(Intro – Cinematic, orchestral build with choirs and dark synth Low strings swell. Distant drums rumble like thunder. A whisper breaks through darkness.) Spoken (low, reverent): The light is fading. The gates are cracked. And still… we march. (Verse 1 – Slow, building (clean vocal with whispered doubles) Ash on the wind, blood in the stone The world forgets what it once called home We rise from ruin, broken and burned Each step forward — a fate unearned (Pre-Chorus – Choir joins, intensity rising) The sky won’t part, the stars won’t speak But in our hearts, the fire won’t leak A thousand odds, a single stand One spark to light a dying land (Chorus – Full band and orchestra explode) Only the flame remains! In the dark, we forge our names Through shattered thrones and hollow kings We fight beneath forgotten wings Only the flame remains! Carved in pain and bound by chains But hope — defiant — will not wane We rise again… again… again! (Verse 2 – Screamed with layered chanting behind) Demons chant with rotted breath Wielding relics born of death But steel remembers, and hearts still burn The tide will turn… the tide will turn (Bridge – Soft, choral interlude into breakdown) (Monks voices/ ) If the stars forget our names… will we still be? (Heavy breakdown – screamed) YES We are the fire they could not drown We are the silence that shakes the crown No angel saves us, no devil owns This fight is ours — we walk alone (Final Chorus – Massive cinematic climax with full choir + screams) Only the flame remains! We rise where legends end in chains Through sacred ruins and demon cries We carve our truth beneath scorched skies Only the flame remains! Through deathless dusk and endless rain We bear the burden, bleed through pain — And from the void, we rise again (Outro – Quiet piano over fading strings) One voice, whispered. The gates are sealed… But not our fate.
