It isn’t just a simple sound, it’s actually words. “Sorrow conquers happiness” is repeated throughout the performance, over and over again. Ragnar starts to sing faster and everything comes to life.
The chorus joins in and the drums and violin begin to pick up the pace. Slowly the audience is brought into a peaceful trance. The performance then ends, only to be restarted once again.
