a[Intro – War Choir & Orchestra] [Massive percussion, brass stabs, chanting voices] [Choir - Latin, shouted] Reges cadunt! Falsi dei ruunt! Ignis judicat! Cinis regnat! [Verse I – Female Lead] [Commanding, cold fury] You crowned yourselves eternal On borrowed fire and fear Built your heavens out of echoes Called decay “divine” and “pure” You fed on faith and silence You ruled through borrowed breath Now the balance comes to claim you And it answers only death [Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension] You called yourselves creators But never paid the price You forged your thrones from stolen light And named your theft “sacrifice” [Chorus – Full Force] [Nightwish-style explosion] Your thrones are made of ash and bone Your crowns of dying flame You are not gods, you never were Just tyrants dressed in flame Bow to the truth you tried to kill Bow to the end you couldn’t flee I am the reckoning you summoned When you chose divinity [Verse II – Male Growls] [Militant, rhythmic] Empires rot beneath their prayers Heavens crack from weight of lies Your paradise was built on screams Your eternity a disguise You fed the cosmos to your pride You bled existence dry Now taste the void you left behind And watch your heavens die [Pre-Chorus II – Female + Growl] [Call & Response] [Female] You feared the dark [Growl] So you became the flame [Female] You feared the end [Growl] Now the end knows your name [Chorus II – Extended] [Choir Dominant] Your thrones are made of ash and bone Your law a broken crown You wrote your names across the stars Now watch them burn down I am not wrath I am not hate I am the balance you defied And I will not kneel Before your fate [Bridge – Orchestral Breakdown{ [Choir chanting, war drums pounding] [Choir - Latin, rhythmic] Non rex! Non deus! Sed finis superbus! [Breakdown – Growls] [Slow, crushing] You called yourselves immortal But eternity rejects you I am the hand that ends the lie You were never meant to rule [Final Chorus – Ultimate Climax] Your thrones are made of ash and bone Your empire carved in fear The age of false divinity Ends now, right here No more crowns No more lies No more gods above the sky Only balance, cold and true And the silence after you [Outro – Choir] [Fading, ominous] Cadunt reges… Manet aequilibrium… [Spoken - whispered] You asked to be eternal. You forgot the cost.
