[Intro]

[Verse]
Shadows crawl across the hall
Flickering torchlight starts to fall
Hushed words spoken, sharp and low
Seeds of doubt begin to grow
Eyes that meet, then turn away
What dark purpose do they play?
Beneath the mead, a bitter taste
Brotherhood begins to waste

[Chorus]
Poison in the air we breathe
Chains of trust begin to cleave
Who stands with us, who stands apart?
Winter chills within the heart!
Trust is lost, a fragile shield
On this blood-soaked battlefield!

[Verse]
A stolen glance, a tightened fist
A loyalty that can't exist
Resentment festers, deep and cold
A story waiting to unfold
The fire crackles, embers gleam
Reflecting a disturbing dream
Each loyal oath, a whispered lie
As ancient hatreds start to fly

[Chorus]
Poison in the air we breathe
Chains of trust begin to cleave
Who stands with us, who stands apart?
Winter chills within the heart!
Trust is lost, a fragile shield
On this blood-soaked battlefield!

[Bridge]
The horns are raised, but not in cheer
Just hollow sounds that feed the fear
A silent pact, a hidden blade
In this dark masquerade
The feast is long, the night is deep
While watchful eyes their secrets keep

[Verse]
I see the hunger in their stare
A hunger I can barely bear
They speak of glory, speak of might
But hide the darkness from the light
Is this the end of all we've known?
Upon this desolate, cold throne?
A brotherhood now ripped and torn
By whispers of a coming storm

[Chorus]
Poison in the air we breathe
Chains of trust begin to cleave
Who stands with us, who stands apart?
Winter chills within the heart!
Trust is lost, a fragile shield
On this blood-soaked battlefield!

[Outro]
