Crimson Oath

Verse I Steel upon steel, the empire stands tall, Clad in red armor, I answer the call. Blades of silence, death in my hand, Praetorian Guard, by His command. Pre-Chorus No voice, no name, I am the wall, Crimson shadow, I watch them fall. Chorus (Martial, guttural, with choirs) For the Emperor, blood will reign, Through the ashes, through the pain. Red and silent, cold and true, His will commands — I break for you. (Industrial pounding — distorted echoes, metallic roars) Verse II Empires crumble, the stars will fade, Yet my oath survives, unbroken blade. Fanatic fire burns in my core, I bleed for Him forevermore. Pre-Chorus No mercy, no rest, I live to kill, Crimson sentinel, bound to His will. Chorus (Heavier, slower, more crushing) For the Emperor, blood will reign, Through the ashes, through the pain. Red and silent, cold and true, His will commands — I break for you. (Bridge — slow, echoing war march, mechanical chants of "Pal-pa-tine! Pal-pa-tine!") Verse III Even in ruin, His shadow remains, Glory in suffering, honor in chains. I am the terror, the crimson flame, In death eternal, I bear His name. Final Chorus (Massive, relentless, doom march) For the Emperor, blood will reign, Through the ashes, through the pain. Red and silent, cold and true, His will commands — I die for you. (Outro — distorted industrial sounds, heartbeat of machinery fading into silence, leaving only a cold echo.) ---
