── About This Track ──

The final chapter of the Nine Realms saga. A dark, sorrowful Nordic ambient piece evoking Helheim — the realm of the dead in Norse mythology. Low sustained cello-like drone, sparse mournful nyckelharpa notes with long decay, soft female Icelandic vocals carrying grief and acceptance. In Aeolian mode with descending phrases, a distant funeral bell tolls as the river Gjöll flows silently. Garm howls by the bridge, Hel sits on her throne, and the dead find neither joy nor pain — only eternal rest. Profoundly contemplative ambient music for deep meditation and quiet study.

── Lyrics & Translation (Icelandic → English) ──

[Verse 1 — Mournful, Slow]
Hliðin opnast í hljóðri þögn — The gates open in silent stillness
Garmur geltir en hljóðið deyr — Garm howls but the sound dies
Brúin yfir Gjöll er köld og grá — The bridge over Gjöll is cold and grey
Og Móðguður vakir meðan skuggar leyr — And Modgud watches while shadows dissolve

[Chorus]
Helheimur, ríki dauðra sálna — Helheim, realm of dead souls
Þar sem enginn grátir og enginn hlær — Where no one weeps and no one laughs
Hel situr á þröni í dimmu höllu — Hel sits on a throne in a dark hall
Og hvíld er allt sem eftir er — And rest is all that remains

[Verse 2]
Hinir veiku og hinir gömlu — The weak and the old
Hinir sjúku finna hér frið — The sick find peace here
Enginn bardagi, engin sorg — No battle, no sorrow
Bara eilíf og hljóðlát hlíð — Just eternal and silent slopes

[Outro — Voice Fading]
Hvíld... hvíld... hvíld... — Rest... rest... rest...
