Winter’s Crest (The Lich King’s Decree)

[Verse 1] Hush now, little heartbeats Hear the frost begin to sing The crown you thought was buried Still remembers everything They called me heretic, traitor Chained my magic, sealed my fate But snow preserves what fire can’t kill And death is… very patient [Pre-Chorus] Ten winters I waited Ten winters I learned How kingdoms decay And crowns are earned [Chorus] Welcome to Winter’s Crest Where the living finally rest No hunger, no sorrow No fear of tomorrow Just silence… at my behest Let the sun die in the west Let the weak pray and confess This cold is forever We rot together In my perfect Winter’s Crest [Verse 2] Feel the snow beneath your skin It’s kinder than your lies No kings, no chains, no mercy begged No pointless lullabies Your wars were loud and meaningless Your gods refused to speak So I carved a better heaven From bone and iron and sleet [Pre-Chorus] You feared what I’d become Now kneel to what I am A kingdom that never breathes Is a kingdom that never breaks [Chorus] This is Winter’s Crest An undead utopia blessed No tears, no pain No love in vain Just order carved in death Let your heart freeze in your chest Let your hope drift with the rest You’ll rise renewed Perfectly used In my endless Winter’s Crest [Bridge] [Spoken / Half-Sung] Do you hear them… Your ancestors whispering my name They begged me for eternity And I… Listened [Key Change / Final Chorus] ALL hail Winter’s Crest Where the grave outshines the nest No birth, no end Just loyalty, friend Forever bound, forever blessed Kneel or freeze with the rest Every soul will be addressed The cold ascends This age now ends I AM the crown of Winter’s Crest [Outro] So sleep, Eastgarde… sleep Your king has come home
