[Intro – Spoken / Low Thunder] The shore disappeared behind us. The sky turned iron. The sea opened its jaws. And still… We rowed. [Verse 1 – Fast Rap / Rising War Drums] Black sea raging with the moon split wide, Salt in my lungs, but I’m still alive. Longship cracked with a storm on deck, Hands full of rope and a heart full of wreck. I heard the thunder call my name, Felt old blood wake in a blue-white flame. Every wave came swinging like a giant’s fist, But I bit down hard and I screamed through it. No map. No light. Just ravens cutting through the night. No crown. No gold. Just ancient fire in a broken soul. The ancestors stood on the distant shore, Saying, “Child, you were made for more.” So I pulled that oar like I pulled through pain, Every stroke was a curse breaking off my name. [Pre-Chorus – Chant / Deep Drums] For the ones who crossed before, Through the hunger, through the war. For the hands that carved the way, Through the frost and through the grave. We carry breath they never lost, We carry love through any cost. We do not sink. We do not fade. We are the storm their courage made. [Chorus – Screamed / Full Band] ROW THROUGH THE BLACK SEA! SCREAM AT THE SKY! WE WERE BORN FROM THE ASH AND WE REFUSE TO DIE! HOLD FAST! HEARTS BURN! LET THE OLD WORLD CRACK WHILE THE NEW TIDE TURNS! SIDE BY SIDE! BLADE AND BONE! WE FACE THE STORM NO LONGER ALONE! LET KINGDOMS DROWN! LET EMPIRES FALL! OUR LOVE IS THE WAR HORN THAT SHATTERS THEM ALL! [Verse 2 – Aggressive Rap / Heavier Guitars] You were the fire on the far black wave, A lighthouse soul that the night couldn’t take. I saw your scars glowing under your skin, Like runes carved deep where the gods walked in. You said, “I’ve drowned in this dark before, I know the shape of a locked heart’s door. But I kept one spark in my ribcage tight, Waiting for someone who could hold it right.” So I reached through the rain with a bloodied hand, Two lost souls with no promised land. But we made one there on the waves and foam, Turned a sinking ship into a sacred home. They can keep their halls. They can keep their throne. We built a kingdom from storm and bone. They can throw their spears. They can curse our names. We’ll carve their doubt into funeral flames. [Breakdown – Screamed / Brutal Half-Time] I WILL NOT SINK! I WILL NOT CRAWL! I HEAR THE DEAD WHEN THE NIGHT WINDS CALL! PULL THE OAR! RAISE THE FLAME! EVERY SCAR KNOWS MY NAME! NO KING! NO CHAIN! NO GRAVE! NO SHAME! LOVE IS THE AXE AND WE SWING THROUGH PAIN! [Bridge – Emotional / Melodic Rap] When the sea gets cruel and the cold gets loud, When the stars hide deep behind funeral clouds, I’ll remember the ones who stood in the rain, Who gave us their courage through blood and name. I’ll remember your voice when my hands go weak, When the waves climb high and the old ghosts speak. You’ll say, “Keep rowing. The dawn still knows. Even in darkness, the fire grows.” And I’ll believe it. I’ll breathe it. I’ll wear it like armor beneath my grief. Because I am not the wreckage behind me, And you are not the cage they designed. We are more. We are flame. We are love with an ancient name. [Final Chorus – Screamed / Layered Vocals] ROW THROUGH THE BLACK SEA! SCREAM AT THE SKY! WE WERE BORN FROM THE ASH AND WE REFUSE TO DIE! HOLD FAST! HEARTS BURN! LET THE OLD WORLD CRACK WHILE THE NEW TIDE TURNS! SIDE BY SIDE! BLADE AND BONE! WE FACE THE STORM NO LONGER ALONE! LET KINGDOMS DROWN! LET EMPIRES FALL! OUR LOVE IS THE WAR HORN THAT SHATTERS THEM ALL! [Outro – Whispered Chant / Fading Oars and Thunder] The shore is gone. The dawn is near. The dead are singing. We do not fear. Black sea below. Storm sky above. Two hands locked tight. One kingdom of love.
