Lyrics
[Verse]
Deep copper strikes against the anvil floor
A rhythm built to break the heavy door
The kettle drums begin a low, wet grind
While jagged guitars leave spikes behind
[Verse 1]
The white robes ripple like fresh fallen snow
Against the iron, sharpening the blow
He grips the blade, the handle rough and cold
A story of the wounded and the bold
The silver armor gleams beneath the black
As javelins scatter like a sudden crack
[Pre-Chorus]
The ground shakes deep beneath the marching feet
No retreat, no mercy, just the beat
The shadows lengthen in the twilight gray
As day turns into endless, burning day
[Chorus]
Crash the gates! Let the iron fall
Usurp the throne, bend the knee to all
The good and evil war on bloody ground
Where the ancient titles meet their final pound
Crash the gates! Tear the world apart
No safe harbor left inside our hearts
The clash of steel, the roar of beasts
The only truth these dying days will feast
[Verse 2]
She wields a wand that hums with violet light
Seeking out the raven, the wolf, the fright
He swings a hammer, heavy as the night
Driving deep the final, crushing bite
The river runs red, the willow bends low
As armies sleep where the wicked and the true go
[Bridge]
Beneath the earth, the roots begin to rot
The crops have withered, the soil is hot
The harvest is lost, the drought takes hold
A story written in ash and cold
But rise the torch, let the flame take flight
Burn through the fog, burn through the night
[Chorus]
Crash the gates! Let the iron fall
Usurp the throne, bend the knee to all
The good and evil war on bloody ground
Where the ancient titles meet their final pound
Crash the gates! Tear the world apart
No safe harbor left inside our hearts
The clash of steel, the roar of beasts
The only truth these dying days will feastThe kettle drum beats out a final sound
The quiet settles on the cursed ground
The smoke clears up, the dawn breaks free
Leaving only the memory of war and she
