Valleys of Shadows and Death

[Intro]
Cold stone chapel
Candles bent and bleeding wax
Iron gates breathing
Names erased from shattered plaques
[Verse 1]
I walk the valleys of shadows and death
Old bones echo every breath
Ravens carve circles through a rust-red sky
I drag this rusted faith and wonder why
[Chorus]
In the valleys of shadows and death
Hear the choir call my name
Every heartbeat fights the silence
Every scar remembers flame
In the valleys of shadows and death
Where the graveyard winds confess
I will stand inside the terror
Till the dark runs out of breath (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Thorn-crowned statues
Eyes like broken glass
Whispers crawl sideways
Through the withered grass
Crosses lean crooked as the earth turns black
Every step forward feels like looking back
[Chorus]
In the valleys of shadows and death
Hear the choir call my name
Every heartbeat fights the silence
Every scar remembers flame
In the valleys of shadows and death
Where the graveyard winds confess
I will stand inside the terror
Till the dark runs out of breath
[Bridge]
[Choir swells
Piano rising]
If this is the end
Then let it sing
Let the bones of the world
Start to ring (woah)
If fear is a crown
I’ll wear it through
Till the night tears open
And bleeds out truth
[Chorus]
In the valleys of shadows and death
Hear the choir call my name
Every heartbeat fights the silence
Every scar remembers flame
In the valleys of shadows and death
If there’s nothing holy left
I will carve a path of thunder
Till the dark runs out of breath (woah)

metal, Hybrid metal epic: blistering speed metal drums and tremolo-picked guitars under a gothic choir and haunting piano. Intro starts sparse with solo piano and distant choir, then erupts into double-kick fury. Verses ride galloping riffs and male lead vocals; choruses explode with stacked choir harmonies and sustained power chords. Bridge drops to half-time with dramatic piano arpeggios and choral swells, then a final tempo surge into a climactic outro., power metal, speed metal, ballad
