(Genre: Death Metal – Tempo: Fast, Blasting Drums. Guitar: Down-tuned, heavy tremolo picking)
[Verse 1] - The Final Charge
(Grave, guttural vocals)
A crimson fog, the sulfur stench of fate,
My shield splintered, I kissed the iron gate.
Across the fields, a thousand standards fell,
The Emperor's guard, dragged howling down to Hell!
I saw the weak, the cowards turn and flee,
But in my veins, the blood of destiny!
The blade was hungry, singing in my hand,
A hero's life, judged on this brutal land!
A final swing—the darkness takes my sight,
Engulfed by chaos, swallowed by the night!
[Chorus] - Valhalla's Decree
(Lower register, deep growls with complex double-bass drumming)
ASCENSION! THROUGH THE BATTLE-SMOKE AND FIRE!
A THOUSAND YEARS OF GLORY RAISE ME HIGHER!
VALHALLA'S GATES ARE SHATTERED FOR MY SOUL!
I AM THE HERO WHO HAS PAID THE TOLL!
ECHOES OF IRON! FROM THE MOUND OF BONES WE LIE!
I SEE THE GODS OF WAR STANDING BY!
MY AFTERLIFE IS BORN OF STEEL AND PAIN!
AGAIN! AGAIN! I LIVE TO KILL AGAIN!
[Verse 2] - A Vision of Aeternity
(Mid-range growls, sudden tempo shifts, heavy palm-muting)
No pearly gates, no soft celestial light,
Only the forge of a perpetual fight.
I walk the halls where ancient champions stand,
Their spectral armor forged in a lifeless land.
Odin's gaze is sharp, a judging, frozen stare,
He reads the scars that time could not repair.
The tapestry of Earthly conflict unfurls,
From Troy’s demise to the conquering of worlds.
I stand among the legends, battle-scarred and proud,
The one who broke the legion, silences the crowd!
My deeds are carved in stone, a monument of might,
The true inheritor of the endless fight!
[Bridge] - The Undying War
(Building intensity, high-pitched shrieks layered over deep growls)
Listen, brothers, to the thunder of the past!
The empires rise, the empires fade too fast!
But I REMAIN! A spirit forged in strife!
The memory of my victory is life!
I wield the axe that slew the King's own son!
The war is over, but my reign has just begun!
I look upon the mortals, frail and born to lose—
My monument is blood, my eternal booze!
[Guitar Solo]
(Fast, technical, melodic tremolo-picking with deep, diving whammy bar effects, reminiscent of a charging army)
[Chorus] - Valhalla's Decree
(Return to full intensity, relentless double-bass)
ASCENSION! THROUGH THE BATTLE-SMOKE AND FIRE!
A THOUSAND YEARS OF GLORY RAISE ME HIGHER!
VALHALLA'S GATES ARE SHATTERED FOR MY SOUL!
I AM THE HERO WHO HAS PAID THE TOLL!
ECHOES OF IRON! FROM THE MOUND OF BONES WE LIE!
I SEE THE GODS OF WAR STANDING BY!
MY AFTERLIFE IS BORN OF STEEL AND PAIN!
AGAIN! AGAIN! I LIVE TO KILL AGAIN!
[Outro] - Eternal Glory
(Slowing down, heavy, crushing riff. Vocals: spoken/whispered)
The hero's rest... is but a fleeting lie.
Eternal war... beneath a blood-red sky.
(Final sustained, deep growl and feedback)
GLORY!
