyrinth. The singer is met by forest spirits who awaken with their arrival, questioning if they know the riddle. They are then guided to the stone door that leads to the ancient wisdom that lies within the labyrinth. The singer's spirit is the key to unlocking the door, and they are told that they might remember who they truly are when they return to their dreamscape.

The song's lyrics convey a sense of discovering ancient and hidden knowledge that is found in nature. The images described in the lyrics also symbolize the journey of self-discovery, where one has to dig deep to uncover their true identity. The notion of a labyrinth typically involves a metaphor of ups and downs, twists and turns, and the unknown, and the song's narrator's journey through the labyrinth mirrors these features. It is also evident that the singer's transformation is not only about gaining knowledge but also learning to awaken and communicate with the spirits of the forest.
