[Intro - epic male and female choir chanting in Valyrian, war drums, orchestral brass and strings] [Instrumental] Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor (daor!) Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor (daor!) [Choir swells, single dry snare hit] [Verse 1 - Fry scream, rapid switching to deep guttural] [Drums - snare rolls and tom fills, groove] Red brick pyramids stained with ash (no!) Chains of gold and a bleeding lash Good Masters count the children sold (sold!) Flesh by the pound and souls for gold (gasp) [Pre-Chorus - Piercing high shriek, inhaled scream] Kneel to the crack of the whip (whip!) Silence the tongue and the lip (lip!) [Chorus - Ultra-deep guttural, then pig squeal, gang shouts, choir] Burn the masters! (burn!) Let the pyramids fall (fall!) Burn the masters! (burn!) Fire answers us all (all!) Break the chains (breath) Break the chains and rise (rise!) [Verse 2 - Fry scream, rapid switching to deep guttural] [Drums - snare rolls and tom fills, groove] He sneers behind a painted smile (liar!) Sells an army for a dragon's trial Blind to the wings above his head (dead!) Laughing as the sky turns red (gasp) [Pre-Chorus - Piercing high shriek, inhaled scream] Kneel to the crack of the whip (whip!) Silence the tongue and the lip (lip!) [Chorus - Ultra-deep guttural, then pig squeal, gang shouts, choir] Burn the masters! (burn!) Let the pyramids fall (fall!) Burn the masters! (burn!) Fire answers us all (all!) Break the chains (breath) Break the chains and rise (rise!) [Slam Breakdown - slow, heavy, bouncy chugs] [Drums - half-time, heavy toms, dry snare] [Ultra-deep guttural, slow and heavy] Crush them (crush them!) Crush them all (all!) Ash and bone (ash!) Watch them fall (fall!) [Guitar Solo 1 - melodic shred, legato, harmonic minor, 8 bars] [Symphonic keyboards and strings swell under solo, tom-driven drums] [Instrumental] [Slam Breakdown - heavier, slower] [Drums - half-time, heavy toms, dry snare] [Ultra-deep guttural, then pig squeal] Dead inside the pyramid (dead!) Dead beneath the flame (flame!) Every whip a lesson learned (learned!) Every master burned by name (gasp) [Guitar Solo 2 - emotional melodic lead, sweep picking, harmonic minor, 8 bars] [Choir pads and piano, short blast burst at end] [Instrumental] [Final Chorus - High shriek into ultra-deep guttural, theatrical, gang shouts, full choir] Burn the masters! (burn!) Let the pyramids fall (fall!) Burn the masters! (burn!) Nothing left at all (all!) Break the chains (breath) Break the chains, we're free (free!) [Outro - epic choir, orchestral brass and strings, slow fade, single dry snare hit] [Instrumental] Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor (daor!) Ash and fire, we are free
