[Intro] [Verse] From icy peaks, the whispers crawl A cosmic wind, a final call The ancient pacts begin to fray As twilight steals the dying day Giants weep in halls of stone Their thrones now dust, their power flown The hammer falls, the shield is rent On what was forged, a world is spent [Pre-Chorus] The æther cracks, the stars grow cold A story etched, forever told Of fleeting might and mortal dread Among the silent, fallen dead [Chorus] Where even gods must fall to dust Beneath the weight of cosmic rust No king, no queen, no memory Survives the final decree A mournful choir, a sacred tear For all that was, and is not here This is the end, the grandest pyre Consuming all in holy fire [Post-Chorus] Holy fire, holy fire Extinguishing desire Holy fire, holy fire To the funeral pyre [Verse] The longships drift on vacant seas No sails to catch the dying breeze The runes grow dim, their magic gone Another age, forever drawn Into the void, the endless night Devoid of hope, devoid of light The serpent sleeps, its venom spent On what was built, a monument [Pre-Chorus] The sacred groves, they turn to ash A fleeting dream, a sudden crash Of all that stood, so proud and tall Answering oblivion's call [Chorus] Where even gods must fall to dust Beneath the weight of cosmic rust No king, no queen, no memory Survives the final decree A mournful choir, a sacred tear For all that was, and is not here This is the end, the grandest pyre Consuming all in holy fire [Bridge] Frozen despair, a solemn vow To face the end, and here and now With dignity, though kingdoms cease To find in ruin, final peace The echoes fade, the thunder dies Beneath unseeing, vacant skies [Instrumental] [Chorus] Where even gods must fall to dust Beneath the weight of cosmic rust No king, no queen, no memory Survives the final decree A mournful choir, a sacred tear For all that was, and is not here This is the end, the grandest pyre Consuming all in holy fire [Outro]
