Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Knot the cord Thumb to steel Breathe in dust Of the battlefield Name tied tight To the family blade Every cut I make Writes the debt I’ll pay [Chorus] I raise my sword I seal my name Sworn to the silence Sworn to the flame If I must fall to keep my word Then let me fall upon this sword This is my oath This is my war Blood on the ground But never on honor Until my hand can’t lift this steel I bow to the code I do not yield [Verse 2] Cherry ash On a ruined gate Ghosts in the armor Whisper “do not break” Fear is a shadow Under my heel I carve one promise Into the shield [Chorus] I raise my sword I seal my name Sworn to the silence Sworn to the flame If I must fall to keep my word Then let me fall upon this sword This is my oath This is my war Blood on the ground But never on honor Until my hand can’t lift this steel I bow to the code I do not yield [Bridge] Kneel in the rain Helm on the stone (hey!) If I stand alone I still stand alone When the last drum fades And the sky goes cold I’ll die on my feet Face to the foe [Chorus] I raise my sword I seal my name Sworn to the silence Sworn to the flame If I must fall to keep my word Then let me fall upon this sword This is my oath This is my war Blood on the ground But never on honor Until my hand can’t lift this steel I bow to the code I do not yield

metal, Modern metalcore with Japanese folk color: drop-tuned guitars, sharp palm mutes, and half-time breakdowns. Taiko-style tom patterns and metallic percussion under male vocals that shift from venomous screams in the verses to a soaring, melodic chorus. Brief koto-style lead in the bridge, then a final wall-of-sound chorus with stacked harmonies and marching snare.
