Draugrs Kveða (The Draugrs Chant) | Viking Music / Old Norse Norse Mythology

A restless presence watches over ancient burial mounds. The draugr belongs to the old northern imagination, a guardian spirit bound by oath and soil. This song follows that figure rising from the cold earth, driven by duty rather than peace.

English translation of the lyrics:

Raven blue night lies silent across the mound.
A deep unease runs through the soil.
The ancient guardian breathes a cold breath.

He wakes from the grey earth.
His eyes glow like clear sparks.
Dust and roots fall from his armor.
The draugr climbs from the ground with stiff steps.

His chest echoes with ancient anger.
Cold breath fills the air.
The mound calls for its protector.
He answers with a deep growl.

Disturbers of peace whisper through the night.
Their hands tear the turf.
The draugr rises tall.
His fury spreads like a fallen storm.

In his eyes lives an old lord.
Oaths bind him to the mound’s rest.
Those who disturb the sleeping spirit
hear the earth itself reply.

The draugr walks the ruins of night.
He follows his duty with cold resolve.
His soul finds no rest.
The mound is his heart and his sacred place.
