The Iron Eclipse: Part I - Ocarina of the Iron Eclipse

[Intro] From the hollow of the mountain From the throat of frozen stone A breath older than the empire Calls the marrow from my bones It wakes beneath the altar It cracks the iron sky A spiral carved in shadow Where forgotten gods reply [Verse 1] The ocarina cuts the silence Like a blade through woven night Every note a sigil burning Every tone a crown of blight Choirs rise in minor terror Brass like thunder splits the flame Yet the ancient clay-born whisper Speaks a darker hidden name [Pre-Chorus] Hear it — Breathing through the battlefield Hear it — Where the sealed are unsealed [Chorus] Sing, Ocarina — split the veil Let the dying heavens pale In your breath the worlds collapse In your tone the ages fail Sing, Ocarina — carve the flame Etch the marrow with its name In eclipse of iron light We are summoned by the night [Verse 2] Ash descends like blackened snowfall On cathedral ribs of steel Organ pipes exhale their sorrow While the living kneel to kneel But above the blast and thunder Above the choir’s command Still the ancient clay-born tremor Guides the ruin of the land [Pre-Chorus] Its melody is not of mercy Not of heaven, not of hell It is breath before creation It is bone before the bell [Chorus] Sing, Ocarina — fracture sky Let the frozen angels cry Through the tremor, through the gale Through the empire’s final wail Sing, Ocarina — sound the seal Break what iron tried to heal In eclipse of iron light We are reborn in the night [Bridge] No blade could hold it No throne contain The breath of earth In mortal clay [Build] When the final tower shatters When the organ pipes decay Only breath and bone remain — [Final Chorus] Sing, Ocarina — reign in flame Call the nameless by their name In your breath the world unmade In your tone the debt is paid Sing, Ocarina — end the veil Let the iron kingdoms fail In eclipse of iron light We ascend into the night [Outro] Breath of clay… Breath of night… [End]
