[Intro]
No thunder came
No ravens cried
The gods turned silent
When our children died

[Verse]
We carried bodies through the grey
Until our arms forgot their strength
The field stretched wider than our grief
A kingdom measured corpse by length
The temples waited cold and bare
No omen moved the altar flame
We begged the dark for one reply
But no god answered to our name

[Pre-Chorus]
Only wind
Only stone
Only mothers
Walking alone

[Chorus]
When the Gods Turned Silent
We heard the truth beneath the snow
When the Gods Turned Silent
There was nowhere left to go
No hand from heaven, no holy sign
No feast in halls beyond the pine
Only the echo of what we had done
Beneath the dying northern sun

[Verse]
The chieftains lay with open mouths
As if still ordering men to bleed
Their crowns were frost, their thrones were mud
Their legacy was salted seed
A child placed flowers on both sides
Not knowing which old names to hate
And in that small and trembling hand
The world arrived one breath too late

[Pre-Chorus]
Only ash
Only breath
Only snow
Covering death

[Chorus]
When the Gods Turned Silent
We heard the truth beneath the snow
When the Gods Turned Silent
There was nowhere left to go
No hand from heaven, no holy sign
No feast in halls beyond the pine
Only the echo of what we had done
Beneath the dying northern sun

[Instrumental]
Slow drums like distant burial feet
Low strings weep where shadows meet
Guitars descend in waves of stone
A choir hums like earth alone

[Bridge]
We blamed the sky for human knives
We blamed the dead for broken lives
We called our hunger sacred law
And crowned the ruin that we saw

[Breakdown]
No god spoke
No star fell
No horn opened
Golden halls
Only silence
Only shame
Only blood
Without a name

[Build-up]
Then one survivor raised his eyes
To where the red moon scarred the skies
And understood its burning light
Was not a call, but warning bright

[Chorus]
When the Gods Turned Silent
We heard the truth beneath the snow
When the Gods Turned Silent
There was nowhere left to go
No hand from heaven, no holy sign
No feast in halls beyond the pine
Only the echo of what we had done
Beneath the dying northern sun

[Chorus]
When the Gods Turned Silent
The old lies withered in the cold
When the Gods Turned Silent
No song could make the slaughter bold
We were the storm, we were the blade
We were the doom our pride had made
Only the echo of what we had done
Beneath the dying northern sun

[Outro]
No thunder came
No ravens cried
The gods turned silent
And so did pride
