[Intro - Palm-muted, machine-gun snare]
Iron breath, the night ignites, a thunder in the seam
Cinders fall like counting lies — wake up from the dream
(Drums build)
[Verse 1 - Tight, rhythmic delivery]
Beneath iron moons and siege-smoke skies,
We march on cobblestones of ash and wire—
Boots stamp the code where the old oath dies,
Hammered hearts against the forges higher.
Obsidian edge, we carve our names in flame,
Rivet the bones of a world that forgot us—
Every scar a sigil, every wound a claim,
Steel and blood and truth in the chaos' cross.
[Pre-Chorus - open, rising]
Hear the anvils calling, feel the fever climb,
No whispers here—just the cadence of time.
(Lead vocal climbs)
[Chorus - Open, anthemic, chantable / Gang vocals join]
We burn the sky, we break the seam — (We burn the sky!)
Legions rise, ignite the dream — (Legions rise!)
Ash-forged names, crimson banners stream,
We will not fade — we'll never fall! (We'll never fall!)
[Verse 2 - More aggressive, palm-muted then open on last line]
Obsidian banners snap like a verdict called,
Crimson stitches stitch the night to spite—
Siege of the brave, the weak are scalded and mauled,
Iron wills collide in the teeth of light.
Echoes hammer through the canyoned bone,
Cathedrals crumble but our chorus grows—
From ruined keeps to the fields overthrown,
We bring the kindling where the ember glows.
[Pre-Chorus - tighter rhythm, internal rhyme]
Beat by beat, we bind the broken line,
Ash to crown, we claim the fallen sign.
[Chorus - Stronger, gang vocals, call-and-response]
We burn the sky, we break the seam — (Break the seam!)
Legions rise, ignite the dream — (Ignite the dream!)
Ash-forged names, crimson banners stream,
We will not fade — we'll never fall!
[Bridge - Quiet, clean vocal; contrast; build to crescendo]
[Quiet, melodic]
From the ash a whisper — a hollow becomes a hymn,
A phoenix with soot in its wing, eyes rimmed in sin.
Remember the faces that the fires could not dim,
Hold the ember steady — the dawn will answer him.
[Build - half-time, layered harmonies]
(Hum softly, layering) Rise…
(Harmonies thicken) Rise…
[Crescendo / Gang-vocal scream]
Rise with us — RISE!
(Lead + gang, doubled, fierce)
[Solo Break - instrumental lead over chant]
(Lead guitar soars; palm-muted staccato beneath)
[Final Chorus - Full, doubled vocals, anthem peak]
We burn the sky, we break the seam — (We burn the sky!)
Legions rise, ignite the dream — (Legions rise!)
Ash-forged names, crimson banners stream,
Bound by iron, breaking the seam — (Break the seam!)
We will not fade — we'll never fall!
We will not fade — we'll never fall!
[Outro - Decrescendo, spoken/growled epilogue]
In obsidian night we carve our creed,
Ash on our tongues, yet the future we feed.
Legions lead where the lost take heed—
Forever loud, forever free: Obsidian Legions lead.
[Performance notes: palm-muted verses, open harmonic chorus; bridge clean vocal that crescendos into doubled scream; dual-guitar lead during solo; gang-vocal call‑
