The Last Kingdom of Ashes

# THE LAST KINGDOM OF ASHES *The Forbidden Sands – Chapter III* [Intro – Deep Male Chant] Ashes... The kingdom sleeps... The blood remembers... The prophecy is complete... [Verse 1 – Male] I stand before the broken throne, A thousand years, a kingdom gone. The crown of shadows calls my name, The blood of kings, the ancient flame. The armies rise beyond the gate, The gods have sealed our final fate. But I have seen what lies ahead, A world of silence, a world of dead. [Verse 2 – Female] I see the fire across the skies, The fallen stars inside your eyes. They say my blood must pay the price, That love itself demands sacrifice. But I was never born to kneel, Before the gods who cannot feel. If this is where our story ends, I'll stand beside you till the end. [Pre-Chorus – Duet] The heavens tremble... The oceans rise... The final battle... Beneath black skies! [Chorus – Explosive Duet] Rise from the ashes! Rise from the flame! Let every kingdom remember our name! We are the darkness! We are the light! Two broken souls against eternal night! Let the heavens fall! Let the mountains break! No gods can decide the love we make! [Verse 3 – Male] The ancient guardian lifts his hand, The dead awaken beneath the sand. The burning sun turns black as night, The final king prepares to fight. He offers me the golden crown, A thousand kingdoms to lay down. "Give me her heart, your curse will cease, And you shall rule in endless peace." [Verse 4 – Female] I see the crown, I see the lies, I see the sorrow in your eyes. Don't trade your soul to save my own, I'd rather face the dark alone. But take my hand and hear me swear, No throne, no kingdom can compare. If love is death, then let it be, I'd choose your heart eternally. [Pre-Chorus – Duet] No more surrender! No more despair! If we must fall... We'll fall together! [Chorus – Explosive Duet] Rise from the ashes! Rise from the flame! Let every kingdom remember our name! We are the darkness! We are the light! Two broken souls against eternal night! Let the heavens fall! Let the mountains break! No gods can decide the love we make! [Instrumental Break] *Massive Arabian orchestral battle sequence. Thunderous tribal drums, aggressive oud and qanun melodies, soaring ney flute, distorted cinematic guitars, powerful choir and ancient male chants.* [Bridge – Guardian, Deep Male Voice] The price has been spoken... The sacrifice must be made... One soul for eternity... One love erased... [Female – Whisper] Then take my life... [Male – Shouting] NO! [Male – Emotional] I was born into a kingdom of lies, Raised beneath unforgiving skies. But you gave me something kings could never own... A reason to call this heart my home. [Female – Powerful] Then let the ancient heavens hear! We will not live our lives in fear! If love is the crime, we stand accused! If fate is the chain, it shall be broken! [Final Chorus – Full Choir and Duet] RISE FROM THE ASHES! RISE FROM THE FLAME! LET EVERY KINGDOM REMEMBER OUR NAME! WE ARE THE DARKNESS! WE ARE THE LIGHT! OUR LOVE WILL OUTLIVE ETERNAL NIGHT! LET THE HEAVENS FALL! LET THE MOUNTAINS BREAK! NO GODS CAN DECIDE THE LOVE WE MAKE! [Final Orchestral Climax] *The crown shatters. The temple collapses. The black sun explodes into golden light.* [Outro – Female Soft Vocals] The desert is silent... The curse is gone... But where have you gone, my love? [Male – Distant Whisper] I am the wind... I am the stars... I am forever where you are... [Female – Whisper] Then I shall find you... Beyond the stars... [Final Deep Male Chant] THE KINGDOM IS NO MORE... BUT LOVE... IS ETERNAL... *THE END*
