[Intro — gritty hurdy-gurdy drone; scraping industrial textures and broken electronic pulses; downtuned guitar riff enters] [Verse 1 — deep female growls, deliberate articulation, tight syncopated groove] Hrímvara skeld, þraunira nátt, Járnetha völd, skaruna drátt. [Cutting female screams; abrupt guitar accents] Fjarnavið kald, skeldruna þrá, Hrafnara vek — draumetha hrá! [Chorus — powerful husky female clean singing; dark sustained hook, heavy guitars] Hrafnaskeld — ó, Hrafnaskeld! Þeirava ná, skaurava veld. Hrafnaskeld — ísvara þrá! Draunetha veyr, járnara vá! [Bridge — exposed smoky female chest voice over low bass and granular electronic noise] Æ… skeldara… Ó… nævara… Hrís a veyr, hrís a vál. [Voice roughens; toms and distorted guitars build] Þrauma við skeld. Þrauma við sál. [Deep female growl; full-band impact] Járnara hál! [Verse 2 — crushing half-time groove; low female growls alternating with sharp screams] Þraskara neld, fjóruna skar, Veyðruna þolm, hravika þar. [Harsh screams over clipped guitar stops] Skeld a draun — skeld a þrá! Hrafnara vek — járnara vá! [Solo — extended amplified hurdy-gurdy lead; eerie modal melody, rapid ornaments and climbing variations over heavy rhythm guitars and live drums; distorted electronic bass answers between phrases; no lead guitar solo] [Chorus — explosive full-band return; smoky female clean lead layered with deep growls] Hrafnaskeld — ó, Hrafnaskeld! Þeirava ná, skaurava veld. Hrafnaskeld — ísvara þrá! Draunetha veyr, járnara vá! [Outro — hurdy-gurdy repeats the chorus motif over jagged guitars and bitcrushed percussion; one final full-band impact, hard cut]
