Summary: Tollund Man is somebody who was found very well preserved in a Tollund bog. He was found with a noose around his neck and it was evident he had been hung. He lived over 2000 years ago.




As I lie in this earth
My lifetimes they pass by
I listen to the centuries collide
In my peaceful slumber

Some distant day since I swung
I felt air upon my skin again
Ripped from my bed
And taken far away
My examination sickens me

Though I feel so disturbed
I have heard them speak
For once those millenia ago
I hung for unspoken deeds
Now I am known, and finally
I am special.
