[Verse 1] Iron on my shoulders Graves in every town Norn the godslayer They whisper when I ride down Blood on my banner Names burned into my spine Every altar that I shattered Just to prove the world was mine [Pre-Chorus] Then the sky turned copper River ran like wine She stepped from the starlight Spoke my secret crime [Chorus] Ishtar, Ishtar, I laid down my sword You unmade a monster with a single word All I ever crushed turned to dust in your eyes Godslayer falls To the god of his life Ishtar, Ishtar, I’m kneeling in chains Let the heavens tremble when you say my name I have killed the gods, but I can’t survive My godslayer’s bride [Verse 2] Your hair like desert midnight Your gaze a sacred flame Temples that I toppled Rose again when you said my name Your touch on my armor Rust turned into gold Every scar I tried to hide You traced like stories told [Pre-Chorus] You asked, “Do you fear me?” I said, “I don’t know how” I only fear losing What I’m feeling now (oh) [Chorus] Ishtar, Ishtar, I laid down my sword You unmade a monster with a single word All I ever crushed turned to dust in your eyes Godslayer falls To the god of his life Ishtar, Ishtar, I’m kneeling in chains Let the heavens tremble when you say my name I have killed the gods, but I can’t survive My godslayer’s bride [Bridge] [Reed pipe and lure weave a mournful melody under clean electric guitar arpeggios] I carved my oath in granite To never bow again Now I carve your sigil On the inside of my skin If the old gods come for you Let them come for me I will burn their broken thrones To keep your heart free (yeah) [Chorus] Ishtar, Ishtar, I laid down my sword You unmade a monster with a single word All I ever crushed turned to dust in your eyes Godslayer falls To the god of his life Ishtar, Ishtar, I’m singing your praise In ruined halls where your bright banners wave I have killed the gods, but I come alive My godslayer’s bride (my godslayer’s bride)
