**[Verse 1]** Once we ruled with flame and thunder, Cannons roared across the seas, Steel and storm, we tore asunder Empires brought down to their knees. From Tortuga to the far horizon, Every sail knew our name. Now the sea is calm and silent, And none remember whence we came. **\[Chorus]** This is the twilight of the crimson tide, No more glory, no more pride. The winds have died, the rum runs dry, No more legends in the sky. Raise a toast to days long gone— We fade like ghosts at breaking dawn. The tide is low, the stars won’t guide... This is the twilight of the crimson tide. **\[Verse 2]** Time has drowned our songs and stories, Buried treasure, sunken dreams. Gone are days of stolen glory, Drifting lost in haunted streams. No more gold and no more plunder, No more flags to stake the claim. Only echoes roll like thunder, Calling out a dying name. **\[Bridge]** The wheel is still, the sails are torn, The blackened sky won’t see the morn. A thousand years in cursed refrain— The ocean sings of silent pain. **\[Chorus]** This is the twilight of the crimson tide, No more ships on which to ride. The sea grows cold, the fire has died, No more tales the bards confide. Drink to the fallen, lost in the wave, No storm left for us to brave. Ashes drift where kings once lied… This is the twilight of the crimson tide. **\[Outro – Spoken, then sung with rising fury]** So mark this hour, ye who sail the deep, For the age of iron hearts is buried in the reef. No flags remain, no foes to fight— Only the night. **Final Chorus (Slower, then erupting into metal)** This is the twilight of the crimson tide, Our ghosts in the foam still ride. Though the dawn may never rise, We’ll haunt the depths with burning eyes… Forever bound to ocean’s side— In the twilight of the crimson tide.
