[Intro: fading in, muted drums, rising energy, whispered chants] [Instrumental: heavy thick electric guitar riff] [Verse 1] Tonight we gather where this world was rend Her pool is still But her ripples never end This crypt of eternity Shakes with echoes from the ages From her altar… [Instrumental Flourish] [Verse 2] The halls cry demon! Slick with creeping death Through eons of decay And the terror of Tor Anath [Pre-Chorus] “Our Empress, bound in time, Your will beyond the stars, Speak softly now her name, And wake her soul afar” [Chorus] Whisperrrrrrrrs on the Seven Winds Hear the screams of their Seven kin Whisperrrrrrrrs on the Seven Winds Choke on the price of their Seven sins Do we dare awayyyy-ken herrrrr? [Instrumental: heavy thick electric guitar riff, lead guitar solo] [Melodic Instrumental: lead guitar solo] [Melodic Instrumental: lead guitar solo] [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] This crypt of eternity Shakes with echoes from the ages From her altar bed On this night of pleading We invoke your mercy To hold our world safe in your breast (breast, breast, breast) [Build: cinematic electric guitars, pounding drums, rising tension] [Bridge: initial melodic delivery to snarl] “Ard Rígan, Codlaíonn tú i solas, Éirigh ar ár bpaidir. Cosain muid ón gciúnas gránna, Fóir orainn ón dorchadas A ólann an fharraige. Inventae sunt claves tuae, Sserp-mei.” [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 4] Tonight we summon one we can not tame A storm unbound Her cleansing flame… [Chorus] Whisperrrrrrrrs on the Seven Winds Lick the grime of their Seven kin Whisperrrrrrrrs on the Seven Winds Taste the bile of their Seven sins Do we dare away-kehn herrrrrrrrrrr ? [Narrative Bridge] You are The Empress of the Nevers And this to you, we plea We bring you the Keys to your Kingdoms And we all bow our knee For your domain is vast and dark No man or beast has ever defeated you We plead your favor, Empress Use our bodies for your bones For we have foreseen Our mighty empire's Doom. [Narrative Break] The winds fade, her voice fills the tomb. A command, as soft As it is absolute: "NEE-AHL" [Build] [Vocals: Shouted] "One by one, WE FALL!!" [Instrumental break: virtuoso lead guitar solo] [Outro: Final Chorus over acoustic guitar] Whisperrrrrrrrs on the Seven Winds Smell the stench of their burning skinsssss Do we darrrrre away-kun herrrrr? [end]
