Embers under ice

[Intro] (wind • distant tribal drum • soft female humming) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Eldr… Undir ís… ⸻ [Verse 1] I remember the fire Before the cold arrived Before the sky turned hollow Before the north went silent Your voice still lives inside me Like embers underneath the snow A dying light Refusing to let go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Cold rain Dark skies Still your shadow survives I can hear your name Inside the storm tonight ⸻ [Chorus] There are embers under ice Still burning in the dark Even when the whole world freezes You remain inside my heart There are embers under ice Hidden underneath the snow And no storm No endless winter Can erase your glow ⸻ [Post-Chorus] (deep tribal choir) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Norðr… Eldr… ⸻ [Verse 2] The mountains still remember Every voice we left behind Every broken prayer Still frozen in time I see your ghost in firelight I hear you in the waves Some souls never disappear Even inside the grave ⸻ [Bridge] (only Eira singing softly with tribal drums) Eldr… Eldr… Lifir enn… (still alive) ⸻ [Breakdown] (massive emotional guitars slowly rise) WE ARE NOT GONE WE ARE NOT LOST WE LIVE INSIDE THE FROST ⸻ [Final Chorus] (huge cinematic choir) There are embers under ice Still burning through the storm Even when the last light fades Your memory keeps me warm There are embers under ice And I swear beneath the snow The north is not forgotten As long as one fire still glows ⸻ [Outro] (wind • distant female chant • crackling fire) Hei-ja… Eldr… Undir ís…
