[Intro: Spoken, chant, invocation]
I am the Immortal Skald, Vitki, and Erilaz.
I summon the wisdom of Odin:
[deep, resonant] ANSUZ!
I summon the calm of the waters:
[deep, resonant] LAGUZ!
I summon the strength of the aurochs:
[deep, resonant] URUZ!
ALU!
ALU!
ALU!
[Verse 1: Dedication and Declaration of Intent]
I lift my horn to the fallen.
The brave who lost their fight.
Journey now to Valhalla,
Symbel at the feast tonight!
Odin, the All-Father and One-Eyed Wise,
Called “ergi” for crossing the norm.
Even Thor once wore a dís-guise.
And Loki is Loki, as fluid as the storm.
Bifröst to Asgård all rainbowed-hue,
Protect trans youth I vow to you.
[Chorus: Deep, resonating rhythmic chant]
ALU![x3]
ALU![x3]
ALU![x3]
[Bridge: Spoken, Somber and Reflective]
My trans siblings everywhere,
Your fight is no less valid,
Just because it is against the world.
[Verse 2: Call to Action]
Courage to stand for what is right.
Living your Truth is always brave.
For Honor we avenge their plight.
Fidelity to those driven to an early grave.
Discipline to stay the course,
Open doors of Hospitality.
Rise each day, Industrious,
Reliance on one’s self and your duality.
Each day we stand is a testament
To our Perseverance, not an estimate.
[Chorus: Deep, resonating rhythmic chant]
ALU![x3]
ALU![x3]
ALU![x3]
[Outro: Spoken, chant, invocation. Sealing the power.]
I am the Immortal Skald, Vitki, and Erilaz.
By ANSUZ, the wisdom of Odin,
By LAGUZ, the calm of the waters,
By URUZ, the strength of the aurochs,
I seal this spell:
ALU!
ALU!
ALU!
