Ancient Myths and Legends

It seems for many years
I've traveled this very world
Even though i remain immortal
My mind has become tired
I wish to remain at home
But there's still a part of me
That keeps wanting to see
Every aspect of the world

I set out for one last journey
Through mountains and ice cold winds
Overcoming the snow storms
Finding the one they call
The ancient well of Mimir
I was unaware of the price
That I was needed to pay
For it was a very costly price

Through stone paths and rain
I finally come to the place
Guarded by the mighty giant
I offer to him my right eye
Looking into the waters
I kneel down before them
Cupping my hands together
And drink from the well of wisdom

I obtain all the wisdom one can have
But see nothing but sorrow and grief
Pain and suffering, war and famine
Even though I've obtained the power
I feel too weak to help
Too apathetic to care
So now until my time is over
I shall only watch from above
