[Intro] (Haunting, breathy male harmonies and low vocal hums) (Slow, heavy thumping of a tribal frame drum) (Mournful tagelharpa melody enters) [Verse 1] (Deep, gravelly baritone vocals - slow and chanted) Winter's breath upon the stone The golden goddess sits alone High above the frozen sea Weeping for what used to be Her lover gone into the night Beyond the reach of mortal sight [Pre-Chorus] (Vocal intensity builds, drums grow heavier) The sky turns grey, the embers die A bitter wind begins to cry From her eyes, the sorrow flows Falling deep into the snows [Chorus] (Epic, powerful clean vocals with massive reverb and wide harmonies) Frozen tears of Freya fall! Echoing through Odin's hall! Turning into amber bright Gleaming in the northern light! A love eternal, carved in stone The weeping goddess on her throne! [Instrumental Break] (Driving, heavy tom-toms and a raw, screeching tagelharpa solo) [Verse 2] (Low, atmospheric chant) Through the nine worlds she will roam To bring the lost wanderer home But the ice is thick, the path is cold The saddest tale that's ever told Each droplet turns to hardened gold [Chorus] (Epic, maximum intensity, doubled vocals) Frozen tears of Freya fall! Echoing through Odin's hall! Turning into amber bright Gleaming in the northern light! A love eternal, carved in stone The weeping goddess on her throne! [Outro] (Music fades out slowly, leaving only the frame drum and a low drone) Gold in the snow... Where the cold winds blow... (Deep, fading vocal hum) (Final, single drum beat) [End]
