Lyrics
[Intro]
The oar cuts black water
No sun, no shore
A wolf at the bow
And the dead below
[Verse 1]
I left my hall with iron in hand
Past the last pine, past the borderland
The raven refused to call my name
The northern wind tasted ash and flame
At Gjallarbrú, the bridge stood pale
A girl with a sword watched through the veil
She asked what I carried beneath my skin
I said, “One oath—and the will to win”
[Pre-Chorus]
The gate has teeth, the river has eyes
The roots hold fast where the cold never dies
If Hel has claimed what I came to retrieve
Then I’ll break the dark till the dark makes me leave
[Chorus]
Ride with me through Helheim
Where the frozen rivers shine
Past the hall of half-dead kings
I will take back what is mine
No grave can bind me
No frost can make me kneel
Through the jaws of Niflhel
I’ll return with iron will
[Drop]
Hey! Hey! Raise the flame
Hey! Hey! Call my name
Through the ice, through the fire
Higher, higher, higher
[Verse 2]
The hound struck sparks from the stone at my feet
The shield-maid laughed with a hollow beat
“Your living breath is a borrowed thing”
I drew my blade and heard ravens sing
A thousand faces lined the wall
Some wore crowns, some wore none at all
I found your hand in the winter crowd
And swore your silence would not be proud
[Pre-Chorus]
The gate has teeth, the river has eyes
The roots hold fast where the cold never dies
If Hel has claimed what I came to retrieve
Then I’ll break the dark till the dark makes me leave
[Chorus]
Ride with me through Helheim
Where the frozen rivers shine
Past the hall of half-dead kings
I will take back what is mine
No grave can bind me
No frost can make me kneel
Through the jaws of Niflhel
I’ll return with iron will
[Bridge]
Oar to the black tide
Blade to the frost
Count every heartbeat
Name what was lost
If I must bargain
I’ll bargain with scars
If I must cross death
I’ll tear through its bars
[Breakdown]
Open the gate
Let the dead bear witness
Open the gate
I am not finished
Open the gate
Hear the old gods call
I came for one soul
I will not leave at all
[Final Chorus]
Ride with me through Helheim
Now the frozen rivers crack
Past the hall of half-dead kings
With your heartbeat at my back
No grave can bind us
No frost can make us kneel
Through the jaws of Niflhel
We return with iron will
[Outro]
The oar cuts bright water
Dawn climbs the shore
A wolf at the stern
And the living once more

Style
Cinematic EDM-rock hybrid with a driving four-on-the-floor kick, distorted baritone electric-guitar riffs, deep synth bass, thunderous live toms, icy pads, and wide festival drops. Start with sparse low drones and ritual percussion, build through tense verses, explode into a huge melodic chorus with stacked male vocals, then add a halftime breakdown with choral accents before a final double-length drop. Polished modern mix, tight punchy low end, aggressive guitars, dramatic risers, and clear powerful male lead vocal.
