Lyrics
[Verse 1][Female vocalist][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
In the twilight of the Nordic night,
Where shadows dance in moonlit sight,
Skadi, the owl, spreads his wings of gray,
In search of prey till the break of day.
[Chorus][Ethereal choir:][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Ooo-ooooh, Ooo-ooooh
Oooh, whispers in the winter's breath,
Oooh, secrets hidden in the forest depth.
[Verse 2][Female vocalist][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Through ancient pines and snow-clad ground,
Silent echoes in darkness found,
His eyes keen, piercing through the veil,
A hunter's heart, a ghostly tale.
[Bridge][Female vocalist][Low-pitched strings:][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Beneath the stars, where frostbite grips,
A haunting melody from ancient crypts.
[Verse 3][Female vocalist][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
A rustling, a movement in the chill,
Skadi's gaze, a hunger to fulfill,
A mouse, oblivious in moon's soft glow,
Its fate sealed by talons, swift and slow.
[Chorus][Ethereal choir:][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Ooo-ooooh, Ooo-ooooh
Oooh, whispers in the winter's breath,
Oooh, secrets hidden in the forest depth.
[Bridge][Female vocalist][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Chimes in the night, a spectral call,
Bells toll for the mouse, a final fall.
[Verse 4][Female vocalist][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Skadi ascends with his prize held tight,
Through shadows deep, where spirits alight,
A song of darkness, a dance of flight,
In eerie silence of the winter night.
[Outro] [Ethereal choir:][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Ooo-ooooh, Ooo-ooooh
Oooh, whispers fade into the cold,
Oooh, tales of Skadi, forever told.
Oooh, tales of Skadi, forever told.
[End with ambient soundscape and fading echoes]
[Tag][Male vocalist]
And so descents silence in the twilight
[Instrumental outro fading out to nothingness]
Outro] [Ethereal choir:][Glockenspiel and Celesta:]
Ooo-ooooh, Ooo-ooooh
Oooh, whispers fade into the cold,
Oooh, tales of Skadi, forever told.
Oooh, tales of Skadi, forever told.
[End with ambient soundscape and fading echoes]
[Tag][Male storyteller]
And so descents silence in the twilight
[Instrumental outro fading out to nothingness]
[Instrumental outro fading out to nothingness]
[music stops}
[song ends]
[end]
