Son of the Staves of Time Lyrics

Tidesson…
Son of the Staves of time
Tidesson…
Tell us the secret rhyme
Byrger Tidesson
You investigate
Runic alphabet
And you innovate
Every stave of runes, all the secret signs
Ascending Tidher
Sign of inventor Idher
Byrger Tidesson
Foremost magistrate
Armed from ancient time
With arrows of fate
I’m your follower until heaven’s gate
Ascending Tidher
Sign of inventor Idher
Byrger Tidesson
From the ancient time – ascending
Runic ancestor
The last of your line
Tidesson…
Son of the Staves oh time
Tidesson…
Tells us the secret rhyme
Magistrate Tidesson
Secret King Tidesson
Ascending Tidher
Inventor Idher
Byrger Tidesson
You’re descending from Odin, Thor and Frey
Tetragrammaton
From Tiundaland
Your Notarikon
Tidesson…
Son of the Staves of Time
Tidesson…
Tell us the secret rhyme
Tidesson…
Son of the Staves of Time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is on Birger Tidesson (=Timeson), a semi-legendary researcher of runic alphabet.

I may be wrong but I don't think he's singing "...until heaven's gate". This would not make sense. It's a song about runes, nothing to do with Christianity.

I think he's singing "...until Hel's gate" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(being) ). Unfortunately in the video you don't see his lips to this so you can't tell from reading them.

Does anyone have references to further information on "Birger Tidesson" as Gareth Beaumain posted?
