The Wings of the Reckoning

Lyrics
Verse 1
In shadows cast by empire’s fall,
The crows circle stone and flame.
Steel echoes down the empty hall,
As whispers call my name.
Verse 2
A thousand years of blood and lies,
The throne now rust and dust.
But ancient oaths that never die
Still rise from ash and trust.
Pre-Chorus 1
Ride the storm, face the grave,
From the cradle to the wave
Chorus 1
On the wings of the reckoning, we fly!
Through the fire, past the gates of the sky!
No more silence, no more chains
The dead will rise and speak our names!
Verse 3
Beneath the crypt where tyrants slept,
A blade begins to gleam.
Awoken from the secrets kept,
It burns through every dream.
Pre-Chorus 2
Raise the flame, strike the bell,
Break the lock, unleash the spell
Chorus 2
On the wings of the reckoning, we soar!
Into battle, through the thunderous roar!
Let the fallen rise again,
To cleanse the world of blood and sin!
Breakdown
Ash to steel, dust to flame,
We bear no gods, we take no name.
Bound in chains, now we break free
The storm is us, the prophecy.
Verse 4
The final march, the end begins,
The blackened banners wave.
With every step, the silence thins
No tyrant finds a grave.
Pre-Chorus 3
Seal the fate, end the lie,
Truth is forged where heroes die
Chorus 3
On the wings of the reckoning, we ride!
Through the storm where the angels have cried!
Iron hearts, now forged anew
We bring the dawn with fire and truth!
Bridge
Whispers turn to war cries loud,
The reckoning breaks every shroud.
Outro
And as the silence falls again,
No kings remain, no mortal men.
Just echoes of the reckoning…
Still flying in the endless wind.
