Verse 1

From Ymatája they were torn,
From silver woods where stars were born,
Banished by a broken vow,
No sacred light could shield them now.

A fracture split the worlds apart,
Born of treason, fear and dark,
And what once shone in crystal air
Fell to shadow, cold and bare.

Verse 2

Through starbound gates they fled in pain,
With frost in breath and loss like rain,
And swore within a foreign land
To seal their home by oath and hand.

A sigil forged of blood and song,
Of ancient will held fierce and strong,
To lock Ymatája far away
And keep its rising dark at bay.

Refrain (Aelfarisch)

Froststjerneriel, vaknar i isdrak ljós
Bærar sigilvyr i hjärtanar rós
Minnas Ymatájar stjärnaskin klar
Verndar oss genom skuggnar svar

Drak’thal riven, men ljóset står
Sannvyr brennar i frostens år
Hör oss, stjernariel fjarr og nær
Led oss heim i nyvärld skær

Verse 3

But years consumed their strength and flame,
The sigil weakened all the same,
A whisper crept through stone and sky,
And doubt refused to die.

The foreign earth began to shake,
As if the sealed world would awake,
The binding cracked beneath the strain —
And night rose up again.

Bridge (soft, desperate)

When at last the sigil broke,
And silver light in darkness choked,
Simja fell on frozen stone
Beneath a sky of shattered tone.

“Froststar… hear us in this night,
Our strength is fading from the fight.
If any hope still burns afar,
See us beneath your star.”

No name she called into the sky,
No savior shaped her final cry,
Only grief and truth laid bare
In storm-torn, frozen air.

Final Rise

Far beyond the broken veil
A light awoke against the gale,
The Froststar flared in blazing white —
It heard her through the night.

Unspoken call, yet deeply known,
Through star and silence it had flown.

And from that light a presence came,
Adailoé in silver flame.

She did not know the caller’s name,
But felt the sorrow just the same,
And where the Froststar’s fire burned,
Her ancient heart had turned.

She split the dark with radiant hand,
And carved a gate through time and land,
A path of frost, of star, of dawn —
And led the Aelfar on.

Final Refrain (Aelfarisch – full choir)

Froststjerneriel, ljósdrak skyn
Bærar oss över riven bryn
Sigil fallnar, men hjärtat står
I stjärnaskin nyvärld gror

Sannvyr vakar i evig frid
Aelfar reisar ur nattens strid
Minnas, minn as, barn av ljós
Froststjerneriel — verndar oss
