[Intro – Chant / crowd energy]
Ten.
One oath.
One kingdom.
One sun.
[Drums kick in]
⸻
[Verse 1 – Fast, confident]
Steel in the light and the banners high,
Crimson armor under open sky,
Ten deep strong and unified,
If war wants smoke, we let it rise.
Boots hit stone like thunder cracks,
Blades all drawn, no turning back,
Swore that the crown would never collapse,
We were the shield — remember that.
From the north wall down to the gate,
Every enemy learned our names,
Fire in blood, no fear, no shame,
Ten flames burning the same.
Kael at front with the greatblade lifted,
Seris laughing — too fast to hit her,
Darius steady, shield unbroken,
Nyx in shadow, already focused.
We weren’t legends — not yet written,
We were just young and unforgiven,
Didn’t see fate in the distance shifting…
Didn’t see the sky start crimson.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Melodic rise]
Sun still gold but it felt too still,
Wind went cold on the castle hill,
We said, “Whatever comes, we will,”
Hold the line together.
⸻
[Chorus – Big, anime anthem]
Ten under one sun rising,
Blades in the air, horizon igniting,
Hearts beating loud and defiant,
No fear in our eyes when we’re fighting.
If the sky falls down, we’re standing,
If the throne shakes, commanding,
One oath carved in our branding —
Ten under one sun.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Slightly darker undertone]
Feast in the hall but the whispers grew,
Prophets talking ‘bout something new,
“Red sun coming” — we laughed it through,
What’s a warning to warriors true?
Lucien quiet in the corner seat,
Said, “Every empire meets defeat,”
Valen scoffed like prophecy’s weak,
But I saw doubt when their eyes would meet.
Mira prayed at the chapel flame,
Elric swore that the gods would reign,
Orion drank to forget the rain,
Garron said pain is strength in chains.
We were loud but the night was louder,
Stars looked sharp and the air felt prouder,
Somewhere distant, growing darker…
Red touched edge of the horizon.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Higher intensity]
Sun turned gold into burning red,
Shadows stretched where we all once stood,
We said, “We’ll bleed before we bend,”
And meant it when we said it.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Bigger]
Ten under one sun blazing,
Steel in the sky, no hesitation,
Voices strong, no breaking,
No throne we won’t defend.
If the world tests what we stand in,
Let it shake, we’re not folding,
One oath carved in our branding —
Ten under one sun.
⸻
[Bridge – Ominous shift, drums drop heavier]
But when the sun dipped low that night…
The gold didn’t come back right.
Wind went still.
Dogs wouldn’t howl.
Castle bells rang without a sound.
Kael looked up at the bleeding crown in the sky…
And said—
⸻
[Final Chorus – Slightly darker]
Ten under one sun standing,
Blades still high, commanding,
Didn’t know fate was demanding
Nine to fall before morning.
Ten under one sun rising…
Red on the edge of the skyline…
We thought the fire was ours to control—
We didn’t know it was warning.
