The Song of the Damned

Before the kingdoms, before the flame

Before the gods had spoken a name

There stood an empire beneath the sun

Where ancient darkness and power were one

Verse 1

Born beneath a dying crimson sky

An albino prince who questioned why

A thousand years of blood and flame

An empire rotting beneath its name

Yyrkoon waited, hungry for the crown

While Cymoril dreamed of a world unbound

The emperor called upon the night

And Arioch answered with forbidden might

A kingdom built on sorcery and sin

A dying world with darkness deep within

He sought the strength to break the chain

But every gift would bring him pain

Pre-Chorus

From the depths where ancient shadows sleep

A blackened blade began to speak

Chorus

Stormbringer!

Sing the song of the damned

Blood of kings upon your hands

Stormbringer!

Souls are yours to claim

The world will never be the same

White Wolf rising, kingdoms fall

One last emperor against them all

Through Law and Chaos, fire and thunder

The fate of worlds lies in Stormbringer

Verse 2

Through treachery and ancient hate

He turned against his empire's fate

Imrryr trembled beneath the flame

The Dreaming City would never be the same

The dragons woke beneath the stone

The ancient throne stood all alone

And as the towers kissed the sea

He lost the world that made him free

Cymoril's name became his scar

A distant light beneath the stars

He sailed away from Melniboné

With nothing left to call his own

Verse 3

Across forgotten lands he rode

Through haunted dreams and secret roads

The Fortress of the Pearl appeared

Where mortal thought became a fear

The Singing Citadel called his name

The Sleeping Sorceress stirred again

Through vanishing towers, time unwound

And stranger worlds were waiting to be found

Moonglum beside him, faithful and true

Through dying kingdoms they struggled through

From ancient secrets to distant skies

The White Wolf watched creation's lies

Pre-Chorus

Beyond the stars, beyond the sea

A thousand lives, one destiny

Different faces, one soul reborn

The Champion destined to be torn

Chorus

Stormbringer!

Sing the song of the damned

Blood of kings upon your hands

Stormbringer!

Souls are yours to claim

The world will never be the same

White Wolf rising, kingdoms fall

One last emperor against them all

Through Law and Chaos, fire and thunder

The fate of worlds lies in Stormbringer

Verse 4

Arioch laughs from beyond the veil

While ancient powers begin to wail

The Lords of Chaos raise their hands

And Law prepares its final stand

The Balance watches, cold and still

Beyond the reach of mortal will

No god can own the Champion's soul

No force can ever hold control

Through Tanelorn and worlds unknown

Through distant lives and shattered thrones

Erekosë, Corum, Hawkmoon ride

Different souls, the same divide

The Rose appears, the dream unfolds

A thousand stories yet untold

The White Wolf walks the roads of fate

While heaven's armies gather at the gate

Verse 5

Two black blades beneath the sky

One bears life, one answers why

Mournblade calls from depths below

While Stormbringer knows where all things go

The Black Sword's brothers rise

Dead gods awaken in the skies

The last alliance breaks apart

As Chaos drives its blade through the heart

The Sad Giant stands against the tide

While dying worlds have nowhere left to hide

Moonglum's shadow falls from sight

And Elric faces endless night

Chorus

Stormbringer!

Sing the song of the damned

The last of worlds beneath your hands

Stormbringer!

Drink the final flame

Nothing living will remain

White Wolf falling, heavens torn

From ancient darkness, worlds are born

Through Law and Chaos, death and thunder

The world has fallen to Stormbringer
