Lyrics

Through fractured stone I glimpse the dawn
(砕けた石の間から夜明けを垣間見る)
Shadows rise as hope is withdrawn
(希望が失われ、影が立ち上る)
Echoes drift in corridors of pain
(痛みの回廊に残響が漂う)
Sanctuary lost to endless rain
(終わりなき雨により聖域は失われた)

Consume the light
(光を喰らえ)

Pillars crumble under hollow cries
(虚ろな叫びの下、柱は崩れ落ちる)
Veiled lament adorns the skies
(帳に包まれた嘆きが空を飾る)
Blood and ash inscribe the broken gate
(血と灰が砕けた門に刻まれる)
Rituals bind my cursed fate
(儀式が呪われた運命を縛りつける)

忘れられし聖域の灯火
(The light of the forgotten sanctum)
闇の中で揺らめき
(Flickering within the darkness)

魂を掻き鳴らせ この刃で
(Sound the soul with this blade)
亜空を裂きて導け
(Rip through the void and guide it)
滅びの中に宿る光を
(The light that dwells within destruction)
叫べば応える残響
(The echoes respond when you cry out)

たとえ影と化しても
(Even if I become a shadow)
祈りは届くと知る
(I know the prayer will reach)

In ruins we kneel beneath the ravens’ wings
(廃墟の中、我らは鴉の翼の下にひざまずく)
Bound by fate’s lament, yet yearning to sing
(運命の嘆きに縛られながらも、歌いたいと願う)

I stand amidst the echo of lost prayers
(失われた祈りの残響の中に私は立つ)
Steel resolves in blood-soaked layers
(血に染まった重なりの中で鉄の意志が固まる)
Through sacred dust my spirit ascends
(聖なる灰を越えて私の魂は昇る)
Beyond the veil where darkness ends
(闇の彼方の帳を越えて)

繰り返す時の鎖を断ち
(Cleave the chains of repeating time)
残滓の中に誓いを見た
(I saw my vow within the remnants)
目覚める刃が刻む未来
(The awakening blade carves out the future)
今此処に刻み続ける
(Now and here, I continue to etch)

Embrace the void
(虚無を抱け)

Prompt

At 240 BPM this symphonic black metal onslaught unleashes blast beats and double bass. It shatters all serenity. Tremolo-picked guitars carve riffs and melodies, while orchestral swells weave countermelodies to forge a wall of sound. Key shifts and orchestral stabs punctuate transitions, contrasting with breakdowns of chugs. Verses explode with guttural growls; in the pre-chorus ethereal female cleans soar above drums. The chorus ignites with a soaring melodic hook by male vocals, underpinned by choral harmonies that evoke forsaken cathedrals. A whispered spoken-word bridge injects dread before a solo showcases sweep picking, tapping, and harmonized leads. Ambient interludes-a distant chant over sustained pads-offer respite before plunging back into ferocity. Dynamic shifts amplify tension, culminating in a final cathedral-like swell that fades into echoing choir and rumbling toms. This composition melds intensity with baroque grandeur, guiding the listener through a desolate sanctum.!
