The Veil and the Vortex

“Awaken… awaken…” The earth splits wide — I tear the sky, From bone and ash, the dead will rise! [Verse 1] Shadows crawl through crimson sand, The crown of death clenched in my hand. Veins of rot, the heart unmade, I am the storm the gods betrayed! [Pre-Chorus] Oaths of blood, unbroken chain, Summoned souls through endless pain! The graves ignite, the storm believes — All hail the lord the world deceives! [Chorus] From the veil and the vortex, rise my kin! Through fleshless hate, our war begins! Through crimson mist, through frozen screams, We march through fire and shattered dreams! *(Choir, behind)* “Arise, arise, my legion pale, Let blood and bone retell the tale…” [Breakdown 1] Rise! From dirt to crown! The living drown! The dead renown! (Growl layered) No dawn, no grace, no breath, no light — I am the grave, I am the night! [Verse 2] Steel and rot, the pact is sealed, The moon bleeds black above the field. Echoed screams through temples torn, The newborn plague of the dead reborn. [Pre-Chorus] Ancient tongues defy decay, The heart of gods I tear away! Thunder cracks, the heavens grieve — Bow before what you conceived! [Chorus] From the veil and the vortex, rise my kin! Through lifeless hate, the wars begin! The bones of kings, the skulls of thieves, Now march beneath the banner of grief! [Bridge] “I summon storms, I shatter thrones, Their prayers are dust, their faith is bones. No sun remains, no mercy burns — Only the dark, and what it learns.” [Breakdown 2] Bleed the sky — let thunder scream! Carve the end into the dream! The dead obey — their silence sings, The crown decays — the void now rings! [Final Chorus] (Choir) “Awaken… awaken…” (Growl overlay) From the veil and the vortex — rise! Rise! Through the endless pit we’ll climb! The blood moon burns, the world deceives — Eternal reign of One-Eyed Steve! (or insert your necro-lord’s name) [Outro] “The grave shall sing… The crown shall break… And darkness reign… Within the wake…”
