Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] White scars on a frozen world Breath smoke in a dying sky Sirens spin like haunted birds We saddle up, we say goodbye [Verse 1] Walkers crawling through the dusk Steel beasts over broken snow Every heartbeat kicking dust Every friend another ghost You said hope was all we had Tiny fire in a hungry night But the ground split, black and bad And you fell beneath the fight [Chorus] This is the empire striking back Every star turned into ash Every promise under attack But I won’t turn, I won’t crash I’ll hang from the edge of the past Blood on my hands, blue blade in the black If it breaks me in half Let the empire strike, I strike back [Verse 2] City hanging in the clouds Gold halls, quiet, too kind Old friend with his head bowed Deal cut in the thin line Hear you breathing in my bones Mask hissing like a loaded gun “Join me,” echo in my throne I am father, I am son [Chorus] This is the empire striking back Every star turned into ash Every promise under attack But I won’t turn, I won’t crash I’ll hang from the edge of the past Blood on my hands, blue blade in the black If it breaks me in half Let the empire strike, I strike back [Bridge] Hand gone, heart torn (hey!) Falling through the storm Was it all a lie I wore Or the truth I was made for Call my name through the dust “Kid, just hold on, just trust” I am shattered, I’m not done I am broken, not undone [Chorus] This is the empire striking back Every star turned into ash Every promise under attack But I won’t turn, I won’t crash I’ll hang from the edge of the past Blood on my hands, blue blade in the black If it breaks me in half Let the empire strike, I strike back

Epic cinematic metalcore with male vocals: icy orchestral intro, choirs over distant toms, then a crushing halftime riff. Verses ride palm-muted guitars, tight double-kick, and low strings; chorus explodes with soaring leads, big gang vocals, and brass stabs. Bridge drops to eerie pads and whispered vocals before a syncopated breakdown with choral hits and a final melodic guitar outro., metalcore
