Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Harp in the hollow air Candles choke on smoke Shadows gather Breathing As the old bells spoke [Verse 1] Onyx feather on the stone Footsteps on the chapel floor Eyes like winter Burning slow At the rusted iron door He writes your name in crimson dust On a page that does not tear Silver scythe of sacred rust Cuts the weight of every prayer [Chorus] Angel of Death Azrael Come Guard of the gate where the cold rivers run Angel of Death Hand on my chest Lead me through fire to the silent rest (Angelus mortis) (duc me domum) Azrael Keeper of the final tomb [Verse 2] Choirs tremble in the dark Latin tongues and broken wine He counts each fading Fragile spark In a book of crooked lines Not a monster Not a king Only mercy dressed in ash Takes the crown from suffering Turns the thunder into glass [Chorus] Angel of Death Azrael Come Guard of the gate where the cold rivers run Angel of Death Hand on my chest Lead me through fire to the silent rest (Anima mea) (in manibus tuis) Azrael Open up the hidden skies [Bridge] [Violin and harp swell Drums half-time Choir rising] Si cadam Cape me If I fall Then carry me Per tenebras Per umbras Through the dark and through the haze Non timebo ultra I will lay my terror down When your wings eclipse the crown And my heart forgets its weight [Chorus] Angel of Death Azrael Come Guard of the gate where the cold rivers run Angel of Death Hand on my chest Break every chain of the raging flesh (Angelus mortis) (surge et veni) Azrael Walk me where the stars grow dim [Outro] Harp on the quiet stone Last light on the breath Soft voice over shattered bone “Dormis” Sleep in death

Double-kick drums and galloping bass under razor-edged rhythm guitars; soaring harmonized leads weave with dark string lines from harp and violin. Verses stay tense and mid-tempo, then explode into a faster, triumphant chorus. Latin choral responses answer English lead lines, with layered cathedral reverb and a dramatic halftime bridge that swells into a final, high-note key change., latin, power metal, metal, ballad, speed metal
