[Intro]
Haa
Ooh
Haa
Ooh

[Verse 1]
The crack was thin as a silver needle
Running wide beneath my hand
I pressed my ear to the frozen surface
And heard deep doors in the land

The ravens circled without a sound
The snow drew back from the stone
A stair of ice went down before me
Blue as a buried bone

[Pre-Chorus]
I took one breath
I left the sky
The cold closed over
My last goodbye

[Chorus]
In the frozen hall
The old walls sing without a tongue
In the frozen hall
The first winter still is young
Every pillar holds a name
Every shadow keeps its fall
I hear my footsteps answer me
In the frozen hall

[Verse 2]
No torch could live in that breathless chamber
No flame would keep its shape
But the runes along the ceiling shimmered
Like fish beneath a lake

I saw long tables sealed in frost
Horn cups split with age
A throne of stone with no king upon it
And a wolf carved on the dais

[Pre-Chorus]
No feast, no blade
No living skin
Only the sound
Of the cold within

[Chorus]
In the frozen hall
The old walls sing without a tongue
In the frozen hall
The first winter still is young
Every pillar holds a name
Every shadow keeps its fall
I hear my footsteps answer me
In the frozen hall

[Wordless Choir]
Haa, haa
Eira, eira
Ooh, ooh
Stone remembers

[Instrumental Break]
Haa
Haa
Ooh
Ooh

[Bridge]
There were marks on the floor
Where knees had bowed
There were cuts in the ice
Where blood ran loud

Not battle, not glory
Not crown, not throne
Only a warning
Left under stone

[Build-up]
The deeper I walked, the lower they sang
The ceiling glowed like dawn
And far at the end of the frozen hall
One black rune opened on

[Final Chorus]
In the frozen hall
The old walls sing without a tongue
In the frozen hall
The first winter still is young
Every pillar holds a name
Every shadow keeps its fall
I hear the dead breathe through the ice
In the frozen hall

[Outro]
Haa
Ooh
Haa
Ooh
The hall did not end
It waited
