[Intro – low, distant, filtered voice] [static]…signal lost…reacquire… [deep inhale, rising tone] We were born in the shadow of dying suns… [Verse 1 – low register, restrained intensity] Steel skies crack under orbital fire Ash falls like judgment, choking the wire Marching in rhythm with engines of war We are the ghosts they designed us for [slight growl extension] No names… no graves… just numbers and flame A system in pieces, a galaxy maimed Eyes in the void, painted black and gold Their empire burns but their hearts stay cold [Pre-Chorus – building, pitch rising] We hear the drums in vacuum silence (boom… boom…) mechanical violence Breathing in dust, exhaling despair We were the answer—they never cared [Chorus – powerful, anthemic, higher octave] We are the fire in Helghan’s sky [extended scream] RIIIIISE—AND—DIVIIIIIDE Ash to ash, we rewrite the war No gods left to die for anymore [lower harmony layer added] We are the fracture, the faultline scar Crushing the crown of a dying star [half-scream / half-clean] BLOOD AND IRON—WE WON’T OBEY This is the price that empires pay [Verse 2 – heavier tone, more aggression] Black sun rising through chemical haze Breathing the poison, addicted to rage Masks hide the ruin carved into skin But underneath, the war lives within [distorted vocal effect] I.S.A marching—clean and precise But righteousness cuts just as cold as ice Who writes the truth when both sides bleed? Who plants the flag? Who feeds the greed? [Pre-Chorus – layered voices, echoing] Static prayers in a broken channel Faith corroded in steel and panel We were the soldiers they couldn’t save Now we’re the storm they tried to enslave [Chorus – repeat, with added backing screams] We are the fire in Helghan’s sky [dual octave: low growl + high scream] RISE AND DIVIDE Ash to ash, we rewrite the war No gods left to die for anymore We are the fracture, the faultline scar Crushing the crown of a dying star [shouted gang vocals] BLOOD AND IRON—WE WON’T OBEY This is the price that empires pay [Breakdown – HEAVY BASS SECTION, tempo drop, guttural delivery] [tempo: slow / crushing] —DROP— [deep guttural] Feel… the… WEIGHT [bass hits between words] OF—EVERY—WORLD—YOU—TOOK [industrial percussive hits] Crack the spine of the throne you built Drown in the oceans of oil and guilt [call and response – layered vocals] (Who do you serve?) — NO ONE NOW (Who do you fear?) — NOT YOUR CROWN [extended low scream] WE… ARE… THE… END [Bridge – melodic, haunting, softer tone] [clean vocals, airy] In the silence between the stars I hear the echo of who we are Not heroes, not martyrs, not divine Just fragments lost in endless time [gradual swell, emotional intensity rising] If there’s a light beyond this war We’ve forgotten what it’s for But in the dark, we still ignite… [Final Chorus – massive, layered, full intensity] We are the fire in Helghan’s sky [highest octave scream] RIIIIISE—AND—DIVIIIIIDE Ash to ash, we rewrite the war No gods left to die for anymore [stacked harmonies + choir effect] We are the fracture, the faultline scar Crushing the crown of a dying star [all vocals, sustained] BLOOD AND IRON—WE WON’T OBEY THIS IS THE PRICE—THIS IS THE PRICE WE PAY [Outro – fading, distorted transmission] [whispered, breaking signal] War never ends… it just changes hands… [static overtakes]
