[Verse 1] The sun hangs low — the long night calls Frost in the fields, fire in our lungs We carve our names in ash and flame To stand unbent where shadows come [Pre-Chorus] Hear them now — the ones before In breath and bone, they walk once more Ljós í myrkri (Light in the darkness) [Chorus] Raise the fire — stand as one This is the turning of the year From ash to spark, from dark to dawn We face the night — no fear Hei — the wheel still turns Ho — the cold won’t hold We are here, we are whole At the edge of the winter soul Við stöndum saman (We stand together) [Verse 2] Roots sleep deep beneath the snow But earth remembers how to rise What falls away makes room to grow No end is true — it only shifts its side [Pre-Chorus] Blood and breath — borrowed flame We speak the lost, we speak their names Endir er upphaf (An ending is a beginning) [Chorus] Raise the fire — stand as one This is the turning of the year From ash to spark, from dark to dawn We face the night — no fear Hei — the wheel still turns Ho — the cold won’t hold We are here, we are whole At the edge of the winter soul Kuldinn heldur ekki (The cold will not hold) [Bridge] Fire — frost Bone — seed What was lost Feeds what we need Eldur lifir (Fire lives) Hei — hei — stand Við stöndum saman (We stand together) Sól mun rísa (The sun will rise) [Final Chorus] Raise the fire — hear the drums The longest night is almost done From death to life, from life we go Bound by blood, by flame, by snow [Outro] Sól mun rísa (The sun will rise) Ljós í myrkri (Light in the darkness) Hei — the sun returns Ho — we stand as one
