Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Choir rising Wordless] Ahh— Ahh— Ahhh— Raise the hall Let shadows climb Crowns of ash on broken time Steel on stone The silence cracks We march in black We march in black [Verse 1] Torches drip on rusted banners Names erased by mold and smoke Every oath we swore in anger Burned into our throats Boot prints on the fallen statues Glass ground into sacred floors Every god we carved in marble Shattered at our doors [Chorus 1] I will not kneel to a dying throne Carved my creed in blood and bone If this is war Then let it roar I was made for fire and storm I will not bleed for a rusted crown Tear your kingdom Drag it down If this is war Then hear me sworn I was made for fire and storm (for storm) [Choir underlay Distant] (For storm, for storm) (Arise, arise) [Verse 2] Ash still clings to silver armor Stains that rivers never cleanse Every scar a crooked scripture Written where the story bends Trumpets choke on dust and fury Drums collapse in crooked time Yet my pulse keeps beating louder Hammer to your hollow chimes [Chorus 2] Sing my name like a battle cry Let it crack through a blood-red sky If this is pain Then let it stay I was born to break that cage Sing my name where the torches die Watch your tattered banners fry If this is fate I’ll set it straight I was born to break that cage (that cage) [Choir weaving in] (Oh—rise, rise) (Oh—break that cage) [Verse 3] Smoke curls up from buried cities Bones of towers in the rain On the walls Our faded warnings Carved in every vein You can drown the world in thunder Drown the sun in pitch and tar Still we stand A tooth and whisper Grinning at your dying star [Chorus 3] This is the crown of the undying Forged in the roar and the crying From every loss A louder voice We were never given We’re the choice This is the throne of the defiant Heart of the wolf Not the client From every fall A higher climb We were never yours in the first place—now you’re mine [Choir + band Final hit] (Undying—undying) [Guitars and choir ring out]

metal, Epic theatrical metal with male vocals over detuned, palm-muted guitars and double-kick drums. Choir swells open the track in a rising minor progression, then drops behind the band as a distant, ominous wall of sound. Each verse builds from tight, syncopated riffing to wider, open chords, with three distinct, hooky choruses that escalate in intensity. Orchestral hits, tom runs, and tremolo-picked leads interlock with the background choir for a cinematic, battlefield feel; final chorus adds stacked gang vocals and a soaring guitar harmony line.
