[Intro] [Cold wind howling across frozen forests] [Soft female choir rising like moonlight over snow] [Single low drum heartbeat] [Crackling fire] (Ohhhh…) (Ohhhh…) [Verse 1 - soft, intimate, firelit storytelling] The Frostward dark came crawling slow Silver moons on fields of snow And all the roads to Noah’s flame Still whispered softly of his name He built his fires one by one Against the night that feared no sun And every soul the cold would claim He pulled beside the hearth again [Pre-Chorus - swelling strings and choir] But even gods grow tired too… Even flames burn thin… [Chorus - massive, soaring, emotional] VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! She crossed the frost without bowing down Through moonlit storms and beacon fire Into the hall of wolves and pyres VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! The Long Hearth called and named her loud And when the Feast-God closed his eyes She stayed beside the firelight [Post-Chorus Choir] (Hear the wolves sing low…) (Hear the old fire breathe…) (Velara Hearthcrowned…) (Beside the Long Hearth sleep…) [Verse 2 - warmer, emotional storytelling] The queen who ruled from stone and flame Arrived without her throne or chains And in the hall where no one bowed The Frostward fires named her loud Three bitter cups of emberwine Three burning storms of root and pine And Noah’s hand against her spine Like warmth surviving wintertime [Pre-Chorus - drums building stronger] The hall roared wild beneath the beams While old moons watched above And every wolf already knew… This was becoming love [Chorus - bigger, choirs layered heavily] VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! She wore his cloak through all the crowd And every fire inside the hall Burned brighter when she laughed at all VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! Her name now carved in pine and sound And when the Frostward stormwinds screamed The Long Hearth held against the freeze [Bridge - slower, emotional, almost sacred] [Choirs fade softer] [Deep drums like slow heartbeat] And when the Yule fires faded low… The Feast-God finally slept… [Soft female vocal with echo] The wolves lay down beside his feet While snow touched every beam A little child in ember fur Still dreaming by the heat And all through Noah’s Watch that morn The people cleared the snow While over sleeping winter gods The silver moonlight flowed [Instrumental Break - huge guitar solo with choir chants and wolf howls] [Final Chorus - triumphant and bittersweet] VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! Remember how the hall resounded When Frostward gave the queen a name And tied her heart beside the flame VELARAAA! HEARTHCROWNED! The beacon roads still carry sound Of wolves and fire, moons and snow And one warm god who held the cold [Final Outro - slow fading choir and fire] (Hear the Long Hearth breathing…) (Hear the old wolves sing…) (Velara… Velara…) (Hearthcrowned Queen…) [Soft crackling fire] [Distant wolf howl] [Wind fades into silence]
