⚔️ "The Draugr’s Call" is a dark, haunting song that brings the terrifying legend of the Draugr—an undead warrior from Norse mythology—to life. These cursed beings, bound by vengeance and greed, guard their tombs and rise from death to claim the souls of those who dare disturb their rest. With eerie chants and powerful vocals, this track recounts the chilling tale of Viking warriors who, lured by the promise of treasure, awaken the Draugr from its grave.
The Draugr, cursed to roam the cold, misty burial mounds of ancient kings, is a feared figure in Norse lore. The song captures the ominous moment when brave but unsuspecting Vikings enter a fog-shrouded barrow, unaware of the undead creature that stirs beneath the earth. As the ground trembles and dark spirits chant warnings, it becomes clear—there is no escape. The Draugr has risen, its decayed hand reaching to drag them to a frozen, cursed fate.

🎵 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In the mist, a shadow stirs,
Beneath the soil, the dead still yearn.
A cold wind howls, the night grows long,
The Draugr wakes, its grip is strong.
Warriors brave, they seek the mound,
Where cursed gold and bones are found.
But heed the warning, whispered low,
The dead don't sleep, the Draugr knows.
[Chorus - Chanting]
Draugr calls, from the grave,
No soul returns, no one saved.
Rise from death, cold and cruel,
The living fall beneath his rule.
[Verse 2]
A frostbit hand, it claws the air,
Eyes of darkness, empty stare.
The chant of death, it fills the cold,
No escape from the Draugr's hold.
Blood runs thick on frozen ground,
Silent screams, no living sound.
The dead rise up, their curse untold,
To drag the living to their cold.
[Chorus - Chanting]
Draugr calls, from the grave,
No soul returns, no one saved.
Rise from death, cold and cruel,
The living fall beneath his rule.
[Bridge]
The night grows black, the chants grow loud,
A horn from Helheim breaks the shroud.
The cursed dead, they seek their prize,
A soul to take, to claim their ties.
Cold hands grasp, you feel the weight,
The Draugr's hunger cannot abate.
Run while you can, but hear the call,
The Draugr waits to claim them all.
[Final Chorus - Chanting]
Draugr calls, from the grave,
No soul returns, no one saved.
Rise from death, cold and cruel,
The living fall beneath his rule.
[Outro - Ritual Chant]
Cold is the ground, still is the night,
The Draugr comes, devoid of light.
In the dark, he seeks your breath,
The cursed warrior, the king of death.
