Lyrics

黒い風が眠る聖域に
(In the sanctuary where the black wind sleeps)
砕けた星の残光が降る
(The afterglow of shattered stars descends)

煤けた塔の窓に映る月は割れ
(The moon reflected in the soot-stained tower window lies shattered)
沈黙の水面で名もない火が揺れる
(A nameless flame trembles on the silent water)
影を縫うように歩く白い指先
(Pale fingertips thread their way through the shadows)
封じられた祈りが骨の奥で軋む
(A sealed prayer grates deep within the bones)

深い眠りの底から
(From the depths of slumber)
誰かが私を呼ぶ
(Someone is calling me)

闇を裂く刃よ 今目覚めろ
(O blade that splits the dark, awaken now)
朽ちた天蓋に雷鳴を刻め
(Carve thunder into the ruined firmament)
迷いを抱いたままでも進める
(Even while I carry doubt, I can still go on)
この夜を終わらせるために
(To bring this night to its end)

灰の回廊で仮面たちが踊り
(In the ash-gray corridors, masks dance)
透明な鐘が遠い罪を告げる
(Transparent bells proclaim a sin of distant days)
失われた王の夢を拾い集め
(I gather up the dreams of a lost king)
黒曜の花へと息を吹き込む
(And breathe them into obsidian blooms)

凍てつく空の裂け目に
(In the rift of the frozen sky)
未来の灯が瞬く
(The light of the future flickers)

地の底が唸り
(The depths beneath the earth rumble)
砕けた翼が舞う
(Shattered wings take flight)

名を捨てよ
(Cast away your name)
恐れを捨てよ
(Cast away your fear)
闇は罰ではない
(Darkness is not a punishment)
選ばれし者の証だ
(It is the mark of the chosen)

闇を裂く刃よ 今目覚めろ
(O blade that splits the dark, awaken now)
朽ちた天蓋に雷鳴を刻め
(Carve thunder into the ruined firmament)
迷いを抱いたままでも進める
(Even while I carry doubt, I can still go on)
この夜を終わらせるために
(To bring this night to its end)

Blade of Shadow 灯なき世界へ道を穿て
(Blade of Shadow, bore a path into a world without light)
滅びの先に朝がなくとも
(Even if there is no dawn beyond the ruins)
我らは歌う 影を超えて
(We sing beyond the shadow)

静寂の王座に 新たな影が立つ
(Upon the throne of silence a new shadow stands)

Prompt

A brutal symphonic death and black metal anthem at 228 BPM, built for a dark fantasy thumbnail with stormlit ruins, a lone sorceress, and a blade of lightning. Drive the song with relentless blast beats, double bass surges, and tremolo-picked guitars that move like cold steel through smoke. Let the orchestration be vast and cinematic, with icy strings, brass detonations, cathedral choir swells, and eerie bell tones that frame the aggression rather than soften it. Verses should feel fast and merciless, while the pre chorus opens into a haunting melodic lift carried by female vocals and high choir harmonies. The chorus must be huge, heroic, tragic, with soaring male vocals cutting above the storm. Add a brutal breakdown in the middle with half-time chugs and punishing percussion, then return to a final chorus that feels like an apocalyptic coronation. Keep the atmosphere dark, fantastical, and arrogant, like a cursed emperor ascending through thunder. Emphasize tension, grandeur, beauty.
