Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [War-horns calling, distant thunder rolls] [Verse 1] Ash on the wind Iron in the dawn Ravens on the shieldwall Tearing at the gone Frost on the banners Blood in the snow Old oaths carved Where the cold rivers flow [Chorus] Ravens and kings Once ruled everything On stone and bone They carved our fate Ravens and kings Old iron crowns sing Their black wings Still shadow our gates [Verse 2] Thrones built crooked From splintered spears Crows on the antlers Of long-frozen deer Feast smoke rising From skull and from stave Drunk on the thunder Of wave after wave [Chorus] Ravens and kings Once ruled everything On stone and bone They carved our fate Ravens and kings Old iron crowns sing Their black wings Still shadow our gates [Bridge] We are the echo Of boots on the ice We are the question The dead asked the night Who holds the sword now? Who dares to speak? When feather and crown Still circle the weak (hey!) [Chorus] Ravens and kings Once ruled everything On stone and bone They carved our fate Ravens and kings Old iron crowns sing Their black wings Still shadow our gates [Outro] [Instruments drop to drums and low chant] Ravens and kings Ravens and kings Still rule Our dreams

metal, Epic Nordic metal with downtuned guitars, double-kick drums, and male vocals shifting from icy growls in the verses to soaring melodic lines in the chorus. Toms and war-horns drive the intro; chorus explodes with choirs and tremolo leads. Bridge drops to sparse, low chugs and distant choirs before a final full-band onslaught.
