Throne of Thunder

Lyrics

[Intro] [Dramatic orchestral swells, heavy double-bass drum rolls, choir chanting in Latin] [Verse 1] Thunder tears the heavens wide, the silver vault is cracked A thousand years of silent wrath, the ultimate compact Upon the peaks of obsidian, the ancient thrones arise As lightning writes a testament across the bleeding skies He of the Hammer, He of the Blade Two titans bound by a vow betrayed [Chorus] Now the sky falls, iron and fire Gods in the tempest, caught in the pyre Shields of gold splintering bright Vanquished to ash in the eternal night Hear the brass roaring, feel the earth shake When the heavens break! [Verse 2] The sea god swings his trident high, a tidal wave of steel The sun king burns with blinding light, demanding all to kneel A clash of cold eternity against a burning sun Until the stars themselves are dead and the war of realms is won No mortal eye can bear to see The end of their divinity [Chorus] Now the sky falls, iron and fire Gods in the tempest, caught in the pyre Shields of gold splintering bright Vanquished to ash in the eternal night Hear the brass roaring, feel the earth shake When the heavens break! [Guitar Solo] [Fast, neoclassical sweeps, soaring melodic pitch bends, heavy symphonic backing] [Bridge] [Choir only, ominous and slow] Aeterna... Pugna... Deorum... [Guitars and drums burst back in, ultra-fast tempo] The hammer falls! The trident shatters! Only ashes remain! [Chorus] Now the sky falls, iron and fire Gods in the tempest, caught in the pyre Shields of gold splintering bright Vanquished to ash in the eternal night Hear the brass roaring, feel the earth shake When the heavens break! [Outro] The storm subsides to quiet dust Beneath the weight of ancient rust [Soprano solo fading out] The silence of the gods... [Dramatic final orchestral chord, heavy crash]
