[Intro – whispered/low growl, clean undertone] (low, smoky growl with faint melodic hum underneath) Smoke on the horizon… the wind tastes like ash Footsteps through embers… no turning back The drums of war are calling my name And the flames will crown me in their shame [Verse 1 – full fry screams + guttural punches] Dragged through blood, I learned to smile in pain Every scar’s a trophy, every loss — my gain Your hands built my throne, your hate carved my crown Now I’m feeding on the silence after I strike you down [Pre-Chorus – high fry screams, sustained notes on last words] I’ve seen gods choke, I’ve watched kings fall You’ll crawl to the grave when you hear my call [Chorus – harsh vocals + faint melodic harmonies] KNEEL in the shadow of the warlord’s pyre I don’t forgive, I don’t tire This is the reckoning, no second chance I am the fist in your final stance [Verse 2 – gutturals on key words, fry screams for flow] Your bones will crack to the beat of the war Every scream a hymn, every breath — no more I’ll tear the heart from the ghost of your name Then burn the memory in gasoline flame [Pre-Chorus – high fry screams with clean echo repeats] I’ve seen gods choke, I’ve watched kings fall You’ll crawl to the grave when you hear my call [Chorus – layered harsh + clean harmonies] KNEEL in the shadow of the warlord’s pyre I don’t forgive, I don’t tire This is the reckoning, no second chance I am the fist in your final stance [Bridge 1 – guttural growls, slow tempo] Ash in the lungs… blood in the sky Every empire burns, and so will I But I’ll stand on the ruin, sword held high The last to fall… the last to die [Breakdown 1 – deepest gutturals + war chant with female gang shouts] BURN. IT. DOWN. (crowd shout) ASH TO ASH. (response) BURN. IT. DOWN. ASH TO ASH. [Bridge 2 – clean, haunting melody + growl underlayer] (melodic) The fire does not ask who it devours (growl) Flames know no kings… no gods (melodic) Only the strong… only the unbroken (growl) Only the warlord standing in the ash [Verse 3 – fry screams with guttural emphasis] I’ve walked through hell with the devil at heel Fed on the steel, learned how to kill Your prayers mean nothing to the fire I’ve made Your gods are silent when my banners are raised [Instrumental Break 1 – guitar solo + ambient war FX] (clean humming layered with feedback swells and distant war drums) [Breakdown 2 – call/response growls and cleans] Fall… FALL! (growl) One by one, I’ll take you all Fall… FALL! (growl) I’ll burn your world and watch it crawl [Bridge 3 – clean melody with sudden scream bursts] (melodic) From the shadows I rise, through the cinders I tread (scream) Every step is a grave, every word is the dead (melodic) But the pyre still burns, and the war still calls (scream) Until the last of you falls [Instrumental Break 2 – tempo change, blast beats → halftime chugs] (clean ethereal backing vocals sustained over heavy chugs) [Breakdown 3 – “crowd kill” section, guttural + gang shouts] CRUSH! (crowd) EVERY! (crowd) LAST! (crowd) ONE! (crowd) [Final Chorus – full layered chaos] KNEEL in the shadow of the warlord’s pyre I don’t forgive, I don’t tire This is the reckoning, no second chance I am the fist in your final stance [Outro – whisper + final scream] (clean whisper) From ash to empire… from empire to ash… (guttural roar) The warlord burns… and so shall you…
