Gravefeast at the Long Table 2

Intro

Hu-ha! Níð!

Hela spreads the table long before you draw breath...

Verse 1

Frost on my blade like a promise kept

Crossed nine world-roots — every path that crept

I watched your Jarl pour mead on ash and bone

Left the memory of my brother alone

Draugr in your nightmare climbing out of the barrow

Huginn dropped your name and Muninn lent me the arrow

Pre-Chorus

You think you're safe behind your longhouse wall

But I brought the wolves with me, before we all fall...

Chorus

Gravefeast at the long table — every oath in blood

Níð on your name — and I'm already fed! (fed!)

Cold wind through the skulls — no mercy to give

You'll eat what you planted here beneath the ice-tree!

Gravefeast at the long table — don't be late

The Norns set this feast — but I'm the one who's great

Verse 2

I walked among your kin like a god in chains

Took the oath of blood that binds until I break it again

Your father sold my brother for the weight of gold

So I brought his bones back and made them tell their own tale, old

Every night I burn the fire, every day I track

You thought you'd found a safe-house but you just locked it in the rack

Pre-Chorus

You think you're safe behind your longhouse wall

But I brought the wolves with me, before we all fall...

Chorus

Gravefeast at the long table — every oath in blood

Níð on your name — and I'm already fed! (fed!)

Cold wind through the skulls — no mercy to give

You'll eat what you planted here beneath the ice-tree!

Gravefeast at the long table — don't be late

The Norns set this feast — but I'm the one who's great

Bridge

Not a battle — a reckoning, cold (cold!)

This isn't war — it's what we both were told (were told!)

:

You chose the feast yourself long before you drew breath

Every step I take brings us one oath closer to death

Outro

Hu-ha! Níð!

Níð! Níð!

Gravefeast at the long table... (fed!)

Forever fed.

This ain't war — this is reckoning, cold (cold!)

Blood-feud older than every story we ever got told (told!).

I hunt through the cold!
