[Intro — solitary amplified violin, scratchy low-register motif; reversed bow noise swells into downtuned guitars and live drums] [Verse 1 — low smoky female clean voice over a tense bass groove; deep growls enter halfway through] Hrím sa orrun, mor sa hál, Vaer morvaen morvanna sa skaal. En maeritha kaen a mauren, Veyr veyritha æskara sauren. [Transition — last vocal vowel freezes into granular noise; a dry snare crack opens the mix into wide guitars] [Chorus — powerful husky female clean singing; dark sustained hook, low female growled responses] Járnara nareth — kaeritha vaal! Hrís, kaerunna, sa æskara hál! Járnara nareth — no ossara skeld! Em ul thraevanna sa skauritha veld! [Transition — violin harmonic bends downward; guitar delay chops into a tight stuttering pulse] [Verse 2 — deep female growls alternating with cutting screams; crushing syncopated guitars] Járnara torven, krenna kauren, En no osvitha kaen a mauren. Þaurn dhaelvanna skeld a en, En kraeshira torven — en no osh! [Transition — guitars choke off; drums lock into a straight 4/4 backbeat, dry distorted bass carries the rhythm] [Bridge — eight long lines of rapid female rhythmic recitative; aggressive double-time rap delivery, low chest rasp, precise percussive consonants, short breaths at commas; steady tempo, increasingly forceful delivery] En ren maeritha kaen a mauren sa kald nátt, en ren kaeritha draevith sa naal. En ren orvanna sa æskara veld við krenna skeld, en ren no ossara járnara nareth. Im ren torvanna orrun a hál, im ren moritha thessun, im ren kraeshira vaelun. Em ul orritha orrun við járn, em ul draevira draeven, em ul saevritha haerven. Kaelvanna kelrun a mauren, maeritha nareth a vaern, no osvitha skaar a vel. Vrekka torven, oskara mevrin, haelvanna skeldara sa veld, kaervanna kaerith a kael. Æskara veyr veyritha sauren, þauritha hrann dhaelvanna kauren, morvaen morvanna sa velrun. Em no draunetha, em no osh, em ul thraevanna sa nátt, em ul kaeritha vaal. [Transition — final syllable loops in accelerating stereo fragments; one beat of silence] [Dubstep Breakdown — one short eight-bar section; distorted formant bass and metallic percussion trade phrases with guitar stabs over half-time drums; no new lyrics] [Transition — electronic bass pitch-dives and cuts out; a dry violin bow attack launches the solo] [Solo — amplified violin lead; fierce rapid bowing, gritty double-stops, expressive slides and climbing modal runs over heavy rhythm guitars, bass and live drums; violin remains clearly in front] [Transition — violin holds a piercing high harmonic while the band drops out; reverse reverb pulls into the final chorus] [Chorus — explosive full-band return; smoky female clean lead layered with deep growls and cutting screams, violin countermelody] Járnara nareth — kaeritha vaal! Hrís, kaerunna, sa æskara hál! Járnara nareth — no ossara skeld! Em ul thraevanna sa skauritha veld! [Outro — violin reprises the opening motif over jagged guitars and broken electronic percussion; brief tape-stop on electronics alone, final dry full-band impact, hard cut]
