[Verse 1] White tabards glowing in the tempest storm Whole band dangerous, hearth-fire born Village painted pale in the torchlit rain Every stone whispers our name White blades gleaming like a fang in the dark Cold eyes lighting up the old town’s heart No saints walking these roads tonight Just wolves cloaked clean in the lantern white [Pre-Chorus] Raised our cups in the underground sound Now the whole damn tavern shakes when we roar around No fear in our ale-bright veins Hear the thunder when they shout our name [Chorus] CARTEL! White fire burning through the skyline now CARTEL! Hear the hall make the whole realm bow Hands high by the low hearth light Ghosts in white taking over the night CARTEL! CARTEL! Empire forged from white noise [Verse 2] Bronze dreams and a drumbeat pace Cold grin hidden on a battle-scarred face Every strike clean, every step precise Danger always drinks better in white Street flames gutter when the war-band rides Kingdom full of schemers and alibis No reins when the dark runs wild Bred by chaos since we were children [Build-Up] One spark turns into a riot One tune turns the hall violent All white when we stride inside Like ghosts roaring back to life [Chorus] CARTEL! White fire burning through the skyline now CARTEL! Hear the hall make the whole realm bow Hands high by the low hearth light Ghosts in white taking over the night CARTEL! CARTEL! [Bridge – cinematic half-time] White roses on a blackened road Heavy oaths in the hearts we hold No rest for the kings below Only the lost and the beautiful [Final Drop / Outro] Cartel in the hearth-warm haze Built our throne from the ale-soaked days All white when the war-horn calls And the kingdom shakes when the empire walks CARTEL! CARTEL!
