[INTRO — DISTANT WAR MACHINES]

(metal creaking)
(distant marching)
(low war drums)

(male whisper)

Gold burns faster than fire...

(female whisper)

And war...
Consumes all things...

(MASSIVE DRUM IMPACT)

[VERSE 1 — BARITONE COMMAND VOCALS]

The wheels begin before the dawn
Steel and hunger moving
The kingdom feeds the mouths of war
While mothers pray for ruin

Banners rise like funeral smoke
Across the blackened plains
No river stays forever pure
Once washed in marching veins

[PRE-CHORUS — TENSION BUILD]

Every blade demands a price
Every victory leaves ghosts
The longer war remains alive
The more a nation chokes

[CHORUS — HUGE INDUSTRIAL IMPACT]

Wage war fast
Strike hard
Do not feed the flame

For endless wars consume the world
And leave no crown unchanged

Move swift
Move cold
Before the famine starts

For every day beneath the drums
Is another kingdom carved apart

[POST-CHORUS — GANG CHANTS]

(chanting)

Move!
Strike!
End it!

[VERSE 2 — DARKER ESCALATION]

The treasury becomes the grave
Of emperors and sons
The blacksmith feeds the furnace mouth
Until the iron comes undone

The horses starve
The farmers bleed
The generals grow blind
And victory without an end
Becomes the death of time

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

(tribal war drums intensify)
(distorted brass swells)
(metallic impacts)
(low throat chanting)

[BRIDGE — SPOKEN PROPHECY]

(spoken slowly over minimal percussion)

There is...
No glory...
In prolonged suffering

The wise commander
Ends the storm
Before the sky collapses

(silence)

Because hunger...
Kills faster than swords

[FINAL CHORUS — FULL APOCALYPTIC SCALE]

Wage war fast
Break through
Before the fire spreads

For nations die in increments
Long before their people dead

Move now
Move clean
Do not worship rage

The greatest leaders finish wars
Before they poison every age

[OUTRO — COLLAPSING WAR MACHINE]

(distorted marching fades)
(distant screams buried in reverb)
(heavy breathing)

(female whisper)

Even victory...
Can starve a kingdom...

(low horn drones fade into silence)
