[INTRO — whispered, Gothic horror] [whisper] I felt the cold jaws of death closing around my throat… The field was ash… my blood on the stone… [breath] But death is a liar. [raspy gasp] And wolves… do not rest. [VERSE 1 — increase energy, dark, heavy, horror imagery] My bones were broken on the prophet’s fist My vision drowning in a blood-red mist The Fang above me a shadowed sky As brothers carried me where wolves go to die Metal tables in the halls of night Wolf Priests chanting by pale forge-light Fire in the veins and cold in the lung A warrior’s story nearly unsung [low male chant: distant rumble] [RISE 1 — first emergence, slower intensity almost prayer] Broken. Reforged. Reborn...[echo] reborn [VERSE 2 — lifting vocals, resurrection becomes violence] Machines whisper where the spirits howl Lightning waking the slumbering growl Sinew rewritten with gene-forged might Claws of iron aching for the fight My dead heart hammered against its cage The wolf awakened a storm of rage Old strength shattered new strength drawn A lord remade in war’s black dawn [whisper-double: dawn] [RISE 2 — louder, sharper, horror-rock edge] Broken. Reforged....{echo softer] reforged... Reborn.....[echo softer] reborn.... in fire... [BRIDGE — whisper build up → explosive vocals quiet power] [whisper] I saw the void… try to claim my name… I felt the dark… try to quench my flame… But blood remembers. Fire remembers. Fenris remembers. [IMPACT — guitars + drums erupt, higher vocals then before] Veins igniting with the wolf within Shard of frost and shard of sin Rising back from a death too soon A wolf reborn beneath the rune Steel in hand and fire in breath I tore my life from the jaws of death...[echo] death..... [FINAL REFRAIN — massive, Gothic, apocalyptic] Broken. Reforged. Reborn. [belt] Broken. Reforged. Reborn.....{echo - softer] reborn... reborn.... [OUTRO — fading horror atmosphere] [soft breath] From death I rose… a darker flame… A wolf returned.
