Three Pillars

He is old, though mighty one

Carving stories into stones

Beard silver shining

Bones burning frost

He lived and fought for ages – full of hardship like the deep below

he searched for freedom and the youth flew away

Eagle brought him freedom and now peace is in his soul

The third pillar – privileged mind – gods let him know

Bones cracking like a helmet, when the arms started to shake

Now seeing the pageant, he threw his sword into the lake

When he was young he was gifted with the pillar – strength

With this pillar he smashed through the battles - fighting like a bear

And it brought him new desire, to run over the fields

To ask gods if like themselves, he could now be free

Gods told him: be steady and be just like a wolf

Build another second pillar, sail out of our gulf

When ship cracks like a helmet, then fortify your soul

Sharpen your mind like a blade, wisdom is your sword

He´s been living and sailing for ages – dark like the deep below

Searching for the wisdom, while the youth was flowing away

As a demigod now he is free
