[Intro]
At the edge of the world
Where the black waves mourn
We watched the last red light
Leave the horns of dawn

[Verse]
No army stood beside us now
No chieftain called the morning brave
We were the few the war forgot
The breath that wandered past the grave
We laid the swords beneath the ash
We broke the shields that bore our lies
And every name we used for hate
Was carried out by northern skies

[Pre-Chorus]
The moon went low
The sea was still
No blood remained
For pride to spill

[Chorus]
The Blood Moon Sets beyond the sea
And leaves the dark inside of me
The Blood Moon Sets, no victory won
Only the grief of what we’ve done
It did not call us into war
It warned what we were bleeding for
Now red fades out, and truth begins
The Blood Moon Sets on all our sins

[Verse]
We built one mound for every dead
No clan divided stone from stone
For in the earth, all banners fail
And every bloodline sleeps alone
The child who crossed the battlefield
Placed both old colors in the flame
And watched them burn to nameless smoke
No feud, no crest, no cursed name

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind rose soft
The ravens passed
The old red night
Was gone at last

[Chorus]
The Blood Moon Sets beyond the sea
And leaves the dark inside of me
The Blood Moon Sets, no victory won
Only the grief of what we’ve done
It did not call us into war
It warned what we were bleeding for
Now red fades out, and truth begins
The Blood Moon Sets on all our sins

[Instrumental]
Slow folk strings open wide
Heavy guitars rise like tide
Choirs gather, drums ascend
The saga reaches bitter end

[Bridge]
May no son inherit rage
May no daughter bless the blade
May no elder feed the young
With poison dressed as ancient song
If the moon turns red again
Let hearts remember all this pain
A warning burns before it breaks
A wiser world is one that wakes

[Breakdown]
Lay down the axe
Lay down the chain
Lay down the oath
Lay down the pain
Blood is not glory
Death is not fame
End the old hunger
Speak the true name

[Build-up]
The horizon opened, pale and cold
The first clean sun began to unfold
And though the dead could not return
Their silence taught what fire must learn

[Chorus]
The Blood Moon Sets beyond the sea
And leaves the dark inside of me
The Blood Moon Sets, no victory won
Only the grief of what we’ve done
It did not call us into war
It warned what we were bleeding for
Now red fades out, and truth begins
The Blood Moon Sets on all our sins

[Chorus]
The Blood Moon Sets, remember well
The road from oath to frozen hell
The Blood Moon Sets, the saga ends
Not with kings, but broken friends
It did not bless the killing floor
It warned what we were dying for
Now red fades out, and truth begins
The Blood Moon Sets on all our sins

[Outro]
At the edge of the world
Where the black waves mourn
The blood moon set
And a grey sun was born
