Veyð A Morith

V6

[Intro — industrial noise glitches, a crooked modal motif; intense deep bass, followed by a dry swung trip-hop breakbeat; no vocals] [Opening Vocal Motif — low smoky female clean voice, close and calm; sparse bass and percussion] No veyðruna morith. Morith veyðruna thu. [Verse 1 — intimate female talk-sing, coarse chest rasp and audible vocal creak; muted guitar fragments and a restrained broken beat] Thu torvanna thaen sa nátt. Thu khaemira kaen a en. Myr orvanna sa krenna hál. En naevira sa morvitha thae. Kelrun a thu ren saevruna en. Kelthun a thu nae mevranna thren. En no kelsha, en no draun. En morith sa velthir a thu. [Electronic Interlude — the hurdy-gurdy motif becomes a chopped rhythmic loop; distorted sub-bass answers each fragment] [Short Dubstep Breakdown — heavy bass growls and fractured drums, brief metallic impacts; the last bass note cuts abruptly] [Verse 2 — first two lines sung over bass alone; the slow trip-hop beat gradually returns, hurdy-gurdy answers between phrases] Thu orvanna sa hrá veld. En veyðruna drel a thu. Aelruna veyr saelruna sa nátt. Raevun aevruna sa kraen a keld. Thu no shaelira kelrun a en. Thu shaelira vaesh sa velrun. En skeldruna vaelith a thu. En kaervitha thraat a en. [Bridge — eight long lines of rapid female rhythmic recitative; double-time delivery over a slow steady breakbeat, low smoky chest register, precise consonants and short breaths; sixteen bars, tension rises through vocal rhythm] Thu ren torvanna thaen sa nátt, en ren orvanna sa draun a thu. Thu ren khaemira kaen a en, en ren maeritha kelthun a thu. Thu ren kaeritha draevith sa naal, en ren skeldruna vael sa kald veyr. Thu ren osvitha naevora hál, en ren veyðruna drel sa æskara veld. En no draen sa fjarn, en no kelsha sa keld, en no saen sa hál. En morith sa velthir a thu, en thren sa dhaerun, en myr sa kelthun. Kelruna við en sa nátt, no torvanna thaen, no khaemira kelrun a thu. Thu ul shaelira vaesh a en, thu ul aevruna, thu ul nae saevanna. [Sudden Stop — all instruments and effects cut completely] [Unaccompanied Vocal — a low female growl answers a husky clean voice] No veyðruna morith. Morith veyðruna thu. [Extended Hurdy-Gurdy Solo — full-band entrance; gritty amplified wheel-bowed lead, climbing modal variations and rapid ornaments over massive half-time nu-metal guitars, thick bass and live drums; no lead guitar solo] [Final Vocal Coda — powerful husky female clean singing over the heavy groove; deep female growls beneath the line endings] En no osvitha kaal a thu. En no ossara thren a em. Thu kelruna — en aevruna. Thu saevanna — en naevara. [Brief cutting female scream; one final heavy band accent] Naevara! [Outro — drums, bass and guitars stop; hurdy-gurdy repeats the opening motif quietly beneath a solitary low female voice] No veyðruna morith. Morith veyðruna thu. [Hard Cut — voice and hurdy-gurdy stop together]
