[Intro]
No bell. No thaw. No morning red.
Only white fields over the dead.

[Verse 1]
The hall stands tall, but the doors are barred,
Feast cups sleep in a frozen yard.
No god laughs loud, no child runs,
The sky holds back its tired sun.
Under the hill, the serpent drips,
Sigyn counts with bloodless lips.
Loki breathes through cord and stone,
And winter sits on every throne.

[Pre-Chorus]
The wolves do not hurry; they know the road.
The roots still carry the venom load.
Every oath-ring, cracked and cold,
Waits for the sound the watchman holds.

[Chorus]
Horn beyond the snow, horn beyond the snow,
Not yet calling, but all things know.
Under the ice where the black roots grow,
There waits the horn beyond the snow.

[Verse 2]
A brother's house is locked and bare,
A king's old vow hangs split in air.
The plough is stuck in iron ground,
The ravens circle without sound.
Odin sits where the mirror broke,
Thor says nothing through battle smoke.
Asgard gleams, but the gleam is thin,
A golden roof with winter in.

[Chorus]
Horn beyond the snow, horn beyond the snow,
Not yet calling, but all things know.
Under the ice where the black roots grow,
There waits the horn beyond the snow.

[Bridge]
This is not silence. This is breath
Held between a crown and death.
This is the pause before the name
Of every debt returns as flame.

[Instrumental Break][The tagelharpa motif slows into a funeral march under low tremolo guitar.]

[Final Chorus]
Horn beyond the snow, horn beyond the snow,
Not yet calling, but all things know.
Under the ice where the black roots grow,
There waits the horn beyond the snow.
Horn beyond the snow, horn beyond the snow,
When it sounds, the bound will go.

[Outro]
Sigyn kneels. The stone bowl fills.
Far away, the white world stills.
Three drops fall. The roots bend low.
And Heimdall dreams beyond the snow.
