[Intro – heavy dark percussion and ominous orchestral swells, building tension] Verse 1 [Ominous undead male voice, deep and commanding over heavy dark pads] He rode beneath the golden sun with hymns upon his tongue The same voice that once condemned my sister when she was too young His eyes still burned with righteous fire when our blades first met He called me abomination — then I showed him what abominations get I moved through his elite like frost through summer grain The dead moved with me, silent, cold, and unafraid of pain He screamed their holy names as his formation broke apart But names mean nothing when the dead have learned to tear them from your heart Chorus [Ominous undead male voice with layered choral voices of the dead, powerful and vengeful] Lightbringer falls His golden light turns black Lightbringer falls And he will never get it back For every grove you burned, for every soul you claimed The shadow you created just returned the flame Verse 2 [Ominous undead male voice, colder and more personal] I saw his face when he realized the dead still knew my name The fear that finally touched him when the veil-touched called my claim He begged for mercy then — the mercy he had never shown I let him feel the cold I carry in these veins of stone The cost is always heavier than any victory we claim I feel the thirst still burning even as I speak his name But for the ones who lost their homes, their children, and their light I will become the monster if it ends their endless night Chorus [Ominous undead male voice with layered choral voices of the dead, powerful and vengeful] Lightbringer falls His golden light turns black Lightbringer falls And he will never get it back For every grove you burned, for every soul you claimed The shadow you created just returned the flame Bridge [Ominous undead male voice with layered dead voices, grim and resolute] [Layered dead voices] We remember… Every pyre… Every chain… [His voice] Then watch him fall. This is the price they chose to pay. Final Chorus [Ominous undead male voice, commanding and final with full choral and orchestral intensity] Lightbringer falls And the dawn begins to break Lightbringer falls For every life you chose to take We are the answer to the mercy you denied Lightbringer falls… And we are still alive [Outro – heavy percussion fading with distant choral echoes and a single undead voice] The light… has fallen.
