[Intro – IMMEDIATE APOCALYPTIC IMPACT; NO fade-in; colossal drum strike, sub-bass shockwave, funeral bell, monstrous choir] [ALL VOICES — LIKE A SENTENCE OF DOOM] She awakens! [CHOIR — DEAFENING] She awakens! [Hook – ritual call-and-response; heartbeat like war drums; screaming strings] [CLOSE CONTRALTO] ANKH EM DUAT! [DISTANT CHOIR] ANKH EM DUAT! [CLOSE VOICE] NEFER SAH! [ALL] XUN’BAKYR!!! [Verse 1 – fast, merciless; crushing drums; cathedral organ; metallic pulse] Dead suns bow before her. The heavens split above the altar. Time writhes in blackened dust, and stars go dark one by one. No breath remains. No flesh remains. No name remains that can be saved. [DISTANT ECHO] Be saved… Worlds beg for one last dawn. Mothers hide their children from the sky. But the light turns red, then disappears forever. [CHOIR — IMPACT] FOREVER! No gods. No answer. No hand can hold the ending back. She was the first — [CHOIR] THE FIRST! [ALL] And the last to witness darkness! [Pre-Chorus – heartbeat doubles; bells accelerate; choir rising] They screamed: Give us back the sun! [DISTANT VOICE] The sun is dead… Give us back our names! [CHOIR] THE NAMES ARE ERASED! Give us back the sky! [ALL] THERE IS NO SKY! [Chorus – MAXIMUM WIDTH; catastrophic drums; colossal choir; organ; screaming strings] MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] ALL KINGS SHALL FALL BEFORE YOU! MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] NOTHING WILL REMAIN BUT YOU! THE NAME ERASED — THE LIGHT EXTINGUISHED — THE HEAVENS BURIED — [ALL — SCREAM] YOU WILL OUTLIVE THE DYING SUN!!! [Hook – harder; ritual percussion] ANKH EM DUAT! ANKH EM DUAT! NEFER SAH! [ALL] XUN’BAKYR!!! [Verse 2 – relentless; low brass; chains; distant screams] Where cities once stood, the wind carries only ash. Where prayers once rose, the stones are silent. Where love once lived, not even names remain. Legions rise from darkness without breath, without cries, without hope. [CHOIR — WHISPERED] Rise… rise… Dead kings lower their crowns. Neither fire, nor blade, nor faith, nor blood can stop her step. [HEARTBEAT STOP] [CLOSE WHISPER] Do you hear it?.. [THREE SECONDS OF SILENCE] The final world just died. [DISTANT WHISPER] But she remembers… [Pre-Chorus – accelerating; alarm bells] No scream remains! No truth remains! No mercy remains! [CHOIR] NO LIGHT REMAINS! She closes the eyes of dead worlds. [DISTANT SCREAM] And opens the gates of the final night! [Chorus – EVEN LOUDER; sub-bass overload] MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] ALL KINGS SHALL FALL BEFORE YOU! MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] NOTHING WILL REMAIN BUT YOU! MEMORY BURNED — THE STARS EXTINGUISHED — ETERNITY TORN APART — [ALL] YOU WILL OUTLIVE THE DYING SUN!!! [Ritual Chant – relentless; voices multiplying] ANKH EM DUAT! ANKH EM DUAT! ANKH EM DUAT! [CHOIR] XUN’BAKYR!!! NEFER SAH! NEFER SAH! [ALL — SCREAM] XUN’BAKYR!!! [Bridge – TOTAL COLLAPSE; drums vanish; grave whispers; distant wind] No soul… [ECHO] No soul… No past… [ECHO] No past… No salvation… [ECHO] No salvation… No tomorrow… [ECHO] No tomorrow… [Build – heartbeat returns; slow, gigantic; bells like execution strikes] [CLOSE VOICE] When the final witness disappears… [DISTANT] When the final throne collapses… [CLOSE] When death itself is left alone… [CHOIR — QUIET] She will be waiting. [DROP – APOCALYPSE; full mix; maximum loudness] [SCREAM] WHEN TIME ITSELF DIES — [CHOIR] WHEN THE FINAL STAR GOES DARK — [SCREAM] WHEN THE ABYSS CLOSES OVER THE WORLDS — [CLOSE VOICE] THE LAST OF THEM ALL… [ALL] YOU WILL REMAIN!!! [Final Chorus – LOUDEST; gigantic drums; choir like the end of creation] MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] ALL KINGS SHALL FALL BEFORE YOU! MOTHER OF OBLIVION — [CHOIR] NO LIGHT! NO NAMES! NO GODS! MEMORY ERASED — THE HEAVENS ARE DEAD — THE UNIVERSE IS SILENT — [ALL — FINAL SCREAM] YOU WILL OUTLIVE THE DYING SUN!!! [Final Ritual – drums stop; one funeral bell; endless cathedral decay] [DISTANT VOICE] ANKH EM DUAT… [ECHO] Ankh em Duat… [DISTANT VOICE] XUN’BAKYR… [SOFT ECHO] Xun’bakyr… [ONE FINAL BELL] [Metallic drone fades into absolute silence]
