[Intro — solitary amplified cello, low resonant bowed motif with audible string friction; distorted electronic pulses slowly enter beneath it] [Transition — reversed cello scrape rises into a dry full-band hit; tight straight 4/4 backbeat] [Verse 1 — rapid female rhythmic recitative, low smoky rasp; dense short words, sharp consonants, muted syncopated guitars and thick bass] Mor sa hál, mor sa draal, kald kauren sa veld. En sa thae, thu sa hál, járn sa skeld. Ke thu shaelira saen sa mor, sa kald kauren? Ke thu maeritha kaen a en, kaen a mauren? No ór, no draen — en thessira við æl. Thessil sa kauren, skar sa vel, þrá sa sál. En ren osh, en ren naevira sa morvitha hál. En ul nae kelvara — kelrun a en no kald! [Transition — final word breaks into a tight vocal stutter; cello slides upward as guitars open into wide sustained chords] [Chorus — powerful husky female clean singing; dark memorable hook, low growled responses] Kelrun a kauren — kelruna nae! Sael a morven — saevritha vae! Kelrun a kauren — orritha hál! Hrís, aelruna sael — kaeritha vaal! [Transition — last chord abruptly filters down to a narrow metallic pulse; dry bass and drums continue without a pause] [Verse 2 — faster aggressive female recitative; coarse chest rasp, percussive articulation, occasional harsh accents] Thu ren thessira sael sa skeld, kaen sa járn. En ren kaeritha thessun sa hál, sa kald kaarn. Im ren vrek thaen, im ren vrek vauren. Im ren moritha kaen a haerven sa kauren. Vrek mevrin, vrek torven — no vrek sael a en! Orritha orrun, haelvanna haerven við en! Hrann sa keld, drae sa vor, kelrun sa hál. Em ul nae saelruna — em no ossara vaal! [Transition — the last vocal syllable is swallowed by a deep cello note; drums drop out, leaving bow friction and sub-bass] [Solo — amplified cello lead; expressive low-register melody, gritty double-stops, rapid bowing and rising arpeggios; bass and toms enter first, then heavy rhythm guitars and full live drums; cello remains clearly in front] [Transition — cello climbs into a fragile high harmonic; all percussion cuts out, long reverb abruptly gates shut] [Bridge — low smoky female clean singing; four short spacious lines, sparse cello and clean guitar, no rhythmic recitative] Shaelira, kauren. Naevara, kelrun. Orritha orrun. Saevanna, sael. [Transition — whispered remnants of the last word scatter left and right; reversed cello swell, one beat of total silence] [Dubstep Breakdown — one short eight-bar section; distorted formant bass trades phrases with downtuned guitar stabs, chopped cello attacks and metallic percussion; crushing half-time drums, no new lyrics] [Transition — electronic bass pitch-dives and cuts out; a rising cello run launches the final chorus] [Final Chorus — explosive full-band return; powerful smoky female clean lead layered with deep growls and cutting screams, soaring cello countermelody] Kelrun a kauren — kelruna nae! Sael a morven — saevritha vae! Kelrun a kauren — orritha hál! Hrís, aelruna sael — kaeritha vaal! [Outro — cello reprises the opening motif over broken guitar strikes; electronic echoes shorten between the hits, final low cello double-stop and full-band impact, hard cut]
