[Intro — Low Choir, Slow Build]
Ash falls like snow from a broken sky
Prayers die where the faithful lie
Gold crowns crack, thrones bleed red
History bows to the words unsaid
[Verse I]
Steel meets fate in the valley of kings
Oaths are chains, crowns have teeth
Banners rise on borrowed truth
Children of fire, forged in grief
They taught us to kneel
They taught us to obey
But rot grows loud
When silence stays
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drums in the marrow and bone
Every heart beats war alone
If this world must end tonight
We’ll carve our names in dying light
[Chorus — Full Choir]
Stand.
When the heavens fall apart
Stand.
With a blade and a shattered heart
Let the empire choke on its lies
Let the righteous learn how it dies
We burn.
But we do not fade
Through blood and ruin and broken faith
When all is lost and hope demands—
The blade still stands.
[Verse II]
Smoke coils tight around her breath
Love stands trembling before death
Eyes that swear they’d never break
Watch mercy burn for order’s sake
Hands that once pulled her from flame
Now carry the weight of her name
Trust is a wound that never heals
Truth is the sharpest thing we feel
[Pre-Chorus II]
Hear the cry the world denies
It shakes the stars, it splits the sky
If gods are watching, let them see
What happens when you murder mercy
[Chorus — Louder, Faster]
Stand.
When the heavens fall apart
Stand.
With a blade and a shattered heart
Let the empire choke on its lies
Let the righteous learn how it dies
We burn.
But we do not fade
Through blood and ruin and broken faith
When all is lost and hope demands—
The blade still stands.
[Bridge — Drop to Solo / Whisper → Rise]
Say her name in the ruin
Say her name in the dark
Love doesn’t die with the body
It sharpens the spark
Grief is a storm without end
Power answers the pain
From trembling hands, the earth remembers
What the tyrants tried to chain
[Break — Percussion + Chant]
Fall—
Let the crowns fall
Fall—
Let the lies fall
[Final Chorus — Anthemic, Triumphant Tragedy]
Stand.
Even soaked in loss
Stand.
Even when mercy costs
Let the world remember this night
When love chose to fight
We burn.
But we do not fade
Through fire, through sorrow, through the grave
When hope is slain by royal hands—
The blade still stands.
[Outro — Fading Choir]
Ash settles…
The war begins…
