Write English symphonic Viking death metal lyrics, 150–165 BPM, E minor, core instrumentation: detuned 8-string rhythm guitars, thunderous blast-beat drums, lush brassy orchestral swells, tagelharpa melodies, deep male war choir layers, soaring operatic Valkyrie soprano traded with guttural death growl harmonies, in the vein of Arch Enemy, Epica, Delain. Emotional core: grim, reverent, blazing victorious defiance. Narrative and imagery: Follow a disgraced shieldmaiden steerswoman who sails through fjord mist at golden dawn, bearing a cracked oath-ring, to atone for her kin by claiming a relic staked on a frozen battle plain of unburied warrior dead. Frame scenes of salt spray stinging wind-chapped cheeks, wolf cries over snowdrifts, raven wings blotting low sunlight, oaths sworn over blade-hilts as frost-fires glow along longship prows.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Hook] Rise from the mist Iron and fist Vows in the frost Whatever the cost [Verse] Salt spray stings her face Seeking the lost grace Fjord mist hides the sun What is done is done Steering through the deep Oaths she has to keep [Pre-Chorus] Wolf cries in the snow Where the cold winds blow Raven wings take flight In the golden light [Chorus] Gold ring cracked in two Blood is red and true On the frozen plain Wash away the stain Blazing fires of ice Pay the heavy price [Post-Chorus] Shatter the shame Carry the flame Shatter the shame Carry the flame [Verse] Unburied warriors lie Underneath the sky Blade-hilts cold as stone She must stand alone Claiming back the prize With her steady eyes [Pre-Chorus] Frost-fires on the prow Make the final vow Shieldmaiden of old Brave and fierce and bold [Chorus] Gold ring cracked in two Blood is red and true On the frozen plain Wash away the stain Blazing fires of ice Pay the heavy price [Build-up] Valhalla calls The hammer falls The sky turns black No turning back [Bridge] Valkyrie wings are spread Honoring the dead Defiance in her soul Making spirit whole The relic glows so bright In the winter night [Solo] [Chorus] Gold ring cracked in two Blood is red and true On the frozen plain Wash away the stain Blazing fires of ice Pay the heavy price [Hook] Rise from the mist Iron and fist Vows in the frost Whatever the cost [Outro]
