Seiðr in the Snow (Version 2)

Intro

Hu! Hu!

Frost on the drum

Hu! Hu!

The night holds its breath

Verse 1

I came before the ravens

I came before the runes

I read the frozen river

I read the turning moons

I sat him by the fire

I put the staff in his hand

I taught the one-eyed wanderer

The way the threads all ran

Pre-Chorus

Write his name in silver

Carve his name in stone

Every spell he sings tonight

Is a spell I've known

Chorus

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) I call and the north wind answers

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) My song is the oldest law

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) Every thread runs back to me

Seiðr in the snow

Verse 2

I drew the circle wider

I let the daughters in

I showed them how to listen

Where the world's edge wears thin

I gave away the secret

And still the secret's mine

My voice crept out like frost

Along the window line

Pre-Chorus

Write his name in silver

Carve his name in stone

Every spell he sings tonight

Is a spell I've known

Chorus

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) I call and the north wind answers

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) My song is the oldest law

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) Every thread runs back to me

Seiðr in the snow

Bridge – low chant

Before the skald, I sang

Before the saga, I spoke

They wrote it by the firelight

Of the fire I first stoked

Final Chorus

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) I call and the north wind answers

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) My song is the oldest law

Seiðr in the snow

(Hu!) Every thread runs back to me

Seiðr in the snow

Outro

Hu! Hu!

Seiðr in the snow

Hu! Hu!

Seiðr in the snow
