As a hungry wolf with an old man's teeth I run

Freezing cold in caves, forever crushing the sun

The daylight and all time when the weather is clear

I live in night and darkness, that's why I'm still here

Iceland was my home with seals in the fjords

My winter's only thought is fleeing from the hordes

They may come anytime to kill me like a dog

Always on guard I pray for another day of fog

As the outlaw am I shout at the mighty Thor

Greatest god of thunder I can't take it anymore

Take me home where smoke rises from the halls

Make me welcome again within the Chieftain's walls

Drown his treacherous wife the adulterous Queen

Who told the King what a rapist I had been

She lied she was wrong she asked me to seduce her

In her games of sex I was bound to be the loser

She harmed her husband's skald, caused the poet's disgrace

Outlawed at Althingi, I can never show my face

At Reykjanes again, lest I want to endure

All the evils she accused me of doing to her

More bone than man, I hail the gods of the North

Avenge my injustices, I beg you to come forth

Misfortune loves both fool and wise

For seven winters I have strayed the land of ice

A master of the word and a man of the sword

Of tongue and steel many times I proved to be lord

Gods of the North, I beg you come forth

More bone than man Odin I hail you

As a slave on the run I must stay out of sight

Allfather make my destiny right

That in none of the worlds whose number is nine

Another innocent must suffer a fate like mine

As the outlaw I am I shout at might Thor

Great god of thunder I can't take it anymore

Take me to Reykjavik where smoke rises from the halls

Make me welcome again within my Chieftain's walls
