Shadow Army Rises

Step into the gate

Cold air

Steel taste

One swing

Floor shakes

They stare. I wake

Was the weakest in the line

Now the chains all snap behind me

Every scar became a sign

That the dark would never blind me

Footsteps echo in the dust

Every boss becomes a story

I’m the storm they tried to crush

Now the sky bows down before me

Glowing eyes in the black

Hear them breathing at my back

Snap my fingers

Worlds collapse

Say my name and watch it crack

Shadow army

Rise for me

From the ground to eternity

When I fall

You fall with me

When I call

You swarm and bleed

Shadow army

Rise for me

Turn the night into marching feet

I’m the king of the in-between

Bow down to my unseen legion (yeah)

Raise

Raise

Raise

From the grave

From the shade

From the deep

Obey

Obey

Obey

Every blade

Every chain under me

Every shadow holds a face

Every face once tried to break me

Now they stand and guard my place

Every doubt just helps create me

Finger twitch

And they appear

Smoke and teeth around the throne line

I walk solo through the fear

But I’m never truly alone

I

Feel the surge at my back

Hear the rumble when we clash

Step by step

We erase

Every god who thought they’d last

[crescending build

Chopped vocals]

Rise

Rise

Rise

Hear the roar

Feel the floor start to shake

Mine

Mine

Mine

Every life

Every night that I take

[low vocal register

Whispered vocals]

Kneel in the dark

I don’t need your mercy

Hands to the heart

Swear you’ll never curse me

Count to three

And the world stops turning

One command

And the black starts burning
