Earthen Vessels - “Once”

A spirit moving song written with Old Norse intermingled. Lyrics are original, composing and sound via applications. ONCE Áðr nafn var, var önd. Áðr nafn var, var önd. Before there was a name, there was spirit. Once you had no name, not yet spoken, not yet claimed. Once you stepped through the veil like many times before Becoming to be Coming to see [Chant] Þú varðt Þú varðt You became Þú reist Þú reist You rose Þú kaust Þú kaust You chose Once home was the nether The place where there are no tethers The between of what is and shall be The spark of the all a spirit call [Chant] Þú varðt Þú varðt You became Þú reist Þú reist You rose Þú kaust Þú kaust You chose Once you see what you came here to be Know the spark and know your part What came through has work to do What came through must journey too And when the veil appears once more You will know you’ve crossed before Becoming to be Coming to see Until once more you are free [Chant — building] Þú varðt Þú varðt You became Þú reist Þú reist You rose Þú kaust Þú kaust You chose [Quiet — instruments fall away] Áðr nafn var, var önd. Áðr nafn var, var önd. Before there was a name, there was spirit. Once you had no name.
