[Chant Intro – Norse choir, lead singer layered vocals, 120 BPM]
Kasta að nýju — þeir rúlla á ný
Kasta að nýju — þeir rúlla á ný (Kasta teningnum)
Kasta að nýju — þeir rúlla á ný (Lát örlög ráða)
Kasta að nýju — þeir rúlla á ný (Sigra eða falla)
Kasta að nýju — þeir rúlla á ný (Byrja að nýju)
The gods still play
[Verse 1 – female vocal, rhythmic folk-metal groove, layered vocals, orchestral build]
Come forth, champions — take your seats
Legends await; now draw your sheets
The dice are cast, your eyes all gleam
Live or die within waking dreams
[Bridge 1 – Norse choir, deep reverb]
Draw your weapons, take a breath
I bring you whimsy, drama, and death
As you’ve answered adventure’s call
With open arms, I’ll watch you fall
[Bridge 2 – Norse choir, deep reverb]
Riddari, þjófur og sjómaður saman
hin miklu konungsríki rísa og konungsríki falla
[Chorus – operatic female power vocal, authoritative tone, rising harmony, drum swell, full band]
Building worlds through chaos’ din
Granting honor, mercy, sin
Kasta að nýju — choose Foe or Friend
Kasta að nýju — they play again
Kasta að nýju — the gods concur
Endless tragedy will endure (þola, þola, þola)
[Verse 2 – English with Norse refrain, lighter percussion, ethereal flute]
The hero’s journey — allir vita það vel
Where every myth and legend dwells
Tying disbelief to reality
Lacing your hopes with irony (hahaha)
[Bridge 3 – Norse chorus, chanted rhythm, epic build]
Stíg yfir þröskuld — próf og leikir
Fölsk sigr — heimur þinn í logum
Þú hélst að vinna, en óttastu endann
Bíddu eftir himneskum snúningi
[Rap Verse – rhythmic spoken / half-sung delivery, cinematic beat drop]
Cross the threshold — to trials and games
Fölsk sigr logar — triumph in flames
Darkness spreads as your souls grow old
Kallaðu trúna — yet death’s been foretold
You think you’ve won, but dread instead
Snúningur bíður — where angels tread
[Break – spoken English/Norse echo shout, distorted reverb]
Gefstu upp fyrir örlögum! (AH-Ah-ah)
You’re in my world welcome to Pandora (ha-ha-ha)
[Chorus – operatic female power vocal, authoritative tone, rising harmony, drum swell, full band]
Building worlds through chaos’ din
Granting honor, mercy, sin
Kasta að nýju — choose Foe or Friend
Kasta að nýju — they play again
Kasta að nýju — the gods concur
Endless tragedy will endure (þola, þola, þola)
[Finale – grand choir, drums and strings, full band, cinematic crescendo]
The gods still play, the dice still roll
Again they rise after each death’s toll
Þeir draga sverðið, þeir halda línunni
Þeir slá Drottin — dýrðin skilgreind
At journey’s end, they roll the dice
And start again
[Outro – fading choir chant, echoing dice sound, long reverb tail]
þeir rúlla á ný
They roll… again
