Lyrics
[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)
