[Intro]
White veil in the smoke
Gold ring in the ash
The bride did not weep
When the roof began to crash

[Verse]
They dressed her hair with winter flowers
They sang of peace between the towers
Two clans would bind what swords had torn
A softer dawn was almost born
But riders came through pine and flame
With painted shields and mouths of shame
They saw the crest above the door
And fed the feud one killing more

[Pre-Chorus]
The harp fell silent
The torches screamed
A promise died
Before it dreamed

[Chorus]
Bride of the Burning Hall
She stood where the red beams fall
Bride of the Burning Hall
She heard the blood moon call
Not for vengeance, not for pride
But for the love that war denied
In smoke and sorrow, straight and tall
She cursed them from the burning hall

[Verse]
Her groom lay bleeding by the stairs
His brother tangled in her prayers
Her father raised a broken sword
Then vanished under flaming boards
She held the ring against her chest
A small bright sun that could not rest
And through the roar, her voice was clear
You killed the future standing here

[Pre-Chorus]
The roof became
A crown of fire
The old feud climbed
A wedding pyre

[Chorus]
Bride of the Burning Hall
She stood where the red beams fall
Bride of the Burning Hall
She heard the blood moon call
Not for vengeance, not for pride
But for the love that war denied
In smoke and sorrow, straight and tall
She cursed them from the burning hall

[Instrumental]
Slow drums pulse like a dying heart
Folk strings tear the dark apart
Growls and clean cries intertwine
As flame devours the marriage sign

[Bridge]
If one hand had opened
If one blade had slept
If one elder had listened
No bride would have wept
But pride is a fire
That feeds on the young
And peace is the song
Too seldom sung

[Breakdown]
Burn the veil
Burn the name
Burn the oath
Burn the shame
Ash to ash
Stone to stone
No one wins
When all alone

[Build-up]
She walked through sparks like falling stars
Past broken shields and blackened scars
And when she reached the open snow
The blood moon dimmed its crimson glow

[Chorus]
Bride of the Burning Hall
She stood where the red beams fall
Bride of the Burning Hall
She heard the blood moon call
Not for vengeance, not for pride
But for the love that war denied
In smoke and sorrow, straight and tall
She cursed them from the burning hall

[Chorus]
Bride of the Burning Hall
Her curse moved over one and all
Bride of the Burning Hall
She named the end behind the call
When every son has turned to dust
And every sword has broken trust
Remember her above it all
The bride within the burning hall

[Outro]
White veil in the smoke
Gold ring in the ash
The bride walked into legend
As the old world crashed
