The lyrics of Heilung's song "Alfadhirhaiti" are primarily a collection of ancient Norse names and words, meant to evoke the power and energy of the gods and spirits of Norse mythology. "Alfadhir" is one of the names for the high god Odin, and "haiti" means "name." The opening lines reference several other gods and figures, including Draupnir (a magical ring), Geri and Freki (Odin's wolves), Sleipnir (Odin's horse), and Gungnir (Odin's spear). The following lines are mostly lists of other names and titles of various gods and spirits, including Fimbulthulur, Ulfroegni, Grimnir, and Njolstapi. The overall effect of the song is to create a sense of awe and reverence for the gods and spirits of Norse mythology. The repeated use of these names and titles is meant to invoke their power and presence, and to draw the listener into a deeper understanding of their significance in ancient Norse culture.
