[Intro – Dead Silence + Faint Choir + Stars Cracking]
No armies wait beyond the gate.
No monsters.
No screams.
Just silence…
…older than reality itself.
⸻
The massive black gate at the edge of existence begins opening on its own.
Not forced.
Welcomed.
Ash drifts outward like dying galaxies.
Then a voice echoes calmly through the multiverse.
⸻
(Valthrex)
“Enter.”
“You’ve earned the right to stand before the end.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – Entering the Gate]
No fire burning through the sky
No battlefields where titans die
Just endless space without a sound
Fragments of dead worlds drifting down
Every step feels cold and slow
Like time itself forgot to flow
No rage here and no war cry—
Just the place where realities die
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Uneasy Calm]
Even ShadowSing goes still
Like something here can break his will
Not through force and not through fear—
But by showing what waits here
⸻
[Chorus I – Heavy, Cosmic]
Ashen Game — now it begins
Walking through forgotten ends
Every timeline turned to dust
Every empire lost to rust
No Heaven left and no Hell remains
Only silence wrapped in flame
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Valthrex Appears]
A throne stands at the edge of stars
Beyond all worlds and all known wars
Valthrex sitting motionless there
Ash and galaxies in his hair
Six black wings dissolving slow
Like dying universes below
He watches us without disdain—
Like we’re pieces in a greater frame
⸻
[Pre-Chorus II – The Test Begins]
(Valthrex, calm)
“Tell me, Crusader…”
“After all the worlds you’ve broken…”
“Do you still believe you are saving anything?”
⸻
[Chorus II – Philosophical Weight]
Ashen Game — endless night
No more wrong and no more right
Every answer stripped away
Every certainty decayed
If existence always ends
What survives beyond its edge?
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Bridge – First Trial]
Valthrex raises one finger.
Reality shifts instantly.
The Crusader now stands inside:
* a dead Earth
* a shattered Heaven
* an endless graveyard of timelines
Millions of versions of himself lie dead across the horizon.
(Valthrex)
“These are the worlds where you failed.”
⸻
[BREAKDOWN – Psychological Weight]
No screaming.
No violence.
Just realization.
(STOMP)
Every choice
has consequences.
Every war
leaves ashes.
Every victory
kills something.
⸻
[Final Chorus III – Defiant but Exhausted]
Ashen Game — still I rise
Even knowing all this dies
Even if the stars collapse
Even if there’s no way back
I don’t fight because I win
I fight because I won’t give in
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Outro – The Game Deepens]
Valthrex finally stands from the throne.
The multiverse trembles instantly.
(Valthrex)
“Good.”
“Most break before reaching this point.”
A massive white fracture tears across reality.
Beyond it—
countless dying universes.
(Valthrex)
“Now let us continue.”
CUT TO BLACK.
ShadowSing
