Cover art for Northern Doom lyrics by Eternal Tears of Sorrow

this song is somewhat remeniscent of a self-sacrifice story. it reminds me of the story where Odin hangs himself on Ygdrasil with a spear gashing his side, in order to gain the wisdom of the runes. the edda which i refer to is called "The Speech of the High One."
