Story behind the song

Phil wrote what turned into the lyrics for this song as a poem, back in 1993. It's in the voice of the Norse God Odin, exhorting all who know him to rise to their highest state, not as a slave to him, but as their own person, their own god.

Lyrics

Ascend

Verse 1

I know the wind, whose voice it is, 
And wheresoever, it will blow, 
All seas I know, all earth below, 
On eight legs, hence I aways go

Chorus

Ascend, ascend, by will, 
That highest tree, 
And be, the one, 
No slave, no slave to me

Verse 2

From fire and ice, to dewdrop's glow
Beginnings breath, to fire's demise, 
I choose the slain, to lay with Hel,
Or drink in halls, where good men rise 

Chorus

Ascend, ascend, by will, 
That highest tree, 
And be, the one, 
No slave, no slave to me

Verse 3

I have the birds, that are the night, 
That speak to me, in both ears, 
With one ear, I hear that which was
The other, that which is yet to be

Chorus

Ascend, ascend, by will, 
That highest tree, 
And be, the one, 
No slave, no slave to me

Verse 4

The triumph of, the racing tide, 
Upon the shores, where dead men ride, 
Will seal our bargains, clothed in red, 
Upon our never, ending bed

Chorus

Ascend, ascend, by will, 
That highest tree, 
And be, the one, 
No slave, no slave to me
