Lyrics

Title: “The Pact of Ten”
(a cursed ballad from the old world)

(Whispered intro)
Hush now, child, don’t look ahead—
The pact was made, and kings have bled.
Ten were chosen, none were true…
One will live, and that one’s you.

⸻

(Verse 1)
Azael rides with wolves in tow,
Eyes like coal and a voice like snow.
Velmira chants in cursed tongues,
She speaks to gods with rotted lungs.

Drekhan bathes in boiling steel,
His army roars—they do not feel.
Thorne the Hollow, crowned with bone,
Drinks his wine on a throne alone.

(Refrain – low and slow)
Oh, ten were sworn beneath black flame,
Each carved death into their name.
One for power, one for pain,
All will march, none remain.

⸻

(Verse 2)
Sable Wren, the siren queen,
Flays her foes in silken sheen.
Kael of Dust, no face, no past,
Born to kill, made to last.

Nyrix, once a priest of light,
Now bleeds stars into the night.
Morrin Vane with silver eyes,
Builds her empire out of lies.

Tarric Crow, last of kin,
Marks his kills with a serpent’s grin.

⸻

(Chorus – like a spell)
Bind their names in blood and ash,
Wake the storm, let thunder crash.
Ten were forged and nine shall fall,
One will rule… one will crawl.

⸻

(Bridge – dissonant, almost whispered)
Steel sings in shadowed halls…
They dance while the old world falls.
None were born to mercy’s throne,
Each will burn to stand alone.

⸻

(Final Chorus – grand, apocalyptic)
Ten were bound by oath and chain,
Lust for fire, thirst for pain.
Hearts turned black, the stars turned red,
And the pact of ten… was writ in dread.
