This song was originally called "Skâldskapr: Hâvamâl, stanza 138-139" and I extracted it from the old Varg channel. Make some small improvements in the audio, but without altering the original version too much. In this wonderful piece, stanzas 138 and 139 of "Hâvamâl" of the poetic Edda are narrated:

Stanza 138. Veit ek, at ek hekk vindga meiði á
nætr allar níu, geiri undaðr
ok gefinn Óðni,
sjalfr sjalfum mér,
á þeim meiði, er manngi veit
hvers af rótum renn.

Stanza 139. Við hleifi mik
sældu né við hornigi;
nýsta ek niðr, nam ek upp rúnar,
æpandi nam, fell ek aftr þaðan.

The art I used for the video is: "Wotan's farewell to Brunnhilde" a watercolor by artist Hermann Hendrich (1856-1931) for The Ring of the Nibelung by Richard Wagner.
