Horns of the Fallen (Replaced 2)

Verse 1

A time before the oceans rose

And drowned the ancient lands

When sorcery and blood and steel

Filled the grip of mortal hands

A million kings have come and gone

A thousand armies slain

And Gath of Baal stood all alone

In the Kitzaak's bloody rain His hands were iron, heart was stone

His courage pure and high

But no man stands against the dark

With an empty battle cry

So Gath invoked the ancient powers

And the gods they gave their aid

But heaven's gift comes with a price

And the debt must still be paid

Pre-Chorus

There is a power buried deeper

Than the blood beneath the stone

A crown of horns, a cursed inheritance

A kingdom built upon a throne

Chorus

Ride through the fire

Ride through the flame

No god can command him

No grave can contain

The world will remember

The darkness will know

When the horns of the fallen

Begin to glow

Verse 3

A helmet forged in ancient evil

A living prison cold and black

He wore the curse to save the many

But there would be no turning back

The man was buried underneath it

The warrior consumed by rage

A weapon walking through the ages

A beast imprisoned in a cage

Verse 4

But innocence could still awaken

What the ancient darkness stole

Robin Lakehair, the light within him

The fragile tether to his soul

And Tiyy, the Queen of Pryam's shadows

Called the ancient horrors near

From the deepest wells of mankind's terror

Rose the things that gods would fear

Chorus

Ride through the fire

Ride through the flame

No god can command him

No grave can contain

The world will remember

The darkness will know

When the horns of the fallen

Begin to glow

Verse 5

Beyond the borders of the waking

Where dreams and nightmares intertwine

A distant kingdom waits in silence

Beyond the reach of mortal time

Noon, the Queen of Cats, awaits him

In a realm of tooth and claw

But treachery walks beside the faithful

And darkness hides behind the law

Verse 6

Now refugees seek shelter at Whitetree

While prophecy begins to rise

The White Veshta waits for resurrection

As blackened magic fills the skies

Tiyy wears the mantle of the Black One

And hunts the jewels of ancient light

Robin stands between the powers

A mortal soul within their fight

Chorus

Ride through the fire

Ride through the flame

The gods may forget him

But the earth knows his name

Through kingdoms of shadows

Through blood, through the snow

He rides where the ancient

And terrible powers grow

He is the shadow

He is the blade

He is the price

That the gods never paid

Ride through the fire

Ride through the flame

No god can command him

No grave can contain

The world will remember

The darkness will know

When the horns of the fallen

Begin to glow
