Witchfire and Runesong

{deep cinematic frame drum,

ambient drone, crackling bonfire

SFX,

distant wind howling} (huuuuummmm) (heeeeyaaa) She draws a circle in the soil

With rowan wood and ancient oil

He carves the rune of protection deep

Before the mountain giants leap

{tagelharpa and dark folk

acoustic guitar enter} When the ash tree starts to bend

To the cold wind we ascend

Bound by wood and carved in bone

We are never truly alone (heya heya hooo) {full pounding rhythmic driving

build}

He speaks

to crows that fly above

Not of war

and not

of love

But of the frost

that eats

the seed

And of the spirits

we

must feed

{plucked mouth harp and subtle low synth drone}

We call the rain,

we call the fire

Burning on a sacred pyre

(hoooo) (aaaahhh) {explosive build with accelerating frame drums and soaring vocal screams}

When the ash tree starts to bend

To the cold wind we ascend

Bound by wood and carved in bone

We are never truly alone (heya

heya hooo)

{heavy driving rhythm with

huge open choral backing} Bound in bone...

(huuuuummmm) {instruments slowly fade,

leaving

only the crackling fire and a single low drone}
