Dirge of the Ironjaw

[Intro] (low sutra-style chant, wordless, building over a single war drum) Nekra... Nekra... hoc animus tibi... [Chant Verse 1] (rhythmic, percussive monk-chant delivery, half-sung half-spoken) Born of stone and orcish flame Ironjaw wore a mortal name Ritual fire, the oath was made Flesh into shadow, man to blade [Build] (strings and brass swelling under the chant) Odoc calls — the Legion rises Nekra whispers her disguises Death and darkness, bound as one Anderson walks where light is none [CHORUS — Full Choir, Triumphant/Terrible] IRONJAW! SERVANT OF THE NIGHT! COUNCIL OF SHADOWS, MARCH TO FIGHT! NEKRA'S CHOSEN, ODOC'S BLADE! UNDYING OATH THAT NEVER FADES! IRONJAW! HEAR THE DEATH DRUMS CALL! EASTGARDE TREMBLES — WATCH IT FALL! [Chant Verse 2] (back to rhythmic chant, faster, more urgent) Ten years the Lich King dreamed alone Nekra's voice became his own The Ritual burned, the mages fell Reborn as lords of the necro-spell [Chant Verse 3] Beside him walks the vampire lord Flair and Ironjaw, bone and cord Thorns of Nekra, Cursed Souls cry Beneath a black, undying sky [Bridge — Sparse, Ominous] (near-silence, low choir drone, single voice) No heart... no home... no mortal breath... Only the Legion... only death... He was mercy once... Now he is the storm... [Final Chant Build] (chant returns, faster, layering into full choir) Nekra calls him, Odoc leads Vengeance sown like blackened seeds Anderson rises, undead, true The Midnight Legion's dark tattoo [FINAL CHORUS — Full Orchestra + Choir, Maximum Intensity] IRONJAW! SERVANT OF THE NIGHT! COUNCIL OF SHADOWS, MARCH TO FIGHT! NEKRA'S CHOSEN, ODOC'S BLADE! UNDYING OATH THAT NEVER FADES! IRONJAW! HEAR THE DEATH DRUMS CALL! EASTGARDE TREMBLES — WATCH IT FALL! [Outro] (chant fades back to the lone drum and whisper) Nekra... Nekra... hoc animus tibi... Ironjaw answers... 'til Eastgarde falls...
