[Intro]
(The track opens with a haunting, solitary church organ and a classical choir chanting in
Latin. Suddenly, a thumping electronic synth beat drops, shattering the medieval
atmosphere, as heavy, low-tuned guitars roar to life alongside thundering double-bass
drums)
[Verse 1]
(Clean, solemn vocals. The music drops to a dark ambient synth pad with a distant
acoustic lute plucking a melancholic melody)
Pitch-black torches fade in the crypt’s cold breath,
We broke the runes of stone, we courted death.
We sought a relic shroud, a phantom's thread,
But woke the iron wrath of the betrayed dead.
The dust is rising fast, the seal is torn,
A forgotten army of the damned is reborn.
[Pre-Chorus]
(The orchestration swells with heavy brass and epic violins, building up a galloping power metal tempo)
Hear the bones rattle in the hollow dark!
The ancient curse ignites a blinding spark!
They were the vanguard slain by their own king,
Now listen to the song of death they sing!
[Chorus]
(Explosive peak. Massive operatic choirs, roaring guitars, and a frantic synth melody driving the power metal beat)
Rise from the catacombs, out of the clay!
The empire of traitors will perish today!
No mercy for the crown, no tears for the throne,
The skeletons are marching to reclaim their own!
With rusted blades and hollow eyes,
Underneath the bleeding skies!
[Verse 2]
(Heavy electronicore breakdown.
Glitchy synths, industrial beats, and crushing, syncopated guitar riffs.
Vocals shift to a aggressive, harsh delivery)
Sacrificed! Forgotten on the battlefield!
Traded for a gold piece, broken on their shield!
No holy ground, no names upon the stone,
Left to rot in darkness, unmourned and alone!
But the kingdom’s debt is written in their blood,
Now the dead return like an iron flood!
[Bridge / Breakdown]
(The music stops except for a haunting, distorted medieval flute, then erupts
into a furious, lightning-fast guitar solo layered with orchestral strings)
Soldiers of the past...Judgement comes at last!
(Harsh vocals)Break the crown! Burn it down!
[Chorus]
(Final climax. Maximum energy with the orchestra, synths, and heavy drums firing at full power)
Rise from the catacombs, out of the clay!
The empire of traitors will perish today!
No mercy for the crown, no tears for the throne,
The skeletons are marching to reclaim their own!
With rusted blades and hollow eyes,
Underneath the bleeding skies!
[Outro]
(The heavy instruments vanish instantly. A slow, ominous medieval drum march fades out, accompanied by a final, fading electronic synth echo and a ghostly whisper)
The debt... is paid.
