This song captures the tumultuous journey of Mira's youth, as she wrestles with her father's expectations and the fierce independence that Iceland's harsh, volcanic landscape inspires in her. It’s a story of finding light in the darkness, rising from the coldest stones to carve a path of her own.

Under the ashen sky, where the earth meets fire,
In the shadows, I found my desire.

Father’s voice like thunder, demanding I obey,
But my spirit’s like the lava, carving its own way.
Bound by tradition, yet yearning to be free,
In the heart of the mountains, I found me.

In the darkness, I found my light,
A rebel’s heart burning bright.
From the coldest stones, I’ll rise,
Under the ashen sky, I’ll claim my prize.

Hvísl í nóttinni, draumar fjarlægra landa,
I’ll break these chains with my own hands.
Frostið bítur, but I fear it not,
My fire burns hot, in every thought.

In the darkness, I found my light,
A rebel’s heart burning bright.
From the coldest stones, I’ll rise,
Under the ashen sky, I’ll claim my prize.

Through the winds that howl and skies that weep,
I find my strength, in caverns deep.
Jörðin skelfur, but still I stand,
With fire in my heart, and stone in my hand.

Under the aurora’s dance, in the icy night,
I see my future, burning bright.
In fjarlægðinni, I hear the call,
I’ll rise above, I’ll conquer all.

In the darkness, I found my light,
A rebel’s heart burning bright.
From the coldest stones, I’ll rise,
Under the ashen sky, I’ll claim my prize.

Under the ashen sky, my spirit flies,
Through the fire, through the ice, I rise.
