Ifrit’s descent into battle is not vengeance — it is judgment. A fire not to destroy, but to cauterize a world collapsing in frost. [Verse 1 – Growled, steady and composed] Beneath the stone, I feel the strain The frost exhales from mountain’s fangs It howls through hollow peaks and plains And coats the wild in glassy chains The fire waits, it does not beg It coils like smoke along the edge I rise not fast, nor without cause But when the old laws start to pause [Pre-Chorus 1 – Growled with whispered underlayers] I do not rise to scorch or reign I rise to cleanse what frost profanes To cauterize what should not grow And bring back warmth the earth should know [Chorus 1 – Screamed, driven and surgical] Let the frost howl, I’ll burn it still Let blizzards break against my will Let rivers tainted boil in red Let war be struck where peace has bled I do not march for gods to see— I bring the silence after screams [Verse 2 – Growled, mournful and bitter] They say I rage for balance lost But I have felt the deeper cost My dearest daughter lingers still In Soulwell’s grip, against her will Yet better there than rise and break Revived to die for power’s sake To burn again, to scream and fall— A puppet chained by frostbound thrall [Pre-Chorus 2 – Growled, rising intensity] I rise because the cycles break Where frost invades what flame must wake This is not wrath—it’s reckoning To burn the blight and free the spring [Chorus 2 – Screamed, precise and ritualistic] Let fire wake the molten veins Let no one leave these lands unchanged Let frostbound thrones be turned to soil Let battle cleanse what lies despoiled I do not roar to make things fair— I strike because they brought me there [Bridge – Spoken, layered with harsh growls] This is not vengeance. This is not wrath. This is a god who walks the path. The Soultaker feeds. Shiva stands still. But I am the flame that breaks their will. I do not burn the world to ash— I burn what rots. I burn to pass. And if my fire scorches all— Then let the blameless mourn the fall. [Final Chorus – Screamed, climactic and surging] Let fire be my final breath Let judgment rise from smoke and death Let every cry that frost denies Be answered where my fury flies I do not come to take or give— I come so something else can live [Outro – Spoken, over low fire and wind] If the frost endures... the world will sleep. Not in peace. Not in death. But in silence. The rivers will forget their course. The sky will forget its fire. And the bloom will never rise again. But if fire holds... The veil will break. The wheel will turn. And the cost will be carved into the bones of the land. For no god walks through war without bleeding.
