[Intro – Female vocals, atmospheric, building tension with clean guitars]
In the shadows of eternity...
The throne trembles...
[Verse 1 – Male vocals, low and gritty, spoken-sung like Disturbed]
Thunder cracks the crystal sky,
Legions clash where the seraphs cry.
Sword of fire in the prince's hand,
Against the serpent in the heart of man.
Wings like storms, eyes like burning coal,
The adversary coils around the soul.
Fallen star, deceiver, king of lies,
Rising from the pit with hatred in his eyes.
[Pre-Chorus – Building, both vocals layering]
We wrestle not with flesh and blood...
But principalities in the heavens above!
[Chorus – Male powerful roar + Female soaring harmony, huge distorted riffs]
War in the heavens! Michael rise!
Dragon falls from the burning skies!
"And there was war in heaven!"
Michael and his angels fight!
The ancient serpent crushed tonight!
Cast down! Cast down! To the earth he flies!
[Verse 2 – Male, darker and more aggressive]
Grit and sulfur, blood of angels stains the gold,
The great red dragon thrashes, uncontrolled.
Pride that shattered paradise,
Now screams defiance as the light arrives.
Claws of shadow tear at holy light,
But righteousness ignites the endless night.
"The Lord rebuke you!" echoes through the fray,
Yet steel and fury decide the day.
[Pre-Chorus – Female leading, ethereal and intense]
He was not strong enough...
No place for darkness left above...
[Chorus – Male powerful roar + Female soaring harmony]
War in the heavens! Michael rise!
Dragon falls from the burning skies!
"And there was war in heaven!"
Michael and his angels fight!
The ancient serpent crushed tonight!
Cast down! Cast down! To the earth he flies!
[Bridge – Spoken male (gritty) over heavy breakdown, then female response]
Male: The great dragon was hurled down... that old serpent called the Devil and Satan...
Female (haunting): Deceiver of the whole world...
[Breakdown – Heavy chugging riffs, male screaming/growling]
FALL!
FALL FROM GRACE!
CHAINS OF FIRE!
SEAL YOUR FATE!
No mercy in the cosmic war,
The faithful stand forevermore!
[Final Chorus – Full force, both vocals trading lines, massive build]
War in the heavens! (War in the heavens!)
Michael rise! (The dragon dies!)
"And there was war in heaven!"
Cast him down! Break his crown!
The light prevails as the heavens shake the ground!
[Outro – Female ethereal fading with orchestral swell]
Cast down... to the earth...
The war echoes... eternally...
