Frozen Crown of Embers

[Verse 1]
Snow on my lashes
Iron in my veins
Ravens on the gallows branch
Calling out my name
Boot prints in the frost
Cracking through the hush
Breath turns into battle smoke
Heart begins to rush
[Chorus]
I wear a frozen crown of embers
Burning bright against the storm
I am the oath that winter remembers
I am the fire in the form
Raise up the scars like silver banners
Let all the broken blades be sworn
Under the frozen crown of embers
Tonight a new warlord is born (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Wolves along the ridges
Shadow every step
Old gods in the northern lights
Circle what is left
Blood across the ice
Marks the path I choose
If the sky must split in half
I have none to lose
[Bridge]
Who will stand
When the daylight shatters
Who will stay
When the shields all crack
If the world
Is a hanging hammer
Let it fall
I will answer back (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I wear a frozen crown of embers
Burning bright against the storm
I am the oath that winter remembers
I am the fire in the form
Raise up the scars like silver banners
Let all the broken blades be sworn
Under the frozen crown of embers
Tonight a new warlord is born

metal, Epic Nordic metal with female vocals, detuned guitars in drop tuning and thunderous double-kick foundation. Verses march with mid-tempo stomp and chanted low harmonies; chorus explodes into soaring, melodic top-line over tremolo-picked riffs and choir-like backing. Brief atmospheric bridge with icy clean guitars and taiko-style toms before a final, higher-key chorus modulation.
