The Summoning/Troll by Troll (OR) Lyrics
And so the Wizard Invoked:
I Call Today Upon The Strength of Heaven
Light of The Sun
Radiance of the Moon
Splendor of Fire
Speed of Lightning
Swiftness of Wind
Depth of Sea
Stability of Earth
And the Firmness
Of Stone…
Swallower of the heaven-wheel*
Can’t you see, can’t you feel
I’m alive
Sunshine be my bane
Bind me to this earth again
Under mushroom root I have lain
Now I reanimate from this slime
Right on time…
Destroyer of the storm sun
Bind us to the black again
Make us believe you
As the thunder rolls in closer
To our door
Wizard’s teeth gleam bright
In the dying forest light
Golden staff and necklace jingle-jangle
Behold the abomination born
Son of none
Lightning flash
Thunder roar
And nothing more
Swallower of the heaven-wheel
Can’t you see, can’t you feel
I’m alive
Go do your worst
Find the witch
Before the flood comes
Now, Troll, go do your worst
Before the flood comes washing down
*Prose Edda (13th Century Icelandic text)
