Tapestry of Norman Might
Intro (Dark Ambient) A solemn wind whispers through time, Shrouded chants echo in stone halls. The faint call of horns—foretelling carnage, Shadows stretch across a crimson dawn. Verse 1 (Symphonic Black Metal) From the frozen North came Harald's might, A tempest clad in steel, the dark of night. To Stamford's bridge, the valiant did ride, Clashing swords and shields, where many died. The bridge runs red, his doom is sealed, The wolf’s cry echoes—fate revealed. A Norse king falls 'neath Harold’s hand, Yet greater storms rise to claim this land. Chorus (Choir & Harsh Vocals) Tapestries weave in threads of woe, Bloodlines severed, kingdoms sown. A conqueror rises, the Saxon falls, History’s judgment, written on the walls. In fire and steel, a crown is made, The echoes of empire shall never fade. Verse 2 (Dark Ambient Interlude) From Normandy's shores came a bastard’s claim, William the Bastard, a fierce, unyielding flame. With sword and cross, his armies spread, To stake his right on the Saxon's dead. Hastings awaits with its bitter embrace, Where shields shall splinter, and dreams erase. The earth trembles with the march of fate, A kingdom's ruin lies at death’s gate. Chorus (Choir & Harsh Vocals) Tapestries weave in threads of woe, Bloodlines severed, kingdoms sown. A conqueror rises, the Saxon falls, History’s judgment, written on the walls. In fire and steel, a crown is made, The echoes of empire shall never fade. Bridge (Instrumental, Symphonic & Atmospheric) A mournful cello weeps, backed by a storm of violins. Drums thunder like the gallop of warhorses, While ambient chants rise like specters in the void. The horns of conquest shatter the still, Glimmering blades sing of blood to spill. Flames lick the banners, their colors torn, Fields of corpses, a land reborn. The tide of time washes all away, Yet glory and grief forever stay. Verse 3 (Black Metal Crescendo) On Senlac Hill, Harold makes his stand, His shield wall strong, his weary band. An arrow flies, his sight grows dim, William ascends with a battle hymn. The Bastard crowned as conqueror now, To England’s soil, all must bow. Two kings have fallen, one now remains, A crown of blood, a legacy of chains. Chorus (Choir & Harsh Vocals) Tapestries weave in threads of woe, Bloodlines severed, kingdoms sown. A conqueror rises, the Saxon falls, History’s judgment, written on the walls. In fire and steel, a crown is made, The echoes of empire shall never fade. Outro (Dark Ambient & Whispered Narration) Stitched in gold, the tale endures, Of kings who fought and wounds that cure. From Stamford’s bridge to Hastings’ plight, The Norman’s shadow consumes the light. Now crowned in might, William the Conqueror reigns, His name etched deep in history’s veins.
