(Verse 1) The sanctuary doors are thrown to the gale, Out steps the King, silent and pale. His skin is like marble, his breath is a cloud, Wrapped in a frost-mist, a wintery shroud. "Gravity is our ally! The summit our bow!" He screams to the warriors gathered in the snow. They don’t walk the paths, they don't take the trail, They leap from the cliffs where the eagles would fail! (Pre-Chorus) Plummeting down through the curtains of white, Falling like stars in the middle of night! The Nephilim look up from the boiling mud, To see the sky raining with iron and blood! (Chorus) The Descent! From the roof of the world! With the banners of Enorl and winter unfurled! Like a landslide of silver, a crash of the cold, Shattering the giants, the fierce and the bold! The higher we stood, the harder we strike, Cleaving the dark with a frost-bitten pike! (Verse 2) Erik leads the plunge, his sword like a shard, The landing is brutal, the landing is hard! He crashes through a Nephilim’s helmet of brass, The giant collapses like splinters of glass. The "True Ice" is hungry, it saps at the heat, Freezing the magma beneath their very feet. The Magma-Mages scream as their fires go gray, The Lord of the Sword has come down to play! (Bridge) (The music becomes incredibly fast—intense double-bass drumming) Slide down the rock! Jump through the smoke! The neck of the Warlord is ready to choke! They move like the wind, they strike like the hail, Against the True Ice, the giants shall fail! [Guitar Solo: A high-speed "Diving" solo. Use whammy bar "dive-bombs" and rapid descending scales to simulate the feeling of a 5,000-foot drop] (Verse 3) The ambush is perfect, the valley’s in shock, The King is a blizzard, the King is a rock. He carves through the vanguard, he carves through the line, Seeking the Warlord, the titan of brine. Olxyos bellows, "You think you can win?" As the frost of the blade starts to bite at his skin. But the strike team is fading, the numbers are high, It’s a race to the Warlord before they all die! (Chorus) The Descent! From the roof of the world! With the banners of Enorl and winter unfurled! Like a landslide of silver, a crash of the cold, Shattering the giants, the fierce and the bold! The higher we stood, the harder we strike, Cleaving the dark with a frost-bitten pike! (Outro) Down from the clouds... Into the fire... The funeral of giants... A mountain-side pyre. Lord of the Sword! The ground is shaking! (Sound of a massive impact and a wave of freezing air)
