The Iron Eclipse: Part II - Sitar of the Shattered Temples

[Intro] From the dust of shattered temples From the throat of burning sand A string begins to tremble Like a curse across the land It coils around the silence It fractures bone and throne A spiral carved in tension Where iron seeds are sown [Verse 1] Sitar cuts through orchestration Like a blade of ancient flame Every note bends into shadow Every string ignites a name Brass erupts in molten fury Choirs ascend in minor dread Yet the eastern pulse keeps breathing Through the kingdoms of the dead [Pre-Chorus] Hear it — Vibrating through steel and sky Hear it — Where the sealed empires die [Chorus] Sing, O Sitar — tear the veil Let the iron heavens pale In your strings the stars collapse In your tremor ages fail Sing, O Sitar — burn the throne Carve the marrow to the bone In eclipse of frozen light We are summoned by the night [Verse 2] Ash falls slow like broken scripture On cathedral ribs of wire Organ pipes release their sorrow Feeding black celestial fire But above the blast and thunder Above brass and choir cry Still the bending string is guiding Where the last of gods will die [Pre-Chorus] Not of mercy Not of grace Just vibration splitting space [Bridge] No crown could mute it No blade divide The trembling earth From what’s inside [Build] When the final tower fractures When the organs cease to wail Only strings and bone remain — [Final Chorus] Sing, O Sitar — reign in flame Call the nameless by their name In your resonance unmade All the iron debts are paid Sing, O Sitar — end the veil Let the frozen empires fail In eclipse of iron light We ascend into the night [Outro] Resonance… Resonance… [End]
