The grieving ocean
The dying Rain
The sun is buried at last
The stars in pain
The soil like iron
Bitten by rust
The snow will raze the trees
Then turn to dust
Voices will drown
In Frozen air
The eyes of your kinsmen
Will not be there
So thresh your dreams
Upon the stone
And feel this curse
Fill up your bones
Behold!
The obelisk of blinding hail
Adrift and circling
Thy palace gate
Thy fortress walls
Risen from the brine
And the bones of beasts
Coiled in agony
Wrapped in Diamond dread
Pale skin casts back the sunless sky
Above the dust and flame
Scatter ash upon the black glass
Cracking and folding upon itself
I, the midwife of dread
The plumed beast of the wretched
Bring thee a frozen siege

Cursed by marrow’s rot
They twist and turn
The thunder hangs and burrows
Writhes among the weeping stone
A cloud of spirit the fog of decay
Call to the choir of ghastly dust
Wave-serpents weave through bones and clay
Thoracic sieve that will pierce the ground, become on with stone
Waves shall break on sky aflame
Barrow-bound in wind and rain
Follow the sun back whence the shadows had come
Shine of stars and bones unbound
On high seat he is found
Follow….
Through Turf, mud and roof decayed
Hand on hand, descend the braid
Barrow dweller, strong of hand
Lord of waves, chief of men
Then he grasped my leaving foot
Pulled me through ash and root
Wrestled there in dust of bone
All was dark before the throne
Jokul’s gift I drew and thrust
And the corpse-head fell to dust
Carry away, back whence the shadows had come

Death in Solitude
The Crawling night
At cliffside screaming
Beside the bloody sea
These iron claws
And death-bound mind
The bitter winds cry
Sanctum
Of broken walls
Dashed upon the jagged rocks
Windbourne
Sorcery
Track a grave bound curse
Trembling darkness
The fortress of stone
Echoes of mind
Alone in madness
The roof-rider
Who strangled my kin
Below I join him
And his hate
From beyond the grave
Blinded by moonlight
Now buried at sea
The corpse-fighter
Abandoned and shamed
No returning
Of the burning dawn
Blinded by moonlight and bled dry
To die alone
Beneath the moon
Beneath the sun
To die alone
Beneath the moon

Völur Toronto, Ontario
Drawing from folk melodies, heathen spirituality and trance-inducing doom, Völur weave a hypnotic web of chthonic noise on
the yawning gap of silence. A deep sound that moves through melodies, riffs and timbres slowly as a seeress chants rites for souls long past. Would you know more?
