Blóðrúnar (Blood Runes) | Old Norse Viking Music

In the silence of the night, ancient runes awaken. Blóðrúnar tells of blood, stone, and divine silence — a ritual of carving oaths into flesh and earth, where words ignite and never fade. The song draws on the Old Norse belief that every rune carries power, binding memory and fate.

This song blends Nordic folk, dark ambient, and choral textures with ritualistic percussion and deep vocal resonance. Ideal for those drawn to Norse mythology, ancient rites, and the sound of forgotten tongues.

English translation of lyrics:

[Verse 1]
In the stillness of night, on a cold stone,
my blood falls like rain.
Runes glow in the shadow of the shrine,
the gods are silent, listening, waiting.

[Verse 2]
I carve with iron,
I speak with wounds.
Each line a promise,
each drop my oath.

[Chorus]
Blood runes burn,
in skin, in earth, in heart.
The words live, the words devour,
they take, they give.

[Verse 3]
Beneath the eyes of the dead,
I sing the old tongue.
The fire slept, but the heart beat,
like the hammer of the gods.

[Bridge]
Those who read the runes
shall never turn back.
They walk in the flame of memory,
where all lives, all dies.

[Final Chorus]
Blood runes burn,
in skin, in earth, in heart.
They call, they bind,
they open the road to Hel.
