[Intro] (Soft, haunting strings, faint distant choir) [Verse 1] Shadows coil beneath the crimson moon Ancient runes ignite, the air turns cold Silent whispers echo through the tomb Stories of the damned, forever told [Pre-Chorus] Ashes dance in hollow air Fear is rising everywhere [Chorus] Spectral menace, drawing near Cracking bones and searing fear No escape from death’s caress Beneath his cloak of emptiness [Verse 2] Flames of green from skeletal hands Mark the fate of mortal lands Cloaked in symbols, torn and black There’s no turning, no way back [Bridge] Drums of ruin pounding fast Chains of fate around us cast Sky ignites, the earth will break As he claims the souls he takes [Final Chorus] Spectral menace, drawing near Cracking bones and searing fear No escape from death’s caress Beneath his cloak of emptiness Spectral menace… here at last
