Hrafnar (Odin’s Ravens) | Viking Metal

Описание: Hrafnar, the ravens of Norse tradition, are symbols of observation, memory, and inevitability. They are not messengers of comfort or prophecy, but silent witnesses who circle battlefields, kings, and the passing of ages.

This song focuses on Huginn and Muninn, Odin’s ravens, as forces of thought and memory that outlive gods and men alike. They do not interfere, they do not judge, they remember everything, and they remain when names, empires, and bodies are gone.

English Translation of the Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Ravens fly above the battlefield
black wings, a cold path
their eyes see where men fall
memory lives, flesh will fade

Blood in the soil, iron in wounds
they see all, they speak rarely
no judgment, no faith
only eyes that never flee

[Pre Chorus]
They watch
they remember
they wait

[Chorus]
Huginn flies, my thought lives
Muninn sees what the world gives
Words die, memory stands
the raven knows where the end burns

Ravens
eyes of war
ravens
memory of people

[Verse 2]
I step forward, they sit close
upon my helmet, heavy and near
I do not ask, they do not answer
they know where death waited

Kings fall, names disappear
ravens live, seasons return
they follow neither light nor peace
only the traces men leave behind

[Bridge]
I see myself
in their eyes
I know
what comes

[Breakdown]
Fly
see
remember
be silent

Blood
bones
names
reason

[Final Chorus]
Huginn flies, my thought lives
Muninn sees what the world gives
No god, no judgment
only memory that devours words

Ravens
above us
ravens
all is seen

[Outro]
They still fly
when men are gone
memory lives
in black wings
