[Intro: low industrial drone, distant hammer strikes, ritual choir] Gods die. We knew that already. Time can take us. War can break us. Memory can bury us. [Metallic impact] But this was different. Someone learned how to make it happen. [Verse 1: low clean vocal, mechanical rhythm] I found the chamber under Morvane Past the graves he never names Black iron fused with sacred stone And scorch marks without flame No altar No crown No relic meant for prayer Just something built with measurements Like whoever made it Knew exactly what we were There were diagrams of Solvar Veins of fire mapped in gold Vaelune’s tides reduced to numbers Every weakness written cold [Pre-Chorus: tension rising] Not worship Not prophecy Not fear dressed up as faith This was anatomy And somebody had learned Where gods could break [Chorus: massive melodic metalcore] GODKILLER Made to put immortals in the ground No prayer No throne No resurrection Once it finds you You stay down You can call yourself eternal You can make creation kneel But somebody found the difference BETWEEN A GOD AND SOMETHING THAT CAN BLEED Godkiller And it was made for us [Verse 2: heavier guitars] Serathiel called it blasphemy Kaelor called it cowardice Orun stared at every blueprint Like he’d seen the hand that made it Nythra wouldn't touch the metal Vaelune whispered, “Not again” And Morvane stood between me And the final chamber’s end That was when I understood They knew They all knew [Pre-Chorus 2] There are graves beneath the mountains That death did not create There are names Morvane refuses Because someone chose their fate [Chorus] GODKILLER Made to put immortals in the ground No prayer No throne No resurrection Once it finds you You stay down You can call yourself eternal You can make creation kneel But somebody found the difference BETWEEN A GOD AND SOMETHING THAT CAN BLEED Godkiller And it was made for us [Interlude: forge ambience, chains of metal striking stone, low heartbeat drum] [Low clean vocal] At first I thought it was a weapon. A blade. A machine. A crown of black iron. Something you could lock away. [Pause] Then I saw the final page. [Whisper] There was no weapon drawn. Only a body. [Verse 3: restrained, ominous] Height Weight Bone Blood Every line marked with intent No divine inheritance No accidental birth event Someone engineered a heartbeat Someone taught it what to hate Someone built a living answer To the question gods create How do you kill the deathless? [Music thins] Make something That was born to know how. [Breakdown: crushing half-time] [Harsh vocal] NOT A SWORD NOT A GUN NOT A CURSE BENEATH THE SUN [Gang vocals] GODKILLER [Harsh vocal] FLESH AND BONE BUILT TO MAKE THE DIVINE DIE ALONE [Gang vocals] GODKILLER [Harsh vocal] NO ALTAR NO NAME JUST A HEART TRAINED TO END OUR REIGN [Music cuts] And somebody erased Who made it. [Bridge: sparse piano, low choir] I asked Morvane where it went. He said: “Dead.” I asked where it was buried. He said nothing. I asked if it had a name. [Long pause] Vaelune left the room. [Low Fenrir vocal] That answer scared me more Than anything else. [Final Chorus: enormous, desperate] GODKILLER Someone taught mortality to hunt Someone looked at heaven And decided gods had lived enough No prayer No throne No resurrection No sacred law could make it stop We spent eternity believing Nothing living could make us fall Then someone built a thing That proved WE WERE NEVER IMMORTAL AT ALL Godkiller Made for us [Choir rises] And if it died Why did they erase the records? [Music drops] If it died Why is Morvane afraid? [Outro: single metallic heartbeat] [Low clean vocal] There was one final note. No signature. No date. Just four words. [Whisper] Do not let it remember.
