Lyrics

Across the salt plain under a copper sky
(銅色の空の下 塩の荒野を越えて)
I found the broken watchtowers where the wind would never die
(風の絶えぬ崩れた見張り塔を見いだした)
The embers in the ash began to circle at my feet
(灰の燼が 足もとで輪を描き始めた)
As if the land remembered every vow it failed to keep
(まるでこの大地が 果たせなかった誓いをすべて憶えているかのように)

A quiet hand inside the smoke
(煙の内にある 静かな手が)
Guided me where no lantern glowed
(灯火の届かぬ場所へと 私を導いた)

Aegis of Ember, rise above the storm
(燼の楯よ 嵐を越えて立ち上がれ)
Carry the last bright oath in a burning form
(最後の輝ける誓いを 燃え盛る姿のまま抱いて進め)
Aegis of Ember, guard the night from fall
(燼の楯よ 夜が堕ちぬよう守れ)
Even if the walls collapse, we will answer all
(たとえ城壁が崩れ落ちても われらはすべてに応えよう)

I crossed the fields of glass where old comets left their scars
(古き彗星が傷跡を残した 硝子の野を渡った)
And heard the distant thunder in the forge beneath the stars
(そして星々の下にある炉の底で 遠雷の響きを聞いた)
The scattered sparks were calling like a chain of voices past
(散った火花は かつての声を連ねた鎖のように呼びかけていた)
Not to mourn what time destroyed but to make a flame that lasts
(時が壊したものを悼むためではなく 永く続く炎を生むために)

When the black winds split in two
(黒き風が二つに裂けるとき)
The heart of fire will speak through you
(火の心がおまえを通して語るであろう)

Aegis of Ember, rise above the storm
(燼の楯よ 嵐を越えて立ち上がれ)
Carry the last bright oath in a burning form
(最後の輝ける誓いを 燃え盛る姿のまま抱いて進め)
Aegis of Ember, guard the night from fall
(燼の楯よ 夜が堕ちぬよう守れ)
Even if the walls collapse, we will answer all
(たとえ城壁が崩れ落ちても われらはすべてに応えよう)

No kingdom waits unbroken
(傷なき王国など存在しない)
No silence stays complete
(完全な沈黙もまた長くは続かない)
We gather what is fading
(われらは失われゆくものを集め)
And set it back to beat
(再び脈打つものへと戻す)
From ruin we will kindle
(廃墟より われらは火を起こす)
A banner made of heat
(熱よりなる旗を掲げるのだ)
With every step the darkness learns retreat
(歩を進めるたび 闇は退くことを知る)

Aegis of Ember, rise above the storm
(燼の楯よ 嵐を越えて立ち上がれ)
Carry the last bright oath in a burning form
(最後の輝ける誓いを 燃え盛る姿のまま抱いて進め)
Aegis of Ember, guard the night from fall
(燼の楯よ 夜が堕ちぬよう守れ)
Even if the walls collapse, we will answer all
(たとえ城壁が崩れ落ちても われらはすべてに応えよう)

Aegis of Ember, break the frozen seal
(燼の楯よ 凍てついた封印を打ち砕け)
Turn every wound to gold, make the hidden future real
(すべての傷を黄金へ変え 隠された未来を現実のものとせよ)
Aegis of Ember, let the broken sky ignite
(燼の楯よ 砕けた空に火を灯せ)
We are the shield of dawn that carries fire through the night
(われらは夜を越えて炎を運ぶ 黎明の楯)

The ember oath still burns where the lost will find it home
(燼の誓いはなお燃えている 失われし者が帰るべき場所で)

Prompt

Compose a relentless symphonic power metal anthem titled Aegis of Ember. Target 202 BPM and keep a true double time drive from start to finish. Open on a sharp snare pickup, blazing twin guitars, and a triumphant orchestral hit that feels like a shield snapping into place. Verses should stay urgent with palm muted riffs, fast bass drum patterns, low strings, and fierce lead vocals. Pre choruses must climb with choir layers, rising toms, and short melodic lifts into the hook. Choruses need huge open chords, stacked female and male harmonies, bold title repetition, and a melody that lands instantly. Add violin and brass lines that shadow the guitars in unison, then break into counter melodies during peaks. Include a solo with alternate picking, sweep arpeggios, and a brief violin answer. Keep the mix bright, punchy, and wide, with crisp kicks, firm bass, sharp mids, and a radiant heavy master. The whole song should feel heroic, fast, and unstoppable. From the first beat, it never lets up
