The Warlord-Bride

[Verse 1] Ash falls slow on the black stone plain Smoke in the wind and fire in the rain She walks alone where the war drums died Urvara Dreadmaw… The Warlord-Bride Bone on her armor Steel in her hand Whole damn clans still bow where she stands Eyes like embers Cold and wide Half sacred flame… Half battle cry [Pre-Chorus] They feared her laugh More than the blade Felt the mountain shake Every step she made [Chorus] She was fire in the doorway Storm in the smoke Gold in her eyes Like an ancient oath spoke Skulls on her waistline Ash in the sky One hand heals… One hand decides Urvara… The Warlord-Bride Ashfang remembers And the dead stay quiet [Verse 2] Her chamber burned warm in the dead of night Sacred old furs in the candlelight To be called inside meant blood and trust Not every warrior earns that dust Then dawn would rise And the armor came Iron and leather marked with flame Axe on her shoulder Slow and proud Whole war camps silent when she walked out [Pre-Chorus] No empty throne No jeweled crown Just iron vows Never backing down [Chorus] She was fire in the doorway Storm in the smoke Gold in her eyes Like an ancient oath spoke Skulls on her waistline Ash in the sky One hand heals… One hand decides Urvara… The Warlord-Bride Ashfang remembers And the dead stay quiet [Bridge] (Female vocal softer, haunted) The hearth still burns… Even after war… Even after blood… Even after loss… (Male choir rising behind her) Dreadmaw… Dreadmaw… Dreadmaw… [Final Chorus] She was iron in the winter Flame in the dark Last one standing When the world lost heart Ash on the wind now Smoke in the night But the old gods still whisper… The Warlord-Bride [ Gravelly whispered] Urvara… Urvara… The Warlord-Bride
