The Choir That Holds Back the End

[Intro – Narration] When the first light shattered the eternal silence, the Guardians of the Sacred Choir made a solemn vow. "As long as one voice still rises with hope, the final darkness shall never claim this world." [Latin Choir] Lux aeterna, vox resurgat, Ignis sacer, numquam cadat. Una voce, spes manebit, Donec aurum sol renascit. [Verse I] Beyond the peaks where frozen comets blaze, A temple stands untouched by endless days. Its marble halls remember every prayer, A thousand echoes floating through the air. The stars grow dim, the northern winds arise, Dark wings awaken underneath the skies. Yet every note ignites a silver flame, Defying time, remembering our name. [Pre-Chorus] Lift your eyes beyond the storm, Stand together, hearts reborn. When the silence calls the night, Our song becomes the dawn's first light. [Chorus] Hold back the end! Hold back the end! Raise your voices to the sky! One sacred flame, One endless name— Hope will never fade or die! Hold back the end! Hold back the end! Let the mountains hear our cry! One choir! One soul! One eternal call! Together we defy the night! [Verse II] The ancient bells begin their final chime, The stars dissolve beyond the edge of time. A river made of memories flows below, Where every fallen dream still softly glows. One final verse is carried by the wind, A song no darkness ever could rescind. The voices rise where fear once held its throne, Until the fading heavens sing as one. [Bridge – Narration] The silence has awakened... The heavens tremble... The last refrain remains... Sing... not for glory... Sing because tomorrow is listening. [Latin Choir] Gloria! Lux sempiterna! Cantate! Vox invicta! Spes aeterna! Surge nunc! Fiat vita! Fiat lux! [Twin Lead Guitar Solo] (Orchestra, choir and twin lead guitars soar together.) [Symphonic Breakdown] When kingdoms fall into the sea, Our voices write eternity. No crown, no sword, no walls of stone— A song can guard the world alone. [Final Chorus – Key Change] Hold back the end! Hold back the end! Hear ten thousand voices rise! Fire in our hearts, Light beyond the stars— Hope will never close its eyes! Hold back the end! Hold back the end! Let the sacred anthem fly! One choir! One flame! One immortal name! The dawn will never die! [Grand Finale] Hold back the end! Hold back the end! Hold back the end! (Choir) Una vox... Hold back the end! (Choir) Una spes... Hold back the end! (Full orchestra and choir) Gloria! Fiat lux! Fiat vita! The dawn begins...
