Lyrics

Beneath the temple roots a buried mouth awakes
(神殿の根の奥深く 葬られた口が目覚める)
Dust lifts from the idols as the black stone breathes
(黒き石が息づくと 偶像から塵が舞い上がる)
A crown of salt fractures in the sleeping vault
(眠れる墓廟で 塩の冠がひび割れる)
The oldest name wakes within the walls
(最古の名が 壁の内で目覚める)

石のまぶたが静かに開く
(Stone eyelids quietly open)
遠い祈りが闇を渡る
(A distant prayer crosses the darkness)
忘れられた空が震え
(The forgotten sky trembles)
封じられた光が地の底で目覚める
(Sealed light awakens in the depths of the earth)

The dead god sings beneath the broken sun
(砕けた太陽の下で 死せる神が歌う)
死せる神の声が夜を裂く
(The dead god’s voice tears through the night)
I feel the buried kingdom move within my bones
(葬られた王国が 我が骨の内で蠢くのを感じる)
その歌が王座を灰へ還す
(Its song returns the throne to ash)

The dead god sings beneath the broken sun
(砕けた太陽の下で 死せる神が歌う)
Let every nameless stone awake
(名もなき石よ ことごとく目覚めよ)
The dead god sings
(死せる神が歌う)

崩れた祭壇を黒い風が巡る
(A black wind circles the shattered altar)
王たちの墓標に亀裂が走る
(Cracks run through the grave markers of kings)
名を失った兵が土から立ち上がる
(Soldiers bereft of their names rise from the earth)
古い誓いが夜の旗を掲げる
(An ancient oath raises the banner of night)

A pale fire bends above the hollow throne
(青白い炎が 虚ろな王座の上で身をしならせる)
Every sealed door trembles in its frame
(封じられた扉はどれも 枠の内で震える)
The sky remembers what the priests erased
(空は 司祭たちが消し去ったものをなお覚えている)
One lost voice becomes a rising tide
(失われた一つの声が 満ちゆく潮となる)

The dead god sings and mountains bow
(死せる神が歌い 山々は頭を垂れる)
死せる神の声が星を曇らす
(The dead god’s voice veils the stars)
The buried oath rises through a thousand wounds
(葬られた誓いが 千の傷口から立ち昇る)
誰も知らぬ朝へ大地が傾く
(The earth tilts toward a dawn no one knows)

我が胸の奥で古い声が目覚める
(An ancient voice awakens deep within my chest)
石の封印が足元で崩れる
(The seal of stone crumbles beneath my feet)
黒い光が裂けた空へ昇り
(Black light ascends into the riven sky)
神々の墓に影が満ちてゆく
(Shadows fill the graves of gods)

声は祈りより深く
(The voice reaches deeper than prayer)
夜はその名を抱いて燃える
(The night burns as it cradles that name)
私は崩れる空を見上げ
(I look up at the collapsing sky)
まだ人のまま歩き出す
(I step forward still human)

Wake beneath the ruined heavens
(崩れた天の下で目覚めよ)
Rise through the dust of vanished kings
(消え去った王たちの塵の中から立ち上がれ)

The dead god sings beneath the newborn fire
(新たに生まれた炎の下で 死せる神が歌う)
死せる神の声が天を穿つ
(The dead god’s voice pierces the heavens)
Every ruined crown crumbles into dust
(滅びた王冠はことごとく 塵へと崩れ去る)
終わりの向こうで世界が目を開く
(Beyond the end the world opens its eyes)
The dead god sings through every scar
(あらゆる傷痕を貫き 死せる神が歌う)
その声を越えて我らは進む
(Beyond that voice we press on)
The dead god sings
(死せる神が歌う)

Beneath the dawn the old throne lies empty
(夜明けのもと 古き王座は虚ろなまま残る)
The dead god sings
(死せる神が歌う)

Prompt

Symphonic death metal with an immediate full-band launch from the first beat; no ambient, orchestral, spoken, or slow-build intro. Double-time feel is the default pulse through most sections, with double bass, blast-driven momentum, tremolo motion, and sharply articulated riffs creating constant forward thrust. Brutality must ride on speed rather than replace it: avoid lumbering slam pacing, prolonged half-time, slow chug-dominant stretches, and oversized breakdowns. Male guttural growls remain the sovereign lead, while female clean vocals provide luminous counterlines and chorus lift without making the song clean-dominant. Keep orchestration but rhythmically supportive so strings, brass and choir never blur drum or guitar attack. Introduce the recurring grave-choir motif only after motion is established. Use a brief mid-song weight shift, then re-accelerate quickly. Favor selective salience, heroic melodic lift, harmonized leads, memorable growl-led hook, and an expanded final return.
