The Wyrd Sister
 

This song was based on the tales of the three Nornes who sit beneath Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life and weave the web of our lives. The enchanting book The Way of Wyrd by Brian Bates was also a great source of inspiration.

Dit lied is gebaseerd op de verhalen van de drie Nornen die aan de voet van de Levensboom Yggdrasil het web van ons leven weven. Ook het betoverende boek The Way of Wyrd van Brian Bates was een grote inspiratiebron.

The Wyrd Sister

I follow the stream and catch the dream
To let it travel on the wind.
I reach out my finger
And with every touch
Change the color, change the pattern
Of the Web of Wyrd
Within and without, without and within.

I water the Tree and feed the world
And spin the threads of fate.
I take the reel
And with every turn
Change the color, change the pattern
Of the Web of Wyrd
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within.

I Knower of secrets, Guardian of runes
Weave the fibers of Wyrd.
I’m between the lands and ages
And with every step
Change the color, change the pattern
Of the Web of Wyrd
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within.

I kiss the stars and embrace the moon
And pour the light of the sun.
I pull the nights cover
And with every song
Change the color, change the pattern
Of the Web of Wyrd
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within,
Within and without, without and within.
