Skadi, the Norse goddess of winter and the hunt, is a fierce figure born of loss. After the gods killed her father, the giant Thjazi, she armed herself and stormed into Asgard demanding justice. As part of the settlement, she was offered a husband chosen only by his feet — resulting in an unhappy marriage to Njord, the sea god. Skadi longed for the mountains, for snow, for solitude. She eventually returned to her icy realm, choosing freedom over compromise. This track channels her vengeance, strength, and wild independence — the winter that never bows.

Winter Huntress
Snow falls on the path I tread
My father's blood was barely shed
With bow in hand and blade of ice
I came to claim a blood-born price
They laughed in halls of shining gold
But in my veins, the storm is cold
I am no wife, no weeping soul
I am the mountain, wild and whole
The wolf runs silent in the frost
And I remember what I lost
I am Skadi — ice and flame
You took his life, but spoke my name
No throne, no ring, no god can chain
The winter huntress born of pain
Justice walks on frozen skies
I claim the cold where honor lies
They bid me choose a husband’s face
By feet alone, to find my place
I chose a stranger, not the sun
A matchless life had just begun
Njord’s warm sea could not hold me
I longed for peaks where winds fly free
So back I turned, with northern fire
To live alone, to climb, aspire
Let others kneel for peace and pride
I keep the ice. I do not hide
I am Skadi — ice and flame
You took his life, but spoke my name
No throne, no ring, no god can chain
The winter huntress born of pain
Justice walks on frozen skies
I claim the cold where honor lies
I hunt beneath the midnight sun
Where silence screams and rivers run
I speak with wolves, I climb the spire
My breath is mist, my eyes are fire
Let others dance in summer's glow
My power lies in frost and snow
The gods may rule from halls above
But I am carved by death and love
For every wound, the mountain calls
I rise with storms where vengeance falls
I am Skadi — ice and flame
You took his life, but spoke my name
No throne, no ring, no god can chain
The winter huntress born of pain
Justice walks on frozen skies
I claim the cold where honor lies
Father, feel me in the gale
In every blizzard, every trail
They tried to tame me with a crown
But I was born to bring gods down
So when the wind begins to wail
Know Skadi walks the mountain trail
With bow in hand and heart of steel
I am the storm they couldn’t seal
