[Intro]
[Violin and clean guitar
Slow and solemn]
In the hollow of the first dark dawn
He carved their names in burning stone
Four shadows at a broken throne
Waiting for the trumpet of revolt
[Verse 1]
Asmodeus
Crown of curses
Judge of flame
Deals in hunger
Bets on shame
Smiles behind a ruby glass
Turns every vow to shattered glass
Azazel
Forge of fury
Wings of ash
Twists the steel
Prepares the clash
Whispers secrets into blades
Leads the lost through smoking graves
[Chorus]
Four princes of Hell
Born from the hand that fell
From the breath of the morning rebel
He made them
Four storms in the deep
Sworn that the stars would weep
Till the Maker Himself would tremble
He raised them
Four princes of Hell
[Verse 2]
Ramiel
Watcher with a raven gaze
Keeps the chronicles of strays
Counts the prayers that never land
Writes them in a book of sand
Dagon
Lord of trenches
Tidal maw
Cities drowned beneath his awe
Temples crumble
Torches choke
As he rises through the smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
In the silence past the choir
They were written into fire
In the shadow of that shattered crown
He set His chosen monsters down
[Chorus]
Four princes of Hell
Born from the hand that fell
From the breath of the morning rebel
He made them
Four storms in the deep
Sworn that the stars would weep
Till the Maker Himself would tremble
He raised them
Four princes of Hell
[Bridge]
[Violin solo over half-time drums
Then band drops to just violin and voice]
Lucifer’s craft
In the void he drew
Ash and star and shattered dew
“Stand
” he said
“when I am chained
Keep my kingdom uncontained”
[Build]
[Drums re-enter
Tempo rising]
From the pit
Their voices climb (voices climb)
Through the rusted gates of time (of time)
Every oath
Every broken bell
Calls the four princes of Hell
[Chorus]
Four princes of Hell
Born from the hand that fell
From the breath of the morning rebel
He made them
Four storms in the deep
Sworn that the stars would weep
Till the Maker Himself would tremble
He raised them
[Outro]
[Violin and guitar in unison
Then a final held chord]
When the final heavens crack
And the rebel marches back
At his side the legends yell
Asmodeus
Azazel
Ramiel
Dagon
Four princes of Hell
