[Opening Chant – Whispered in Latin]
“Tenebris sumus. Lux non timemus.
In aeternum pugnamus, pro amore.”
(We are the darkness. We do not fear the light.
We fight for eternity, for love.)
---
[Verse 1 – Low male voice, slow and brooding]
In shadows bound by crimson vow
Steel and spirit, we rise now
Forgotten blades, the sealed remain
But time has come to break the chain
---
[Pre-Chorus – Female harmonics + choir]
Through the silence, echoes call
From the grave, we stand tall
Oni blood and mortal pain
In the dark, we rise again
---
[Chorus – Full power, drums + guitar surge]
We are the storm that never sleeps
Bound by fire, forged in grief
Through deathless nights, through cursed flame
We burn the world to love again
We are the Obsidian Flame!
---
[Verse 2 – Spoken breakdown, layered with heartbeat drum]
Six hundred years…
Locked beneath the ash of gods and ghosts
We were betrayed…
But the sword remembers every oath
---
[Bridge – Instrumental: slow shakuhachi flute solo with deep ambient drums]
(A solemn tribute to the fallen — fading voices of ancient warriors)
---
[Final Chorus – Slower, more emotional then builds to epic climax]
We are the storm that never fades
Echoes lost in endless blaze
From silent halls of shadow’s name
We rise to love, not rule, again
We are the Obsidian Flame!
We are… eternal!
---
[Outro – Faint whisper, child’s voice with soft wind]
"Lotus watches.
Blades remember.
The world will know kindness… through fire."
