Lyrics
[Verse]
Smoke claws the sky
The air is death
Kingdom crumbles with each breath
Swords clash
But hope grows thin
The mad king laughs
His shadow wide
Blood-soaked earth
Where angels died
This war
We cannot win
[Prechorus]
The light falters
Flickers
Fades
The cost of mercy
Heavy blade
[Chorus]
Darkness ascends
Will he fall?
To save them all
To heed the call?
Kingdom or soul
What’s the price?
A darker king must now arise!
[Verse 2]
His queen’s tears burn
Her voice a plea
“Don’t lose yourself
Come back to me!”
The stars above refuse to shine
The enemy's rage
A blackened tide
His people scream
There’s no place to hide
Time is gone
The choice is mine
[Prechorus]
The heart shatters
A brittle cage
The fire grows
A boundless rage
[Chorus]
Darkness ascends
Will he fall?
To save them all
To heed the call?
Kingdom or soul
What’s the price?
A darker king must now arise!
Smoke claws the sky
The air is death
Kingdom crumbles with each breath
Swords clash
But hope grows thin
The mad king laughs
His shadow wide
Blood-soaked earth
Where angels died
This war
We cannot win
[Prechorus]
The light falters
Flickers
Fades
The cost of mercy
Heavy blade
[Chorus]
Darkness ascends
Will he fall?
To save them all
To heed the call?
Kingdom or soul
What’s the price?
A darker king must now arise!
[Verse 2]
His queen’s tears burn
Her voice a plea
“Don’t lose yourself
Come back to me!”
The stars above refuse to shine
The enemy's rage
A blackened tide
His people scream
There’s no place to hide
Time is gone
The choice is mine
[Prechorus]
The heart shatters
A brittle cage
The fire grows
A boundless rage
[Chorus]
Darkness ascends
Will he fall?
To save them all
To heed the call?
Kingdom or soul
What’s the price?
A darker king must now arise!
