[Intro — gritty hurdy-gurdy melody over distorted electronic pulses; reversed hurdy-gurdy swells into a sudden full-band hit] [Verse 1 — low smoky female clean voice, coarse chest rasp over a tense bass groove] Aevara hrím, velruna skeld, Morvaen a þrauk, saelitha veld. [Deep female growls; heavy guitar accents] Draevanna fjarn, kaeritha thaal, Þreimara vaelun, skeldruna vaal. [Short cutting scream] Hraev a morvaen! [Transition — final scream chopped into a tightening stutter; guitars choke off, a reversed cymbal pulls into the chorus] [Chorus — powerful husky female clean singing; dark sustained melody over heavy syncopated guitars] Thraevanna — aevara ná! Vaelruna skeld, maeritha þrá. Thraevanna — morvaen a thaal! Járn a saelith, kaerunna vaal! [Transition — last vocal vowel stretches into a grainy frozen texture; mix narrows to thin mono, then a descending sub-bass hit opens into wide heavy guitars] [Verse 2 — deep female growls, crushing half-time groove] Hraskara velthun, aelruna kaern, Þauritha draeven, morvanna járn. [Cutting female screams; abrupt guitar stops] Saevruna keldri, fjarnava skaal, Veyð a kaeressa, hraun a thaal. [Low growl over a descending riff] Naevara… skeld a vae! [Transition — guitar riff briefly loops and degrades into bitcrushed clicks; drums stop, exposed hurdy-gurdy picks up the riff and transforms it into a melody] [Solo — amplified hurdy-gurdy lead; winding modal phrases and rapid ornaments; bass and toms enter first, then heavy rhythm guitars and full live drums; distorted electronic bass answers the lead; no lead guitar solo] [Transition — band cuts out under the final hurdy-gurdy note; long reverb tail abruptly gates shut, leaving one dry breath before the bridge] [Bridge — exposed smoky female chest voice; sparse bass and low electronic drone] Æ… vaeranna… Hrím a vel, hrím a vae. Ó… maeritha… Þrauk a sael, þrauk a nae. [Grainy clean voice grows stronger; toms enter] Kelruna nareth, draevira hál. [Deep female growl] Skeldruna — morvaen a thaal! [Transition — the last syllable echoes left and right in accelerating fragments; rising granular noise, rolling toms, one beat of total silence, explosive chorus entrance] [Chorus — explosive full-band return; smoky female clean lead layered with deep growls and sharp screams] Thraevanna — aevara ná! Vaelruna skeld, maeritha þrá. Thraevanna — morvaen a thaal! Járn a saelith, kaerunna vaal! [Outro — final vocal note dissolves into distorted delay; hurdy-gurdy reprises the opening melody over jagged guitars and broken electronic percussion; brief descending tape-stop on electronics alone, final dry full-band impact, hard cut]
