The Songbook of the North
“I ween that I hung on the windy tree, hung there for nights full nine; with the spear I was wounded, and offered I was to Othin, myself to myself.”
Hávamál 139 · The Poetic Edda, Bellows translationThis is the complete songbook of Mythic Harmonies: every song we have recorded, gathered in one place with its lyrics. Most use stylised Nordic-language lyrics informed by medieval Old Norse sources, while some are sung directly in English. Each entry identifies its language and provides an English translation or adaptation so that you can follow the words alongside the recording. Open any title to read the opening verses, see the rune the song carries and why, then follow the link through to its full lyrics, its story and the recording itself. Whether you came for the battle hymns, the laments, the songs of the gods or the songs of the sea, the whole catalogue is below, sorted by mood and searchable by any word.

Frequently Asked Questions
What language are Mythic Harmonies songs sung in?
Most songs use stylised Nordic-language lyrics informed by medieval Old Norse sources; some are sung directly in English. Each entry identifies its language and provides an English translation or adaptation. Because newly composed lyrics require creative choices, the site distinguishes linguistic inspiration from an academically verified historical text.
Are these real Old Norse lyrics?
They are modern compositions, not surviving Viking Age songs. Most use stylised Nordic-language lyrics informed by Old Norse vocabulary, poetry, and dictionaries; some are sung directly in English. Because newly composed lines require interpretation, Mythic Harmonies does not present every lyric as an academically verified specimen of historical Old Norse. Each entry states its language and translation status.
Can I sing or cover these songs?
Singing them for yourself, your group or your reenactment is welcome, and the lyrics on each song page are there to be used. For anything published or monetised, including videos, streams and recordings, please get in touch first so that credit and permissions can be agreed properly.
What do the runes next to each song mean?
Each song carries one rune of the Elder Futhark, chosen for what the song is about: Uruz for the wolf songs, Isa for winter, Othala for oaths, Tiwaz for battle. The rune is a reading key rather than a translation, and every entry explains in one line why that rune was given.
Every song above lives in the full music catalog, with streaming links for every platform. And when you know what the staves mean, draw your own daily rune with the Viking Saga rune oracle.
