[Intro] [ethereal female vocalizations, soft synth pads] (Ooh...) [Verse 1] [spoken male vocals, low string drones] At the very end of my life, when I was certain I was meant to die. There was no ray of light, no fire left to reach my eyes. [Chorus] [full orchestra and choir enter, driving rock drums] Only night, endless night, pure darkness swallowing my sight. And then I heard a sound, a distant sound beneath the ground. The march of the hunt. [Verse 2] [distorted electric guitar riffs, heavy percussion] I heard them coming through the dead of night. An army born from darkness, marching in perfect time. [female lead vocals] Their banners black, their armor cold, no mercy left, no hand to hold. [Chorus] [male and female duet, full choir] They came to claim the life of the fallen, to drag the defeated into the dark. We come from the shadows! We rise where the light has died! No soul escapes the darkness! No man outruns the night! [Bridge] [music softens, solo female vocals] And I could hear them closer and closer. [male vocals join] Their footsteps shaking the bones beneath my feet. [Outro] [full ensemble, maximum intensity] The army of the dark has come to claim its prize! Night! Through the ashes! Night! Through the night! Until the last flame dies! And take his life! No light! No mercy! No salvation! Only darkness and the song of the procession. [music cuts to low drone] [spoken male vocals] I saw their shadows, I felt their presence. I knew I was the next. [orchestral swell] [male vocals belt] And then I saw the knight, the first of them, the one who leads them from beyond! The knight has come, the hunt has begun, the horn is called! Claim the kingdom of light! Gone! [choir chants] March! Night! March! Night! [female vocalizations fade out] [spoken male vocals] The march of the hunt.
