[Verse 1] Ash on your tongue Smoke in your lungs You followed the drums To the edge of the world Cracked stone gates Teeth like thrones Every old prayer Turns back to dirt [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel it crawling under your skin? All the oaths you broke Calling you in (calling you in) [Chorus] Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Where every lost name burns in the dark Step through the howl and the iron rain Let it carve its mark Carve its mark If you came here empty You’ll leave remade Steel in your bones Blood in the haze Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Where cowards are crushed and the fearless are forged [Verse 2] Banners like scars Hung from the cliffs Skulls in a row Grinning for bliss Hands on the stone You swear what you are Either you bend Or you shatter apart [Pre-Chorus] Hear the broken Singing under the ground Every buried shout Rising up now (rising up now) [Chorus] Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Where every lost name burns in the dark Step through the howl and the iron rain Let it carve its mark Carve its mark If you came here empty You’ll leave remade Steel in your bones Blood in the haze Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Where cowards are crushed and the fearless are forged [Bridge] [Halftime riff Distant choir chanting “black flame”] Kneel or climb Choose your pyre Be the ash Or be the fire (hey!) [Chorus] Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Where every lost name burns in the dark Step through the howl and the iron rain Let it carve its mark Carve its mark If you came here empty You’ll leave remade Scar on your soul You’ll carry the name Welcome to Vale of the Black Flame Raise up your fists as the old world is torched

rock, Epic modern metal/rock: galloping double-kick, drop-tuned guitars, choir pads in the chorus, and a towering male vocal that shifts from gritty verses to soaring, melodic hooks. Tom-heavy pre-chorus builds into a massive, chantable refrain; bridge opens with halftime riffs and distant choral shouts before diving back into full-speed chaos., metal
