Lyrics
START
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Beneath the pallor of a dying sun
Where silence weighs upon the frozen earth
I trace the footsteps of the fallen ones
Who sought the summit and found only death
The wind carries their whispers still
Through corridors of ice and stone
Each gust a requiem, a warning chill
That I will never leave this mountain alone
Pre-Chorus
Ascending through the veil
Where breath becomes a prayer
The mountain shows no mercy
To those who dare
Chorus
He waits upon his throne of bone
A sovereign wreathed in flame
His scales reflect the ages
His eyes remember every name
The crown sits heavy on his ancient brow
As smoke unfurls like silk
And I am standing at the precipice now
Where mortal blood will spill
Verse 2
The path is lined with rusted swords
And armor split by talon's kiss
The mountain keeps its grim records
Of every soul that came to this
Black wings eclipse the fading light
As embers dance on frozen air
His kingdom built on endless night
And all the gold that glitters there
Pre-Chorus
Ascending through the veil
Where breath becomes a prayer
The mountain shows no mercy
To those who dare
Chorus
He waits upon his throne of bone
A sovereign wreathed in flame
His scales reflect the ages
His eyes remember every name
The crown sits heavy on his ancient brow
As smoke unfurls like silk
And I am standing at the precipice now
Where mortal blood will spill
AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
Bridge
In the space between the heartbeat and the blade
Where time collapses into nothing
I see the choice that I have made
And feel the mountain's pulse, its suffering
AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
Breakdown-Solo
Final Chorus
He wears his throne of bone
A sovereign wreathed in flame
His scales reflect the ages
His eyes remember every name
The crown sits heavy on his ancient brow
As smoke unfurls like silk
And I am falling from the precipice now
My mortal blood will spill
Outro
The mountain keeps its secrets well
Beneath the snow, beneath the stone
Where dragons dream and warriors fell
Forever on this frozen throne
