[Intro – full orchestra + Latin choir]
(choir)
> “Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeclum in favilla…”
(spoken scream)
The day has come — the sky ignites!
---
[Verse 1 – screamed vocals / heavy guitars + strings staccato rhythm]
Thunder speaks with ancient tongues,
The end begins where it begun.
We built our gods in blood and flame,
Now judgment calls us by our name.
Temples fall, the heavens cry,
Saints and sinners both will die.
Every prayer becomes a scream,
Every sin fulfills the dream.
---
[Pre-Chorus – rhythm slows / ominous orchestral hit]
Beneath the ash, beneath the sound,
The broken rise, the lost are found.
---
[Chorus – screamed / massive orchestra + choir]
DAY OF WRATH — THE EARTH IS BLEEDING!
HEAVEN BURNS, AND HELL IS BREEDING!
All our faith and all our lies —
Tear apart the poisoned skies!
Dies irae — we are the flame,
Born to rise, then fall again!
---
[Verse 2 – faster / tight drums, strings swirl behind guitars]
Angels weep in static rain,
Their voices glitch through endless pain.
The world we made begins to rust,
Ash to ash, return to dust.
No crown survives the weight of time,
No prophet pure, no god divine.
The fire knows, the fire sees,
We were never on our knees.
---
[Pre-Chorus – deep, growled with orchestral swell]
Beneath the ash, beneath the sound,
We die as kings, but never crowned.
---
[Chorus – same as first, layered with female choir harmonies]
DAY OF WRATH — THE EARTH IS BLEEDING!
HEAVEN BURNS, AND HELL IS BREEDING!
All our faith and all our lies —
Tear apart the poisoned skies!
Dies irae — we are the flame,
Born to rise, then fall again!
---
[Bridge – orchestral interlude + soft choir]
(female voice, echoing)
When the stars forget to shine,
All that’s left of God is time.
(choir whisper)
> “Dies irae, dies illa…”
---
🔥 [GUITAR SOLO – 30 sec epic melodic run]
Key: D minor (Requiem key)
Style: Melodic phrasing à la Andy James / Jason Richardson
Build-up: Begins soft over strings → ascends into shred lines →
ends auf hohem Sustain-Ton, während das Orchester wieder einsetzt.
🎸 Think: “Eternal flame in chaos” — emotional, nicht nur technisch.
---
[Breakdown – slow, heavy, screams layered with choir]
Burn the heavens, drown the sun!
The end has come for everyone!
No salvation, no return —
Let the wicked kingdom burn!
---
[Final Chorus – full orchestra + choir + layered screams]
DAY OF WRATH — THE EARTH IS BLEEDING!
HEAVEN BURNS, AND HELL IS BREEDING!
All our faith and all our lies —
Tear apart the poisoned skies!
Dies irae — we are the flame,
Born to rise, then fall again!
---
[Outro – Latin choir + strings fade]
(choir, fading)
> “Dies irae, dies illa…”
(whisper)
The day of wrath… has come.
