Eldertide: Oath Unbroken
[Intro - Celtic choir hums in a minor key, piano tremolos, deep double bass pulses:] [Choral chant (Gaelic-inspired)]: "Lunara vehna solis, Aetheris lumen ignis..." [Verse 1 - Soft piano, violins & double bass swell]: The forest breathes in tongues of frost and flame, Moonlit bones of kingdoms whisper Filiara’s name. With Snorayt’s axe, they carve through starless veils— A ring of dawn to sever war’s cursed trails. [Pre-Chorus - Choir ascends, strings intensify]: Mountains weep their glacial tears, Eons hum in the ring’s mute sphere. “Blood binds the oath, but peace will rise— Break the chains, Aetheris, or let the world die.” [Chorus - Full orchestra, thunderous choir]: Oh, Aetheris! Crown of thorns and light, Their shadows climb where gods lost the fight. Through crypts of ice, through titans’ scorn, The ring will bleed till a new dawn’s born. Oh, Aetheris! Ghosts in their wake, Two souls against the void… for the world’s sake. [Verse 2 - Celtic harp, mournful violin solo]: Oak-tongued elders guard the ring’s lament— A hymn of gold drowned in war’s discordant scent. Snorayt’s scars map the paths they’ve braved, Filiara’s voice: “We’ll outsing the grave.” [Bridge - Choir whispers, piano vanishes]: Runes ignite on forgotten stones, A thousand graves cough up their thrones. “Not kings, not crowns— But blood will drown the night…” [Chorus Reprise - Epic crescendo, drums erupt]: Oh, Aetheris! Crown of thorns and light, Their shadows climb where gods lost the fight. Through crypts of ice, through titans’ scorn, The ring will bleed till a new dawn’s born. [Outro - Choir fades, lone violin trembles]: The ring’s first note splits the sky’s black seam— A sunburst scream. And somewhere… A sapling grows where the void had been.
