[Intro: Epic instrumental, grand orchestra swells with heavy, distorted guitar riff and war drums] (Male, deep growl) [Verse 1] Winter descends, a curtain of night, The great wall of ice, a pale, chilling light. Stark banners tattered, in the frost-bitten air, Whispers of shadows, consumed by despair. (Male, clean/operatic vocals) [Pre-Chorus] But the raven still flies through the gathering storm, A promise of fire, keeping the heart warm. (Male, deep guttural vocals) [Chorus: Crushing, intense blast beats] By the Iron Throne, blood and steel shall decide! For the realm of men, where the dragons shall ride! Darkness will fall, and the dead shall arise! A battle of kings, beneath weeping skies! [Verse 2: Tempo slows to a doom metal pace, heavy bass, somber mood] The crypts of the North, they groan with the dead, Ancient old secrets, silently spread. A crown forged in fire, a pact sworn in blood, Westeros trembles beneath the dark flood. (Male, clean/operatic vocals) [Pre-Chorus] But the raven still flies through the gathering storm, A promise of fire, keeping the heart warm. (Male, deep guttural vocals) [Chorus: Crushing, intense blast beats] By the Iron Throne, blood and steel shall decide! For the realm of men, where the dragons shall ride! Darkness will fall, and the dead shall arise! A battle of kings, beneath weeping skies! [Bridge: Cinematic orchestral break, building tension with cello and violins] The long night approaches, an endless despair, Swords clash in the darkness, a scream fills the air. Honor and glory, a price paid in full, The cycle of power, the strong and the null. [Outro: Extended instrumental climax, fading to the sound of wind and a lone cello] [End]
