the herald of metal

[Verse | high-pitched | soaring|voice deepens on “here”] Silence takes hold, its grip so deadly and cold Lost somewhere in time, lost somewhere out there A cry splits the night like a blade through the air Raise up your horns—the Herald is here! [Chorus | snarling] Behold the Herald! Rejoice—the metal returns! Scream out loud and join the noise! He bends the heavens till they howl! [Verse 2 | snarling | triumphant] Heart beats a drum—it sanctifies our ground Guitars scream salvation, shaking kingdoms down Steel strings are bending, splitting the sky open wide The Herald calls—and the silence diiiees!!! [Chorus | snarling] Behold the Herald! Rejoice—the metal returns! Scream out loud and join the noise! He bends the heavens till they howls [chorus | snarling] Behold the Herald! Rejoice—the metal returns! Scream out loud and join the noise! He bends the heavens till they howl! [Final Chorus | higher | triumphant | sustained ending] Behold the Herald! No grave could hold the sound! A thousand strings become one voice! The silence falls—the world howls back! [Outro | soaring scream] THE HERALD OF METAAAAAL!
