[Intro] (Instrumental intro – Slow, clean electric guitar arpeggios over a mournful piano chord progression. Distant, ghostly choir enters.) [Verse 1] (Clean, emotional male vocals) The final order fell on deafened ears, The grand push failed, confirmed our darkest fears. All but the reserves, they heard the final call, Annihilated fast, by the great green squall. The wicked Glakrol, his work was now complete, Our pride and our army, tasted true defeat. [Pre-Chorus] (Vocals rise, subtle distortion on guitars enters) But the horror does not end with a final breath, The King, he now dwells in the shadow of death! Kograeth Shadowrock, his fate is now sealed, In the deepest rock crevice, his new life revealed. [Chorus] (Slower, huge Power Metal sound, High/Screaming Vocals, massive drums and bass) **SHADOWROCK!** HE WEARS A CROWN OF PAIN! **SHADOWROCK!** HE COMMANDS THE UNLIVING SHAME! A LICH OF OUR KING! A NECROMANCER'S JOKE! GLAKROL'S TRUE POWER! THE FIRE OF LIFE HE STOLE! [Verse 2] (Clean vocals, somber, focused on the terror) It's whispered by those who escaped the dark mines, That Glakrol the chemist, crossed ancient lines. He was not just science, not powder and fume, He's a creature of darkness, that seals a kingdom's doom. Our fallen ranks, now move where he wills, A ghostly legion marching, over forgotten hills. [Bridge/Solo] (Instrumental Bridge, slow build with drums, leading into a soaring, highly melodic, and emotional guitar solo. Tempo remains slow and dramatic.) [Chorus] (Full, devastating Power Metal, Highest Vocals, maximum drama) **SHADOWROCK!** HE WEARS A CROWN OF PAIN! **SHADOWROCK!** HE COMMANDS THE UNLIVING SHAME! A LICH OF OUR KING! A NECROMANCER'S JOKE! GLAKROL'S TRUE POWER! THE FIRE OF LIFE HE STOLE! [Outro] (Vocals fade, whispered/spoken over slow piano and fading clean guitar) ...He commands dwarves no more... In the shadows once abhorred... ...He's truly been sent straight to Hell... Where his once mortal enemies surround him well (Piano chord hangs, fades to silence.)
