Gods Collide

Lyrics

[Intro] Before the first dawn broke the stone Two thrones were carved in flame The sea withdrew, the mountains groaned And heaven spoke their names [Verse 1] Asterion raised a silver blade Above the temple gate Mordrath wore a crown of ash And summoned ruin's weight Their armies formed on fields of glass Where fallen comets lay One swore to guard the mortal breath One swore to end the day [Pre-Chorus] The bells beneath the earth began to ring The clouds split wide for war Every oath became a wing Every wound became a scar [Chorus] Gods collide, the heavens fracture Fire falls like judgment's rain One seeks mercy, one seeks empire Both will drown in blood and flame Raise the dawn, or curse the night Let the final thunder roll When the mighty lose their crowns Who will claim the mortal soul? [Verse 2] The moon was chained behind a shield The sun ran red and low A thousand prayers became a spear That pierced the god below Asterion heard the widows call And lowered his burning hand Mordrath laughed, then split the earth To swallow sea and land [Pre-Chorus] The bells beneath the earth began to ring The clouds split wide for war Every oath became a wing Every wound became a scar [Chorus] Gods collide, the heavens fracture Fire falls like judgment's rain One seeks mercy, one seeks empire Both will drown in blood and flame Raise the dawn, or curse the night Let the final thunder roll When the mighty lose their crowns Who will claim the mortal soul? [Bridge] Then from the dust a child arose With neither crown nor blade She held the names of every dead And called the gods afraid "You built your thrones on mortal bones You fed your pride with grief No heaven stands above the world When power kills belief" [Breakdown] The silver blade fell into sand The ash crown cracked in two The storm released the silent land And morning pierced the blue [Final Chorus] Gods collide, the heavens fracture But the earth survives the flame No throne is higher than compassion No immortal owns our name Raise the dawn, release the night Let the final thunder fade When the mighty lose their crowns We decide what must be saved [Outro] Before the next dawn crowns the stone Remember what we learned The gods may rage above the world But we are not their war
