(sung rapidly)
The view from above has a start and an end,
from the dragon your enemy, eagle your friend,
and that distance is traveled again and again
by that greatest of all the gods, Ratatosk!
The Aesir and Vanir, the Jotuns and trolls,
the heroes of men and their epics so bold,
and all of the battles the Seeress foretold
play a weak second fiddle to Ratatosk!
For the keepers of secrets are cruelly perverse,
like the giants who bargain and witches who curse,
and the stories they share are unhelpfully terse
when compared to the epics of Ratatosk!
So stand, noble supplicant, stand and be awed
by a song of adventure, of lovers abroad,
full of action! Excitement! And told by the god
who is Lord of the Universe, Ratatosk!
