Myrkriða (Night Rider) | Old Norse Viking Music

Through black night and cold wind, the Night Rider comes down from the mountain — alone on his horse, beneath the light of the moon. "Myrkriða (Night Rider)" is a call into the dark: hooves in the mist, ravens overhead, and old words whispered as fate follows in his tracks.

Lyrics Myrkriða (Night Rider) [Intro] Hei ya hó! Hei ya hó! Ríða vér! Hei ya hó! [Verse 1] Nótt er svǫrt ok vindr er kaldr, ulfar gala í skógardal. Myrkriða kemr af fjallabrún, einn á hesti und mána ljómi. Skuggar vakna, steinar sjá, forn orð hvísla þar hann ríðr. Blóðrauð stjarna brennr í lofti, örlǫg fylgja sporum hans. [Pre Chorus] Hó ya hei! Hó ya hei! Vindr syngr nafn hans út! Hó ya hei! Hó ya hei! Nú skal nóttin vakna! [Chorus] Myrkriða! Ríðr í myrkri! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Ríðr í nóttu! Hó ya hei, hó ya hei! Myrkriða! Engi stöðvar! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Sonr stormsins! Hó ya hei! Ríðr hann enn! [Verse 2] Hrafnar sveima yfir leið, járn ok eldr fylgja með. Gamall konungr drauma sér, er hann heyrir hófa dyn. Myrkar ár ok kaldar brýr, Myrkriða ferr yfir þær. Engi ótti býr í brjósti, eigi snýr hann leið til baka. [Pre Chorus] Hó ya hei! Hó ya hei! Vindr syngr nafn hans út! Hó ya hei! Hó ya hei! Nú skal nóttin vakna! [Chorus] Myrkriða! Ríðr í myrkri! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Ríðr í nóttu! Hó ya hei, hó ya hei! Myrkriða! Engi stöðvar! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Sonr stormsins! Hó ya hei! Ríðr hann enn! [Bridge] Óóó hei! Óóó hei! Myrkr ok eldr! Ááá hó! Ááá hó! Ríðr hann fram! Hei ya hó! Hei ya hó! Hei ya hó! Hei ya hó! [Final Chorus] Myrkriða! Ríðr í myrkri! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Ríðr í nóttu! Hó ya hei, hó ya hei! Myrkriða! Engi stöðvar! Hei ya hó, hei ya hó! Myrkriða! Sonr stormsins! Hó ya hei! Ríðr hann enn! [Outro] Hei ya hó... Hei ya hó... Myrkriða... Myrkriða... Hó ya hei... Ríðr hann enn... © Runes of the North.
