[Intro] [Chant] Kal de ron Seh rah phiene Vo raH thix El-lah-raine Vor-tal-is Mor-i-ath [flourish] [Verse 1] In this darkened realm, Ancient tombs of Never lie, In slumber bound beneath a blackened sky. Oh rise my kin, ohh-ohh And come, have your way Come with us and taste The stars again. [Instrument: drum, hi-hat, two beats] [Chorus: [big finish]] Heil Empress! Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh Heil Empress! Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh Heil Empress! our Scars (of old) Heil Empress! Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh Heil Empress! our Scars (of old) [melodic break] [chant] Kal de ron Seh rah phiene Vo raH thix El-lah-raine Vor-tal-is Mor-i-ath [Verse 2] Focal intensity, her pyres burn to break their seals, A fractal wrath of wounds that time cannot heal. The ancients stir, their voices dull, their drives offline, "This is a fragile unity" the Empress cries. [Chorus; anthemic] Heil Empress! Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh Heil Empress! our Scars (of old) [Instrumental break: overdriven lead guitar solo] [Outro] In the dark They awaken, Align themselves to her throne, A Fleet forged in vengeance unshaken, Its scars are eternal, unknown. Kalderon walks in the ahhhhh-byss, Seraphiene wields the dawn, Vorathix hissed with venom’s bliss, As Zenith calls us hoohhhhh ohhh-woooohhhhhh ohhhhhhmmm! [Refrain: anthemic] (Heil Empress!) Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh (Heil Empress!) our Scars (of old) (Heil Empress!) [Instrumental flourish: 2 bars, overdriven chunky lead guitar arpeggio] [Instrumental flourish: 8 bars, overdriven chunky arpeggiated lead guitar] [build] [Chorus: anthemic, lead guitar chases vocals] (Heil Empress!) Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh (Heil Empress!) our Scars (of old) (Heil Empress!) Oh, They Shall Knooooow-ohhhhhhh (Heil Empress!) our Scars (of old) [instrumental flourish: drums] [Chant: drums chase vocals and organ] Kal-deh-ron! Seh-rah-pheen! Vor-aH-thix!
