[Intro — solo low female clean voice, unaccompanied; plaintive Slavic folk-inspired melody, long vowels and expressive ornaments; exactly two vocal lines with no instruments, percussion, drones or backing vocals] Aelruna sael, naevara sa draun. Maeritha en, shaelira kelrun. [Instrumental Entrance — acoustic balalaika introduces the main motif alone with bright plucked notes and tremolo; distorted bass, downtuned guitars and live drums then crash in; balalaika remains prominent] [Verse 1 — rapid female rhythmic recitative; low smoky chest rasp, dense clipped phrases and crisp consonants over a straight 4/4 groove] Kaen sa thessun, skar sa vel, drae sa kald vor. En ren nævitha sael a en sa draal, sa mor. Thu ren orritha thaen, thu ren kaelvanna en. No khaem sa kelthir, no þesk sa dhaerun. En ren ossara mael, en ren shaelira vaern. Sael no mauretha sa hál, sael no kald sa kaern. [Transition — last syllable stutters against muted balalaika strikes; reversed metallic swell, full-band chorus entrance] [Chorus — powerful husky female clean singing; broad Slavic folk-inspired melody, deep female growled responses, balalaika answering each phrase] Kelrun a vaern — orritha hál! Haelvanna haerven, kaeritha vaal! Kelrun a vaern — saelruna nae! Em ul no osh — em ul kaeritha vae! [Transition — guitars drop out while balalaika keeps a dry percussive pattern; distorted bass slides down and drums switch to half-time] [Verse 2 — aggressive double-time female recitative over crushing half-time drums; coarse rasp, tightly packed words, harsh accents] Veyr sa veld, hrím sa skeld, mor sa kraen a kaal. En no nævitha kelrun, en no torvanna hál. Thu við en, im við em — haerven sa orrun. No vrek vaern, no vrek sael, no khaemira kelrun. Em ul drethara þesk, em ul kraeshira torven. Em ul nae saelruna sa veld, sa hál, sa morven. [Transition — abrupt full-band stop; one balalaika tremolo remains, gradually thinning to separate plucked notes] [Bridge — intimate smoky female clean singing; short melodic phrases, sparse balalaika and low bass] Maeritha kaen. No ossara vaern. Vaelritha vel. Nae aevruna en. [Solo — amplified balalaika lead; rapid tremolo, nimble picked runs, ringing chords and sharp rhythmic strums; the main motif develops into climbing variations over heavy rhythm guitars and live drums; balalaika clearly in front] [Transition — final balalaika run is chopped into accelerating digital fragments; one beat of silence] [Dubstep Breakdown — one short eight-bar section; distorted formant bass trades phrases with jagged guitar stabs and chopped balalaika attacks over massive half-time drums; metallic percussion and abrupt rhythmic gaps, no new lyrics] [Transition — electronic bass cuts off mid-growl; a dry balalaika rake and snare flam launch the final chorus] [Final Chorus — explosive full-band return; powerful smoky female clean lead layered with deep growls and cutting screams, prominent balalaika countermelody] Kelrun a vaern — orritha hál! Haelvanna haerven, kaeritha vaal! Kelrun a vaern — saelruna nae! Em ul no osh — em ul kaeritha vae! [Outro — balalaika plays the opening vocal melody over broken guitar-and-drum strikes; electronics stop, final ringing balalaika chord is sharply damped with the last full-band impact, hard cut]
