V5.5

White wings above the silver crowns,
Where only the free hunters dwell.
Vanyaldir, in the plunge of time,
A fiery heart, ready for the climb.
No golden cage, no ancient law,
Will hold us back, not anymore.

[Verse 1]
In the halls of stone where age commands,
They dictate our paths with iron hands.
They count the years, they measure the tide,
But our hearts have found the world outside.
A century is but a blink in their eye,
While we leave our mark beneath the sky.

[Chorus]
[The atmosphere intensifies with a haunting Nyckelharpa melody and an ethereal female choir backing.]
Nid avgör drak, sîdh vanyal dîn,
Lyis ar' droma, lyis ar' vind.
Tid-shé nar' bindas, i-dath vathr,
Lyis ar' Aufbruch, lyis ar' dath.
Nid vaktar drak, nid valla morth,
I-fyr i'nari brenna forth.

[Verse 2]
Behind walls of gold and crowns of ice,
We paid their silence with a bitter price.
They look down on the courage that wakes,
And fear the fire that the darkness breaks.
But Silla stands up, her eyes are bright,
Her will is iron, her judgment is light.

[Chorus]
Nid avgör drak, sîdh vanyal dîn,
Lyis ar' droma, lyis ar' vind.
Tid-shé nar' bindas, i-dath vathr,
Lyis ar' Aufbruch, lyis ar' dath.
Nid vaktar drak, nid valla morth,
I-fyr i'nari brenna forth.

[Verse 3]
She dances on the wind where the abyss lies,
A shadow drifting through the forest skies.
No arrow as swift as her fleeting flight,
She looks at the palaces from her height.
Allied with falcons, her vision is clear,
She is invisible to those who fear.
What she has caught, she will never let go,
The freedom of heaven – her golden flow.

[Instrumental Break]
[The intensity builds with layered percussion and driving, hypnotic Tagelharpa melodies. The sound of bone flutes mimics the wind and the cry of a falcon. The female choir chants 'Nid avgör' in a trance-like state.]

[Outro]
[The instruments slowly fade, leaving only the sound of a heart-like frame drum and the whistling wind. A final, haunting female throat singing note lingers.]
White wings, a heart of fire,
Vanyaldir, the hunter’s desire.
Gleaming dive, a shadow on the breeze,
Where heaven begins and the spirit finds ease.
She is the cry, she is the run,
Nid avgör drak.
[One final, resonant strike of the frame drum and the distant cry of a falcon bring the song to a close.]

[Intro] [A lonely, high-pitched cry of a falcon pierces the silence. A single, rhythmic beat of a large skin-framed drum begins, fast and steady like a racing heart. Low, guttural female throat singing starts in the background. The rhythmic rattling of deer antlers and dried bones creates a primal, ritualistic atmosphere.] White wings above the silver crowns, Where only the free hunters dwell. Vanyaldir, in the plunge of time, A fiery heart, ready for the climb. No golden cage, no ancient law, Will hold us back, not anymore. [Verse 1] In the halls of stone where age commands, They dictate our paths with iron hands. They count the years, they measure the tide, But our hearts have found the world outside.

[Chorus] [The atmosphere intensifies with a haunting Nyckelharpa melody and an ethereal female choir backing.] Nid avgör drak, sîdh vanyal dîn, Lyis ar' droma, lyis ar' vind.
