[Intro]
Ash on my armor, iron in my hands
I crossed the dead miles of a broken land
No crown was promised, no mercy was sworn
I rose from the ruin where the outcast mourned
[Verse 1]
The gods built their towers from bone and decree
They sealed every road, but they couldn't seal me
A tarnished blade flashing under dead skies
I carry the names of the fallen in mine
The queen sits guarded by gold and flame
Her law is a chain, her glory a cage
But I have crawled through the teeth of the night
And every impossible gate bows tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the heavens crack
Let the old blood run
I will not turn back
Till the last throne comes undone
[Chorus]
I ride against all odds, I rise where the mighty fall
I will tear down the gods till the silence answers my call
Queen Marika, hear the steel beneath this battle cry
I will claim the Elden Ring or burn beneath the sky
Then I’ll sit on the Elden throne
Under the great Erdtree alone
[Verse 2]
The giants are waking, the red earth is torn
The wolves of the dusk have remembered the storm
I have crossed poisoned rivers and catacomb halls
With a cracked old shield and a heart made of walls
No blessing can buy me, no curse can command
I sharpen my fate on the edge of my hand
If grace is a leash, then I sever the thread
And walk through the kingdom of beautiful dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the heavens crack
Let the old blood run
I will not turn back
Till the last throne comes undone
[Chorus]
I ride against all odds, I rise where the mighty fall
I will tear down the gods till the silence answers my call
Queen Marika, hear the steel beneath this battle cry
I will claim the Elden Ring or burn beneath the sky
Then I’ll sit on the Elden throne
Under the great Erdtree alone
[Bridge]
One last gate, one last breath
One last duel with the hands of death
If the sacred crown demands my soul
I’ll take the crown and break the mold
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
I ride against all odds, I rise where the mighty fall
I have shattered the gods and outlived them all
Queen Marika, hear the final thunder roll
The Elden Ring is mine, and the throne is my soul
Now I sit on the Elden throne
Under the great Erdtree alone
[Outro]
Ash on my armor, dawn in my eyes
The old world is silent beneath broken skies
No god, no queen, no law left to defend
The tarnished has conquered, and this is the end
