[Intro]
Ash gathers beneath the red eclipse
Five minutes left for the gates to split
A crown of salt, a mouth of flame
The dead rise up and forget their names
[Verse 1]
You drew the seal on the chapel floor
With a rusted key from the lower door
Every bell in the valley froze
When the black sun opened its eye below
The altar cracked, the pillars bent
The sky came down like an accusation
You held the match, you spoke the vow
There is no mercy waiting now
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the seconds on your bleeding hand
No god will cross this burning land
[Chorus]
Five minutes to Megido
Five minutes till the heavens close
Raise the iron, break the stone
Tonight the abyss comes home
Five minutes to Megido
No survivor, no throne
When the final seal is gone
We become what we called upon
[Verse 2]
Black rain strikes the cemetery glass
Names peel away as the hours collapse
Mothers bolt their doors too late
The river climbs the city gate
You hear the march beneath the street
A thousand skulls beneath your feet
The old world begs, the new world grins
The war begins where the end begins
[Chorus]
Five minutes to Megido
Five minutes till the heavens close
Raise the iron, break the stone
Tonight the abyss comes home
Five minutes to Megido
No survivor, no throne
When the final seal is gone
We become what we called upon
[Breakdown]
One minute
One breath
One match
One death
Tear the halo from the sky
Drag the burning angels down
Let the righteous learn to crawl
Let the final kingdom fall
[Bridge]
I saw your face inside the fire
Not a demon, not a choir
Just the part of you concealed
That chose the wound and made it real
The clock strikes four, the horizon tears
The last light drowns in a sea of spears
If there is a door beyond this place
It opens only when we face
[Final Chorus]
Five minutes to Megido
Five minutes till the heavens close
Raise the iron, break the stone
Tonight the abyss comes home
Five minutes to Megido
No survivor, no throne
When the final seal is gone
We become what we called upon
[Outro]
The bells return, but no one hears
Dust fills the mouths of a thousand years
At dawn, the world is clean and cold
And something ancient wears your soul
