Nine Worlds Below

[Verse 1]
Old gods walk the ash
Under runes and bone
Odin in the hanging wind
Keeps his eye on stone
Thor with the split sky
Lifts the hammer high
Freya in the black ash
Watches rivers die
(Heard the old names)
(Still they stay)
[Pre-Chorus]
Nine worlds turning
Under frozen breath
Every oath is iron
Every feast feeds death
[Chorus]
Helheim, open wide
Take me in your лед
Jotunheim, stand still
Under storms of lead
Svartalfheim, black deep
Where the lost ones go
Ancient gods keep watch
In the cold below
(Cold below)
[Verse 2]
Helheim fields of frost
Where the pale bones sleep
No warm fire waits there
Only silence deep
Jotunheim is stone
Shoulders of the ice
Giants carved from winter
Cut the world to size
Svartalfheim below
In the under-mire
Darkness made of hunger
Forged in hidden fire
(Hidden fire)
(Born to burn)
[Pre-Chorus]
Nine worlds turning
Under frozen breath
Every oath is iron
Every feast feeds death
[Chorus]
Helheim, open wide
Take me in your лед
Jotunheim, stand still
Under storms of lead
Svartalfheim, black deep
Where the lost ones go
Ancient gods keep watch
In the cold below
(Cold below)
[Bridge]
When the long night comes
And the ravens call
Even kings go quiet
Even gold will fall
I will speak the names
On the frost-bit tongue
Till the last dark plain
Takes my beating one
(Takes my beating one)
[Final Chorus]
Helheim, open wide
Take me in your лед
Jotunheim, stand still
Under storms of lead
Svartalfheim, black deep
Where the lost ones go
Ancient gods keep watch
In the cold below
Helheim, open wide
Jotunheim, stand still
Svartalfheim, black deep
Ancient gods keep watch
In the cold below
(Cold below)

Dark folk metal with a driving mid-tempo gallop, tom-heavy drums, tremolo guitars, and a brooding bass pulse; verse one is sparse with chant-like vocals and low drone, pre-chorus widens with layered harmonies and taiko-style hits, chorus lands in a huge gang-vocal roar. Use stormy risers, rune-chime accents, and a distant horn swell into the bridge. Mix is wide, cold, and cavernous with a crushing low end and sharp icy top
