Lyrics

Beneath a sky of glass the fleet unfurls its name
(硝子のような空の下、艦隊はその名を掲げる)
Runners of hoarfrost cut the ink of whispered maps
(霜の走者が囁きの地図に引かれた墨を断ち切る)
Steel banners clatter like bones against the wind
(鉄の旗は風に打たれて骨のように鳴る)
Helmsmen trace old scars and never look to shore
(舵取りたちは古い傷痕を辿り、決して岸を振り返らない)

A lantern hangs from every prow and trembles
(各舳先にランタンが下がり その灯は細かく震える)
Cold breath writes letters on the brass and rope
(冷たい吐息が真鍮と綱に文字を刻む)

Frostvein armada moves like midnight iron
(氷脈の艦隊は真夜中の鉄のごとく進む)
Sails knit with hail and ghosts of northern light
(帆は雹と北の残光を織り合わせる)
We guide the keel through ribs of sleeping ice
(我らは竜骨を眠れる氷の肋の間へと導く)
The horizon opens like a secret kept
(地平は守られた秘密のように開かれる)

Lantern smoke becomes a shipmates hymn
(ランタンの煙が船仲間たちの賛歌となる)
Hands fold the past into the knot and set it free
(手は過去を結び目へと折り込み、そして解き放つ)
Rigging sings in tongues the elders spoke
(帆綱は先人たちが語った言葉で歌を紡ぐ)
The compass ticks in careful, patient time
(羅針盤は静かに 忍耐の時を刻む)

Wind answers with a low and steady echo
(風は低く落ち着いた反響で応える)
We measure distance with the slow count of stars
(我らは星をゆっくりと数えるその刻みで距離を測る)

Frostvein armada cleaves the frozen lane
(氷脈の艦隊は凍てついた航路を切り裂く)
Our banners leave a wake of silvered frost
(我らの旗は銀色に輝く霜の航跡を残す)
Names carved across the keel will not decay
(竜骨に刻まれた名は朽ちることがない)
We press the night until the dawn is born
(我らは夜を押し進め、夜明けが生まれるその刻まで進む)

Prompt

Produce a cold sweeping melodic power metal production titled Frostvein Armada. Tempo near 230 BPM with driving double bass drums and a galloping pulse that stays roomy. Rhythm guitars use tight palm muted runs in verses and wide harmonized open chords in choruses. Lead guitars play melodic lines with alternate picking and tapping and include a neoclassical solo. Anchor with a large pad and arpeggiated synth bed to summon glacial vastness. Add bell motifs and a violin or synth lead to trade phrases with guitar. Drums should be precise and punchy with toms and controlled fills. Bass locks to kick and offers melodic countermotion in transitions. Vocals need a commanding tenor with clear stacked harmonies in choruses. Add subtle choir textures to thicken climaxes while keeping midrange clarity. Mix verses narrowly and open choruses wide for contrast. Mix for transient detail and clarity while keeping lively dynamics. Master with restrained loudness for streaming preserving impact.
