(Epic Metal Opera in the Style of Wagner) I. Overture – The Gathering Storm Brass fanfares split the sky, Thunder rides on wings of fate. Drums like giants’ marching steps, Heralding the final gate. Strings swirl like a rising tempest— The world holds its trembling breath… II. Verse I – Prophecy of the Norns From the roots of the ash-born world tree, Where shadows coil around the runes, Three weavers whisper threads of destiny, By torchlight and by silver moons. In the void their voices echo, Calling forth the warrior’s name— A soul forged in ancient fire, Marked by glory, bound by flame. III. Chorus – Rise, Immortal King! Rise! Immortal King, arise! Let the heavens burn with battle cries! Through ash and storm your path is clear— Valhalla calls, the end draws near! Ride! Into the crimson night! Where the fallen stand, reborn in light. Raise your sword—let legends sing: Valhalla’s chosen… the Eternal King! IV. Verse II – The March of the Fallen Hosts Iron-shod hooves shake the mountains, Shields resound in unison roar. Spears shimmer like a sea of lightning, Warriors rise to fight once more. Their ghostly banners whip the star-winds, Tattered yet forever proud— A spectral legion carved from memory, Thunderbound, unbroken, loud. V. Bridge – Duel Beneath the Burning Sky Flames twist like serpents overhead, The twilight realm begins to bleed. Two fates collide in shattered silence— Steel meets steel, oath meets creed. A choir of rage and revelation Choirs surge like storm-torn seas— A final stand of wrath and wonder, Echoing through eternity. VI. Final Chorus – Valhalla Ascendant Ascend! Ascend, O Warrior! Let the heavens roar your name forevermore! Across the stars, your glory shines— Beyond the end of mortal lines. Rise! Eternal flame of night! Guide the lost with blazing light. Through realms unknown your spirit soars— A saga carved in thunder’s core. VII. Coda – The Gates of Gold As the symphony fades into dawn, Golden gates slowly open wide. A choir of a thousand heroes Welcomes you to the other side. And the world below remembers— In storms, in stone, in song— The warrior who defied the twilight, And rose to where the gods belong.
