LONGHOUSE

Domsgard with Eldruna

Translation

Verse 1

Longhouse, black beam, red fire low

Hide the fear in the rafters’ smoke

Drums like hooves on frozen wood

We wake the old blood where we stood

Verse 2

Tagelharpa groans under skin and bone

Lyre strings bite like a whetstone tone

Bone flute calls through the ash-dark hall

Lur sends thunder down the wall

Pre-Chorus

Hail the iron

Hail the flame

Hail the fathers

Speak our name

Verse 3

Jaw harp snaps like a trapped wolf jaw

Hands on cups, and the cold wind crawls

We cut the night with a chant of stone

Till every shadow learns our home

Bridge

Bone flute alone

Then jaw harp pulse

One breath, one oath

Cold blood, no hush

Verse 4

Now the drums come hard, like shields in rain

Lyre rides higher through the chain

Lur blasts wide like a war-god horn

We rise as the old ones are reborn

Outro

Hail the iron

Hail the flame

Longhouse, longhouse

We remain
