(Ethereal male vocals — low, echoing)
[Intro]
Through the static…
Through the flood…
Something ancient wakes in blood…
(Female layered harmonies)
“Ooh-ahh…”
“Beneath the waves…”
⸻
(Male vocals — calm but ominous)
[Verse 1]
Black tide rising over the coast
Church bells ringing for the holy ghosts
Lightning splits the fractured sky
Another empire left to die
Teeth of thunder, eyes of flame
Every city chants its name
Coiled beneath the ocean floor
Waiting for the final war
⸻
(Female vocals — haunting melody)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the rivers overflow
Feel the venom in the cold
Every shadow starts to form
From the serpent of storms
⸻
(Both — explosive chorus)
[Chorus]
Serpent of storms!
Crawling through the static and smoke
Serpent of storms!
Wrapped around the world’s broken throat
No shelter tonight
No heaven in sight
Just fire in the rain
And the roar of the waves
⸻
(Ethereal male layered vocals)
“Rise…”
“Rise…”
“Let the sky split open…”
⸻
(Female vocals)
[Verse 2]
Satellite halos flicker red
Broadcasting names of the dead
Steel ships swallowed by the sea
Nothing left of history
Mountains shake beneath the sound
Ash and lightning raining down
Every king becomes the same
Dust dissolving in the flames
⸻
(Male vocals harder, almost shouted)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear the sirens cry
As the horizon comes alive
Every prayer deforms
Inside the serpent of storms
⸻
(Massive chorus)
[Chorus]
Serpent of storms!
Crawling through the static and smoke
Serpent of storms!
Wrapped around the world’s broken throat
No shelter tonight
No heaven in sight
Just fire in the rain
And the roar of the waves
⸻
(Bridge — atmospheric breakdown)
(Female whispering harmonies)
“Underneath…”
“Underneath the drowning light…”
(Male ethereal vocals)
I saw the oceans open wide
I saw the stars fall from the sky
No gods descended from above
Only the storm becoming blood
(Both building together)
Now the earth shakes
Now the sky mourns
Everything bends
To the serpent of storms
⸻
(Final Chorus — huge layered vocals and gang shouts)
Serpent of storms!
Hear the thunder tear apart the dawn
Serpent of storms!
Still standing when the world is gone
No fear in our veins
We walk through the hurricane
As the heavens deform
Inside the serpent of storms
⸻
(Outro — fading ethereal vocals)
“Ooh-ahh…”
“The storm remembers…”
“Ooh-ahh…”
“And it never forgives…”
