Yggdrasil, the Norse mythos life tree
Viking people call it Odin's Gallows
For it was there the One Eyed God
Had sacrificed himself by hanging
It has branches reaching skyward
The roots force themselves downward
Driving through bedrock, fire or earth
As every plane of existence is touched
The Gods dwell there, and they coexist
Humans, mythic beings, and celestials
Praised by all, this was a sacred tree
The exalted home for all existence
Yggdrasil was the divine being
The living tree of all eternity
