Myrkvidr-The Ones Before Us #Pagan #Heathen #NorsePagan #RitualMusic #DarkFolk #NordicFolk #Ásatrú

THE ONES BEFORE US Can you hear them? Beyond the fire. Beyond the trees. Beyond the years. They are calling. A solemn ritual of remembrance for the ancestors — the mothers and fathers, the ones who endured hunger, cold, loss, and darkness so that we could stand here today. Their blood is our blood. Their story is our story. The fire still burns. Listen. The wind remembers. The earth remembers. The blood remembers. Lyrics: [INTRO] Can you hear them? Listen. Beyond the fire. Beyond the trees. Beyond the years. They are calling. Heyrir þú...? Can you hear? [VERSE I] I stand beneath the ancient trees With my feet upon the ground And though the night is silent I can hear a distant sound Voices carried through the ages Whispering my name Not ghosts, not shadows But the blood from which I came I see them in the firelight I feel them in the rain Every breath that fills my lungs Was purchased by their pain They walked before I ever knew The road beneath my feet And every step I take today Is where their paths and mine now meet [PRE-CHORUS] Before my name was spoken Before my face was known They carried life through darkness So I would not walk alone [CHORUS] The ones before us Stand within the flame We remember We speak their names You are the roots beneath us We are the branches reaching high You gave us tomorrow Without knowing if you’d see the sky Forfeðr... Ancestors, hear us now. We remember. We do not forget. [VERSE II] Mothers who held their children When the winter would not end Women who buried those they loved And still rose up again Hands that gathered food from earth Hands that worked until they bled Hands that held the dying close And hands that laid them in the dead You gave more than you ever knew You gave what can’t be repaid Your courage became our courage Your sacrifices became our way And when I feel that I am weak When I think I cannot stand I hear the women of my blood Saying, “Rise. You still can.” [VERSE III] Fathers who faced the bitter cold And storms they could not tame Men who carried heavy burdens So their children could remain Warriors who never came back home Travelers lost at sea Farmers turning stubborn earth To leave a life for those they’d never see You fought battles without knowing Who would carry on your name But here I stand beneath the stars And I carry you the same Not because you were without fear Not because you never fell But because you rose again Every time the darkness came [RITUAL BREAK] Listen... The wind remembers. Listen... The earth remembers. Listen... The fire remembers. Listen... And the blood remembers. [CHORUS] The ones before us Stand within the flame We remember We speak their names You are the roots beneath us We are the branches reaching high You gave us tomorrow Without knowing if you’d see the sky You endured the hunger You endured the cold You carried the story That we carry now Forfeðr... Hear our voices. Forfeðr... Receive our thanks. [BRIDGE] If you are listening... Know this. Your life was not forgotten. Your tears were not forgotten. Your suffering was not forgotten. Your love was not forgotten. Every meal you went without Every night you stayed awake Every child you held close Every sacrifice you made... Lives within us. [ANCESTRAL VOICES] Remember us. Remember where you came from. Remember the hands that carried you. Remember the hearts that loved you. Remember the ones whose names Were lost to time. Mundu... Remember. [BUILD] I am not the beginning. I am not the end. I am the living thread Between what was And what will be. The blood continues. The story continues. The fire continues. The lineage continues. [FINAL CHORUS] THE ONES BEFORE US! WE REMEMBER! THE ONES BEFORE US! WE HONOR YOU! For every breath — THANK YOU. For every sunrise — THANK YOU. For every life — THANK YOU. For bringing us here — THANK YOU. You are the roots. We are the branches. And the tree still lives. [FINAL RITUAL] Forfeðr... We remember. Forfeðr... We honor you. Ekki gleyma... Do not forget. The fire burns. The blood remembers. The story continues. Mundu. Remember. [OUTRO] We are not gone. We are in the wind. We are in the earth. We are in the fire. We are in you. Remember us.
