Forsaken by the Hearth

[Verse 1]
Rusted shield
Splintered bone
Blood on the gate
Name carved in stone
They drank my oath
Then burned my home
Fed me to the frost
Left me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I begged the sky
It answered hollow
Every prayer
Came back shallow
[Chorus]
Hope is the chain I sever
With a scream that cracks the throne (raahh)
Forsaken by the hearth forever
Cast from the clan
From blood
From home
I tear out the compass
Crush what is left
Let the dark inside me grow
If the world abandons the broken
I become the final blow (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Wolf eyes glow
In my skull
Rivers of ash
In my lungs
Full
I wear the curse
Like iron hide
Mercy is dead
Buried outside
[Pre-Chorus]
I called your names
You turned away
So I carve my laws
In skull and clay
[Chorus]
Hope is the chain I sever
With a scream that cracks the throne (raahh)
Forsaken by the hearth forever
Cast from the clan
From blood
From home
I tear out the compass
Crush what is left
Let the dark inside me grow
If the world abandons the broken
I become the final blow
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to tom-heavy war march]
I was your shield
Now I am plague
I was your kin
Now I’m the grave
You left me starving
In the snow (in the snow)
I rise as famine
Throat of crows
[Chorus]
Hope is the chain I sever
With a scream that cracks the throne (raahh)
Forsaken by the hearth forever
Cast from the clan
From blood
From home
I tear out the compass
Crush what is left
Let the black horizon glow
If the world abandons the broken
I become the final blow (raahh!)

metal, Brutal modern metal with drop-tuned guitars in relentless tremolo and chug patterns, blast beats that lurch into half-time stomps, and guttural male vocals alternating with higher demonic screams. Viking-flavored minor-key melodies ride on harmonized lead guitars over a wall of distortion. Choruses widen with gang shouts and distant choir pads, creating a war-anthem feel as the dynamics surge from tight, claustrophobic verses into towering, apocalyptic refrains., world
