[Intro – Funeral Choir]
The northern bells have lost their tongues,
No ancient hymn remains unsung,
Beneath a sun that gives no flame,
The winter kingdom forgets its name.

[Verse 1]
Once iron voices crossed the snow,
Where frozen rivers ceased to flow,
And every forest, black and deep,
Awoke the gods from ageless sleep.
The midnight halls were crowned with sound,
With thunder forged beneath the ground,
But now the torches fade to grey,
As unfamiliar dawn devours the day.
No sword was drawn, no horn was blown,
No army marched upon the throne,
Yet in the morning’s bloodless light,
The castle fell without a fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
The ravens circle overhead,
They bear the words the seer has read:
The crown lies broken in the mire—
The throne has lost its sacred fire.

[Chorus]
This is the end of our era,
The final winter of the crown,
The northern stars are disappearing
As the castle tumbles down.
This is the end of our era,
Hear the requiem of steel,
When the death of God was declared,
Even thunder ceased to kneel.
Raise one last song into the darkness,
Let the frozen heavens hear—
We were the fire beneath the snowfall,
Now the silence draws near.

[Verse 2]
The banners changed above the gate,
By hands that called surrender fate,
While ancient names carved into stone
Became the echoes of the unknown.
The smith still waits beside the flame,
But no one comes to claim the blade,
The strings corrode, the drums decay,
The wolves have turned their eyes away.
In candlelit and empty rooms,
Old melodies become our tombs,
A final riff, a dying chord,
The last resistance of the northern horde.

[Pre-Chorus]
The mountain keeps what men forget,
The snow remembers every step,
But memory cannot hold the line
When all the clocks abandon time.

[Bridge – Symphonic Choir]
On the day of revelation,
The angels turned their backs upon the earth,
They folded every burning wing
And mourned the silence of rebirth.
The castle collapsed into the ocean,
The death of God was proclaimed aloud,
The sun wore black above the kingdom,
And winter dressed the stars in shrouds.

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
This is the end of our era,
The final winter of the crown,
The northern stars have disappeared,
And the castle has fallen down.
This is the end of our era,
The last procession through the snow,
When the death of God was declared,
There was nowhere left to go.
On the day of revelation,
The angels turned away from earth,
No trumpet welcomed the tomorrow,
No choir sanctified its birth.
So raise the fallen banner higher,
Let its shadow cross the sky—
An era may be sentenced to oblivion,
But its music will not die.

[Outro – Piano and Distant Choir]
The gods are gone.
The angels turned.
The final page has now been turned.
The end of our era,
But not the end
Of what we leave behind.
