VÖLVA – Voice of the Seeress | Old Norse Ritual & Nordic Music

VÖLVA

Nordic ritual song inspired by the Edda

Völva is a ritual song told from the voice of the seeress.
She stands outside of time, speaking of fate, collapse, memory and what must come.
Not prophecy as spectacle, but as burden.

This song is slow, heavy and restrained.
A voice that does not warn to save, but to remember.
What is spoken is not meant to comfort.

No fantasy.
No heroism.
Only fate, spoken aloud.

Headphones recommended.


LYRICS (Old Norse inspired)

[Intro]
Ek em völva
forn ok ein
rǫdd mín
rífr tíma

[Verse]
Ek man heima
fyr dagr rann
sá ek rætur
undir heimi

Blóð ok mold
bundin vóru
örlǫg skrifuð
á stein

[Chorus]
Hlustið nú
á orð mín
þat sem kemr
verðr

Hlustið nú
á rǫdd mína
enginn flýr
dóm

[Verse]
Ek sá fall
goða ok manna
sverð sljó
en vilji sterkr

Logi gleypti
sal ok sál
en jǫrð
man enn

[Chorus]
Hlustið nú
á orð mín
þat sem kemr
verðr

Hlustið nú
á rǫdd mína
enginn flýr
dóm

[Bridge]
Ek stend
milli tíma
segi satt
þó þat sár

Sá er hlýðir
sér aptr
sá er hlær
fellr

[Final Chorus]
Völva talar
völva veit
örlǫg ganga
sína leið

Völva þagnar
nóttin tekr
en orð
lifir

[Outro]
Rǫdd sefr
steinr man
tími rennr

LYRICS – ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Intro
I am the seeress,
ancient and alone.
My voice
tears through time.

Verse
I remember the worlds
before day was born.
I saw the roots
beneath the world.

Blood and earth
were bound together,
fate was written
into stone.

Chorus
Listen now
to my words.
What is to come
will be.

Listen now
to my voice.
No one escapes
judgment.

Verse
I saw the fall
of gods and men.
Swords grew dull,
but will remained strong.

Fire devoured
halls and souls,
yet the earth
still remembers.

Chorus
Listen now
to my words.
What is to come
will be.

Listen now
to my voice.
No one escapes
judgment.

Bridge
I stand
between the times,
I speak the truth
though it wounds.

Those who listen
may return.
Those who mock
will fall.

Final Chorus
The seeress speaks,
the seeress knows.
Fate walks
its path.

The seeress falls silent,
night takes hold,
but the word
remains.

Outro
The voice rests.
The stone remembers.
Time flows on.
