Āwæcnian from Wurdiz by Sowulo

''Wurdiz, the proto-germanic word for destiny, is all about the dance between fate and free will.

With these songs I intentionally connect to fate and let her initiate me to become a weaver of my own destiny. 
This album is all about relating to fate as the unfolding turning of events. It is the journey of becoming aware of my threads within the tapestry of life.

These compositions express that ‘the mind’ sometimes thinks it can resist or oppose fate,  but instead it has to yield and stand strong together with her.

I let go of my skin, so that fate can carve the truth in my bones.
The truth that was before, that now is and that which will come to be.
 I challenge you to do the same.''

Lyrics

 · Āwæcnian ·

Hweorfan intō þā lǣrnesse 
āsweltan is tō ālǣtanne

Wandrian intō þā ǣmtiġnesse
āsteorfan is tō alȳsanne

āfeallan, āhrēosan, āġēomrian, āweorþan
āwreccan, āwunian, aliefan, āwæcnian

   ————

· To Awaken ·  

To roam into the void 
To die is to let go

To wander into the emptiness
To die is to liberate

To fall, to be destroyed, to grieve, to cease to be, 
To arise, to remain, to surrender, to waken
