Beyond the Veil

[low bpm] [intro] [slow classical piano] [ECHOS] [slow emotional vocals] [falsetto flip] [Verse 1] Beneath a blood-red sky, where frost bites deep and shadows sigh, I wander through a land where darkness lingers long. Your name, a whisper on the wind, leads me through this endless night, Where echoes fade and memories slip like fleeting song. Odin’s ravens circle high, their wings a cut against the sky, But I refuse to heed their call, I won't let go, I can't let go. The Norns may weave their threads so tight, but love’s a force that won’t give in, I carry you with every step, through realms where even gods can’t know. [Chorus 1] In this world of shadowed might, where the cold grips tight, I see your face in every shade, in every flicker of the night. I call your name into the dark, but only silence fills the air, A cry that echoes back to me, a love lost in despair. [Verse 2] Through mist and root where the dead find rest, where Yggdrasil’s tendrils twist, I tread a path where earth and spirit intertwine. The howl of Garmr chills my bones, yet I press on, drawn by your light, For in this land of shadowed hearts, you are the fire that guides me right. Jörmungandr’s breath is near, a serpent’s curse, a venomous fear, But your memory burns, a beacon in the storm, Through every twist and every turn, through every shadowed, hollowed night, I follow you, though the way is worn. [Chorus 1] In this world of shadowed might, where the cold grips tight, I see your face in every shade, in every flicker of the night. I call your name into the dark, but only silence fills the air, A cry that echoes back to me, a love lost in despair. [Verse 2] Through mist and root where the dead find rest, where Yggdrasil’s tendrils twist, I tread a path where earth and spirit intertwine. The howl of Garmr chills my bones, yet I press on, drawn by your light, For in this land of shadowed hearts, you are the fire that guides me right. Jörmungandr’s breath is near, a serpent’s curse, a venomous fear, But your memory burns, a beacon in the storm, Through every twist and every turn, through every shadowed, hollowed night, I follow you, though the way is worn. [Chorus 2] [heavy metal] [powerful] In the grip of death, where the draugr rise, I see your form, though the distance lies. I reach out, but the night pulls back, A cruel game of fate, a bitter track. Oh, how I fight to break these chains, But the journey stretches on, with endless pains. [metalcore] [Bridge] At the gates of Hel, where loss breathes deep, Hel’s eyes are cold, like winter’s sleep. “Why do you seek what’s bound in death?” her voice is sharp, a blade, a breath, But I seek a love that defies the end, A bond no god can break, or bend. She laughs, a sound like breaking ice, “Love has no place in my dark hall,” but still, I move, For what we share is more than time, more than flesh, It’s the life within my veins, the beat that keeps me whole, And nothing here can take that, or ever make me less. [Verse 3] [powerful] Through fires that burn and frost that chills, Through halls where silence reigns so still, I carve a path with hands that bleed, For you, my love, are all I need. The beasts of Hel may tear and gnash, but they can’t touch what’s ours to keep, For deep within, beyond their reach, your spirit guides me through the deep. [screamed] Hel’s cold eyes watch as I press on, But I will not break, I will not fall. “Let the gods watch,” I whisper low, “For what we have is stronger still, Stronger than this night, this endless void, And I’ll keep searching, till you’re back where you belong.” [heavy metalcore] [Verse 3] [heavy] Through fires that burn and frost that chills, Through halls where silence reigns so still, I carve a path with hands that bleed, For you, my love, are all I need. The beasts of Hel may tear and gnash, but they can’t touch what’s ours to keep, For deep within, beyond their reach, your spirit guides me through the deep. [screamed] Hel’s cold eyes watch as I press on, But I will not break, I will not fall. “Let the gods watch,” I whisper low, “For what we have is stronger still, Stronger than this night, this endless void, And I’ll keep searching, till you’re back where you belong.” [Chorus 3] [raw emotion] In this land where light won’t shine, where shadows hold and twist the line, I call your name, through tears I’ve shed, But the night holds fast, no path ahead. For love’s a force even Hel can’t bind, And though the road is long, I’ll find. [Outro] [powerful] [sad] In the depths where hope is meant to fade, I wander still, through halls of shade. Your voice, a whisper, just out of reach, But still, I press on, for love’s my speech. The road winds on, through fire and frost, A journey through the realm of the lost, And though I haven’t found you yet, My heart will not forget. [screamed] For in this land of endless... night, I’ll search for you... until... the light. [FADE out] [END]
