Black Flame

[Intro gong strikes, flute shiver, tribal drums pulsing, djent guitar drone] [Verse 1 syncopated groove, whispered grit] Stone split wide in the mountain's spine Fire crawled from a buried shrine Old gods fled when the pact was made Blood for power, light betrayed Iron crown with a serpent's tongue Cast from fire before time begun One man rose with a seer’s breath Bent the Nine and defied death [PreChorus rising rhythm, tribal flute syncopation] Scrolls burned black, runes screamed in air Chained the soul in temple lair Ash in lungs, frost in vein Swore the world would break or reign [Chorus full djent crush, clean sung overlay] March the path where fire sleeps Dragon veins beneath our feet Blade meets soul in every breath Honor walks the edge of death Temples fall, no gods remain Only will survives the flame Born to break the fate they cast Steel is truthand truth won't last [Verse 2 layered guitar harmonics, staggered syllables] Snow drips red in Narae’s grove Warriors kneel in lines they wove Spirit torn and silence sworn Hope is sharp where oaths are born Mage of glass and foxlight breath Saw the gate and walked through death Cursed to know what gods conceal Burns alive, but cannot kneel [Bridge halftime djent chug, tribal chants underneath] Name the clan Raise the blade Cut the mask Break the jade Ghosts still sing Through shattered halls Where the weak rise And tyrants fall [Chorus II melodic layering, harmonic djent swell] March the path where fire sleeps Dragon veins beneath our feet Blade meets soul in every breath Honor walks the edge of death Scrolls are ash, but names remain Carved in scars that speak through pain Born to fight, alone, betrayed Still we burn Still unafraid [Breakdown odd time riff, growled vocals] Black flame in marrow Steel in spine Echo of gods Long left behind Chain the sun Bleed the sky This is the hour We do not die [Final Chorus stripped back then surge] [soft intro] Ash to dust, flame to stone Every warrior walks alone [full explosion] March the path where fire sleeps Where even gods admit defeat We are wrath beneath the sky We are reason demons die Nameless, boundless, born in pain We are the storm They could not chain [Outro flute fade, heartbeat drum, whispered vocal] A seal cracked. A soul forged. A throne abandoned. Still we rise.
