Text
[INTRO - 65 BPM]
[Cold Wind, Distant Ravens, Funeral Bell]
[Deep Gregorian Monks Chanting in Latin]
[Low Drones, Distant War Drums]
[Deep Whispered Male Voice]
Lives that refuse to surrender...
At the threshold they stand.
Fear is burning in their eyes,
As death reaches out its hand.
Between the mud and blood,
Between the heavens and the end...
There are souls still fighting...
[Gregorian Choir Swells]
THEY REFUSE TO REST!
[RIFF - 100 BPM]
[Heavy Guitars, Double Kick, Brass]
[VERSE 1]
Black night, frozen wind,
Death is walking through the land.
Scythe in hand, lost in shadows,
Seeking names to erase.
Broken bodies, fading voices,
Lost prayers swallowed by the night.
But one heartbeat still remains...
ONE REASON LEFT TO FIGHT!
[VERSE 2 - 110 BPM]
[Galloping Riffs]
The warrior rises from the dead,
Among the shattered steel.
Blood upon his chest,
Fire no death can steal.
Bitter earth, smoke and gunpowder,
He looks up and grits his teeth:
I WILL NEVER YIELD!
[PRE-CHORUS - 118 BPM]
[Orchestra Builds, Drums Stop]
Though his body cannot bear it,
Though death is closing in,
While a single breath remains...
HE WILL NOT GIVE IN!
[CHORUS - 130 BPM]
[Massive Choir, Full Symphonic Metal]
LIVES THAT REFUSE TO SURRENDER,
AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE END.
NAILS DIG DEEP INTO THE MUD,
WE WILL NEVER BREAK OR BEND!
LIVES THAT REFUSE TO SURRENDER,
SCREAMING WITH NO VOICE LEFT TO CALL.
WHO WILL REMEMBER THEIR NAMES
IF DAWN NEVER SEES THEM AT ALL?
[Gang Choir]
WE WILL NEVER BREAK OR BEND!
WE WILL NEVER BREAK OR BEND!
[GUITAR SOLO - 140 BPM]
[Fast Twin Guitars, Orchestra, Double Kick]
[VERSE 3 - 100 BPM]
[Clean Guitar, Low Strings, Emotional Half-Time]
His hand trembles in the mud,
Searching for a face he knows.
A child's eyes are staring at him,
But their light is gone.
He swallows tears, suppresses grief,
Refusing to collapse.
He closes his eyes and swears:
[Whispered Voice, Soft Monks]
BROTHER...
I WILL REMEMBER YOU.
[VERSE 4 - 108 BPM]
[Dark Orchestra, Ghostly Voices]
Through the smoke, he sees their faces,
Those he thought were gone.
His father and his brother call:
Come with us...
Come along...
He steps into the shadows,
Feels death drawing near...
[SILENCE - WIND AND RAVEN]
IT IS NOT YOUR TIME!
[Choir and Drums Explode]
YOU STILL HAVE A FIGHT TO FIGHT!
[CHORUS - 130 BPM]
[Massive Choir]
LIVES THAT REFUSE TO SURRENDER,
AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE END.
NAILS DIG DEEP INTO THE MUD,
WE WILL NEVER BREAK OR BEND!
BROKEN BODIES, WOUNDED SOULS,
STILL SEARCHING FOR A REASON WHY.
WHILE A SINGLE HEARTBEAT REMAINS...
THE HEART WILL NEVER DIE!
[BRIDGE - 72 BPM]
[Whispered Prayer, Piano, Cello, Monks]
His sword lies broken...
His body can take no more.
He falls to his knees...
Still refusing to rest.
He drives his steel into the earth,
Looks up toward heaven...
[Strings Rise]
DO NOT ABANDON ME, MY LORD!
GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH!
GIVE ME YOUR POWER!
[BREAKDOWN - 85 BPM]
[Heavy Half-Time, War Drums, Low Choir]
[LEAD]

[CHOIR]
Ooooooh...

[CHOIR]

[INSTRUMENTAL - 100 BPM]

Oooo, oooo, ooo, ooo, ooooo...
Oooo, oooo, ooo, ooo, ooooo...
