[Intro / powerful female lead vocal ] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Fjords awaken, fire in her eyes! Rhana! Rhana! The storm answers where vengeance lies! [Female voice: haunting, breathy, sustained] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... [Verse 1] Moonlit blades and frozen hair, Her heart was stolen, none to care. Wolves of winter stalk her side, Through blood and frost, she will not hide. [Female background vocal] Rhana... Rhana... Steel rings out, the mountains quake, Every strike a vow to take. Love once lost, now fuels her flame, No soul remains untouched by her name. [Female response, rising] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! [Pre-Chorus] Ah-lir! Ah-lir! Through the night, she rides alone! Ah-lir! Ah-lir! Her shadow strikes, her wrath is known! [Female vocal underneath] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... [Chorus: powerful layered female and male vocals] Lah-mir! Lah-mir! Valhalla waits, the gods reply! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, Through death and fire, she will rise! [Female response] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Hah-rah! Hah-rah! Her vengeance done, her love avenged! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, To eternal halls her soul ascends! [Female vocal rising over final line] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana! Rhana! [Verse 2] Shields will splinter, axes fall, No mercy given, she takes it all. Every foe a memory gone, Every scream a mournful song. [Female background chant] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Through frozen woods and mountain high, She hunts the traitors where they lie. The night obeys her battle cry, Her spirit unbroken, she will not die. [Female vocal, stronger] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! [Pre-Chorus] Ah-lir! Ah-lir! Through the dark, her wrath is shown! Ah-lir! Ah-lir! Her fury burns like thunderstone! [Female response] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rhana! [Chorus: full drums, powerful female lead, layered male chants] Lah-mir! Lah-mir! Valhalla waits, the gods reply! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, Through death and fire, she will rise! [Female chant] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Hah-rah! Hah-rah! Her vengeance done, her love avenged! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, To eternal halls her soul ascends! [Female vocal soaring] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana! Rhana! [Bridge: drums drop back, female voice becomes haunting and exposed] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rhana... Rah-nah! Rah-nah! Hear the river’s frozen roar! Ah-lir! Ah-lir! Through the gates of the gods she soars! [Female vocal circles around the lead] Rhana... Rhana... Rhana! Rhana! Golden halls and shields of light, Feasting now through endless night! Her journey done, her battles won, Her song eternal, her soul as one. [Female voice builds] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! [Chorus / Finale: massive female vocal layered with male war chants] Lah-mir! Lah-mir! Valhalla waits, the gods reply! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, Through death and fire, she will rise! [Female chant] Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Rhana! Hah-rah! Hah-rah! Her vengeance done, her love avenged! Storm of the Shieldmaiden, To eternal halls her soul ascends! [Female voice sustained above the final chorus] Rhanaaaaa... Rhanaaaaa... Rhana! Rhana! [Outro Chant: voices gradually fading into the wind] Hah-rah! Rhana! Ah-lir! Lah-mir! [Female voice, distant] Rhana... Rhana... The Shieldmaiden rides forevermore!
