[Instrumental Intro – low war drums, distant raven calls, icy wind] [Verse 1] Before the clans had names or kings, before the frost gave rise to wings, the North lay wild, a realm untamed, no banners flown, no glory claimed. But in the storms of endless night, as fire died and hope lost light, a single omen split the skies— a raven’s cry, a god’s disguise. [Pre-Chorus] The wind grew still, the world bowed low— for fate had stirred in ice and snow. [Chorus] The raven rose from storm and flame, and whispered forth a sacred name. A clan unformed, a fate unknown— the North would shape its future throne. Through blood and frost, through death and pain, a legacy began its reign— the night it screamed across the plain: the raven shall remain. [Instrumental – horns, rising strings, distant thunder] [Verse 2] From scattered tribes, worn thin by war, came wandering souls from distant shore. They bore no land, they bore no crown— only scars time carved them down. Yet every path and every fight drew them toward that omen’s sight. For in the snow, with wings unfurled, the raven waited for the world. [Pre-Chorus] A voice of winter called them near— a bond of blood, a vow of fear. [Chorus] — stronger, darker The raven rose from storm and flame, and carved the North with ancient claim. A nameless clan began to rise, to meet the frost with burning eyes. Through broken bones, through warrior’s stain, their unity defied the pain— and on that night the gods proclaimed: the raven shall remain. [Instrumental] [Bridge – whispered, ritualistic] From root and stone… from flesh and bone… a clan was born to stand alone. Oaths of iron, frost and fire— the raven formed their one desire. [Final Chorus – epic, massive] The raven rose from shadow’s throne, the North at last had found its own. A clan of night, a clan of might, forged by winter’s endless fight. Their destiny, in blood ordained, their spirits bound, their souls unchained— and every age repeats the same: the raven shall remain. [Outro – fading raven cry, slow drums] Thus began the story… of the Raven Clan.
