[Intro] [low synth drone, cinematic percussion hits] [spoken male vocals] At the very end of my life [distorted guitar chug] When I was certain I was meant to die [orchestral strings swell] There was no ray of light, no fire left to reach my eyes Only night, endless night Pure darkness swallowing my sight And then, I heard a sound [Chorus] [full band enters, driving double-kick drums, distorted guitar riffs] [shouted male vocals] A distant sound Beneath the ground The march of the hound [orchestral brass accents] March! [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar chugs, staccato strings] I heard them coming through the dead of night An army born from darkness, marching in perfect time Their banners black, their armor cold No mercy left, no hand to hold They came to claim the life of the fallen To drag the defeated into the dark [Chorus] [aggressive shouted vocals] We come from the shadows, we rise when the light has died No soul escapes the darkness, no man outruns the night [Bridge] [drums drop out, low synth drone] [spoken male vocals] And I could hear them closer And closer [drums and guitars re-enter with building intensity] Their footsteps shaking the bones beneath my feet The army of the dark has come to claim its prize [Outro] [shouted vocals] March through the ashes March through the night March until the last flame dies March and take his life [guitar solo with wah effect] And take his life! [orchestral strings and brass swell to climax] No light, no mercy, no salvation Only darkness and the sound of the procession [music drops to low drone] [spoken male vocals] I saw the shadows, I felt their presence I knew I was the next And then, I saw the knight [final cinematic percussion hit]
