RITUAL OF THE ASHEN GODS

[Intro – Wind / Fire / Distant Chant] [Low female whisper layered with wind] “Kom… nær… til eldr ok blóð…” (Come… closer… to fire and blood…) [Distant male throat chant begins] [Ritual Verse I] Circle drawn in ash and bone No god answers from a throne We call them down—we break the veil Through frost, through fire, through iron hail Blood on stone, the sigil wakes Every breath the old world takes Drums like hearts beneath the ground— They hear us now… they hear the sound… [Pre-Chorus – Rising Chant] “Eldur rís… skuggar vakna…” [Fire rises… shadows awaken…] “Blóð ok sál… gefum nú…” [Blood and soul… we now give…] [Drums intensify, heartbeat rhythm] [Chorus – Ritual Invocation Drop] Óðinn! Heyrðu kall! (Odin! Hear the call!) Þór! Brjóttu himinfall! (Thor! Break the skyfall!) Freyja! Taktu blóð! (Freyja! Take the blood!) Rise from ash—we feed the gods! [Huge bass drop + horns + chanting choir] [Verse II – Darker, Possessed Tone] Voices crawl beneath the skin Something ancient pulls within Eyes go black, the body sways Lost inside the older ways We are vessels, we are flame We forget our mortal name Every drum a binding chain— Every breath a sacred pain [Bridge – Possession Sequence / Half-Time] [Female lead, whisper → scream] “Þeir koma… þeir anda í mér…” (They come… they breathe in me…) [Deep male chant underneath] “Vakna… vakna… vakna…” (Awaken… awaken… awaken…) [Synths distort, heartbeat slows, bass pulses like a ritual pulse] [Build – Frenzied Ritual] Faster… louder… bones collide Spirits tearing us inside Runes ignite beneath our feet— Gods and mortals finally meet [Final Chorus – Full Possession Drop] Óðinn! Heyrðu kall! Þór! Brjóttu himinfall! Freyja! Taktu blóð! WE ARE NOW THE LIVING GODS! [Choir screams layered with industrial distortion] [Outro – Silence / Embers] [Soft whisper, almost intimate] “Hel… tekur allt…” (Hel… takes all…) [Single drum hit… fade into wind]
