Rúnabein - Runebones | Viking Song of Prophecy and Fate

🔥 A dark Nordic song about seeresses casting rune bones before a voyage, reading fate that cannot be undone.
This is a song of forbidden knowledge — where prophecy binds more tightly than chains, and seeing the future changes nothing.
Lyrics inspired by Old Norse language and mythic tradition.

Old Norse
Verse I
Vǫlur sitja í daufum hǫllum,
Bein falla mjúkt á svartan dúk.
Rúnar eru skornar í merg ok hug,
Blóð minnist þess er orð gleyma.
Engi þorir at spyrja án scars,
Því svǫr lifa lengr en andi.

Chorus
Rúnabein kastað í myrkri,
Örlǫg mæla — allar raddir þagna.
Sá er sér veginn fram undan,
Gengr eigi lengr óbundinn.

Verse II
Hendr mega skjálfa, en augu vaka,
Þá er tákn samlagast ok verða sǫnn.
Sumir sjá braut til morguns ljóss,
Aðrir mold á framandi jǫrð.
Vǫlur segja eigi lygi,
En segja aldregi sǫguna alla.

Chorus
Rúnabein kastað í myrkri,
Örlǫg mæla — allar raddir þagna.
Sá er sér veginn fram undan,
Gengr eigi lengr óbundinn.

Verse III
Vísdómr kostar meir en silfr ok gull,
Minni er innsiglat í blóði.
Sá er veit of mikit um örlǫg,
Finnr enga hvíld í kyrrum svefni.
Þá er beinin liggja loks kyrr,
Hafa örlǫg þegar farið fram.

Chorus
Rúnabein kastað í myrkri,
Örlǫg mæla — allar raddir þagna.
Sá er sér veginn fram undan,
Gengr eigi lengr óbundinn.

Verse I

Seeresses sit in dim-lit halls,
Bones fall soft on cloth of black.
Runes are cut in marrow and mind,
Blood remembers what words forget.

None dare ask without a scar,
For answers outlive the breath.

Chorus
Runebones cast into the dark,
Fate speaks — all voices fade.
Who sees the road that lies ahead
No longer walks unchained.

Verse II

Hands may shake, yet eyes stay clear,
As signs align and turn to truth.
Some behold a dawnward path,
Some see soil of foreign ground.

The seeresses do not speak lies,
Yet never tell the tale entire.

Chorus
Runebones cast into the dark,
Fate speaks — all voices fade.
Who sees the road that lies ahead
No longer walks unchained.

Verse III

Wisdom costs more than coin or gold,
Memory is sealed in blood.
He who knows too much of fate
Finds no rest in quiet sleep.

When at last the bones lie still,
Fate has already passed beyond.

Chorus
Runebones cast into the dark,
Fate speaks — all voices fade.
Who sees the road that lies ahead
No longer walks unchained.
