Eternal Requiem

[Intro] *(Grand pipe organ swells, joined by sweeping orchestral strings and thunderous double-bass drums building intensity)* [Verse 1] Moonlight bleeds on shattered glass A kingdom's ghost in twilight's grasp Ashes fall like rain, a silent plea Echoes of a lost dynasty Whispers coil in fractured stone Of glory turned to dust and bone A shadowed crown, a broken vow The requiem begins... *now!* [Pre-Chorus] The storm ignites! The heavens roar! Unleash the fury, settle the score! Through shattered gates, on wings of night! [Chorus] **RISE! From the embers, phoenix born!** **(Symphonic strings surge, distorted power chords c***h)** **Eternal Requiem! Sound the horn!** **(Thunderous double-bass drums blast, choir swells)** **No chains can hold this vengeful dawn!** **The throne reclaimed, the darkness torn!** **ETERNAL REQUIEM!** **(Operatic vocal soar, full orchestral and metal climax)** [Verse 2] Forged in fire, tempered steel The phantom legions march and kneel A spectral host with eyes aflame Calling out the traitor's name The pipe organ booms, a judgment call As ancient towers rise and fall The battle hymn, a sacred sound Resounds on this unholy ground! [Pre-Chorus] The storm ignites! The heavens roar! Unleash the fury, settle the score! Through shattered gates, on wings of night! [Chorus] **RISE! From the embers, phoenix born!** **(Symphonic strings surge, distorted power chords c***h)** **Eternal Requiem! Sound the horn!** **(Thunderous double-bass drums blast, choir swells)** **No chains can hold this vengeful dawn!** **The throne reclaimed, the darkness torn!** **ETERNAL REQUIEM!** **(Operatic vocal soar, full orchestral and metal climax)** [Bridge] **(Grand pipe organ solo, majestic and haunting, underpinned by fast-paced double-bass and choir chants)** *Oblivion's tide, we defy!* *Beneath the watch of a hollow sky!* *The final chord, the last decree!* *Eternity bows... to ME!* **(Explosive transition back into metal intensity)** [Guitar Solo] **(Fast-paced, melodic yet aggressive guitar solo over driving double-bass, symphonic strings counterpoint, choir accents)** [Chorus] **RISE! From the embers, phoenix born!** **(Symphonic strings surge, distorted power chords c***h)** **Eternal Requiem! Sound the horn!** **(Thunderous double-bass drums blast, choir swells)** **No chains can hold this vengeful dawn!** **The throne reclaimed, the darkness torn!** **ETERNAL REQUIEM!** **(Operatic vocal soar, full orchestral and metal climax - most powerful iteration)** [Outro] **(Final, sustained operatic note over fading distorted power chords, thunderous drum fill, choir holding a majestic chord, grand pipe organ sustaining, sweeping strings slowly fading into cinematic silence)**
