[Intro – Whispered Chant, Male & Female Choir] Three heads howl in one accord, Bound in flame, and bound by sword. From shadow deep the beast does wake, To guard the path no soul may take. [Verse 1 – Baritone Voice, Slow and Menacing] Born of cinder, bone, and grief, Gladius walks with chained belief. A sword of night, a maw of flame, A cursed hound with no true name. He hunts not prey, but hearts that shine, To drag them past the light's decline. A judge of dusk, a boundless weight— The lock, the key, the wrath of fate. [Chorus – Full Choir, Rising Power] Beast of the Night! Breaker of dawnlight! Rend the earth, and shatter skies! Steel in flame, and flame in lies— Gladius, rise! Gladius, rise! [Verse 2 – Female Vocals, Ethereal and Haunting] Chains that bind were once his crown, Forged when moonlight hunted down. Three voices lost, three eyes alight, Each a soul devoured by night. Split the flesh, divide the soul, Threefold rage no man controls. One is hunger, one is pain, One will never speak again... [Bridge – Male Voice, Screamed or Growled] Ash to ash! Fang to flame! No sanctuary calls his name! No bell will ring, no peace remains! You face the dark that cannot change! [Final Chorus – Choir + Lead Vocals] Gladius, howl! Gladius, burn! Swords may strike, but none shall turn The tide of night, the storm he sends— The Beast shall guard until the end! Chains of dusk and sword of fire, Echo still the doomed choir— Gladius… never tires.
