Fall of the Chosen

[Intro]
Ash in the air
Flames on the temple stairs
Silent sabers
Sleeping young hearts
[Verse 1]
Brother, you said my name
Now it sounds like a curse in your mouth
Gold in your eyes turns grave
As the world that we built burns down
You swore you’d break their chains
Now your hands pull the heavens apart
Knelt for a phantom pain
Traded a kingdom for a scar
[Chorus]
This is the fall of the chosen
When the brightest star breaks open
I see blue turn red in the smoke
Every vow you swore turns to ghosts
I won’t let go of your hand in the fire
Even as you sink in the cross-wired choir
On the edge of the lava and sky
Brother, why?
[Verse 2]
Echoes of marching steel
Thunder climbs up the palace walls
Angels in armor kneel
To a throne built on fear and control
She reached for the slightest light
You reached for a power that lied
You say the ends make it right
While the end stares back from your eyes
[Chorus]
This is the fall of the chosen
When the brightest star breaks open
I see blue turn red in the smoke
Every vow you swore turns to ghosts
I won’t let go of your hand in the fire
Even as you sink in the cross-wired choir
On the edge of the lava and sky
Brother, why?
[Bridge]
You were my hope
Now you’re the storm
Helmets rise like graves
To a broken oath (hey!)
I take the high road
You take the throne
Sparks in the black
Where our bond was born
[Chorus]
This is the fall of the chosen
When the brightest star breaks open
I see blue turn red in the smoke
Every vow you swore turns to ghosts
I won’t let go of your hand in the fire
Even as you fade in a stranger’s eyes
On the edge of the lava and sky
Brother… goodbye

Epic cinematic metalcore with male vocals; intro built on ominous choirs, low strings, and distant war drums that swell into crushing guitars and double-kicks. Verses ride chugging riffs, synth brass stabs, and dissonant strings under screamed lead; chorus explodes into soaring clean vocals over wide, layered guitars and choirs. Bridge drops to half-time with tom-heavy rhythms and orchestral hits, then final chorus modulates up with gang shouts and massive reverb on the last line., metalcore
