[Intro – Distant wind, low bass pulse] No dawn came. No warmth followed. Only shadow. [Verse 1 – Controlled, tense] Morning broke but nothing shone, Sky stayed bruised, a hollow tone, Ten of us in armor cold, Standing where the sun once glowed. Steel still sharp but hands felt slow, Breath came thin in the ashen snow, Valen laughed but it sounded low, Like even thunder lost its throat. Lucien watching the skyline bend, Said, “This is where all empires end,” Darius swore we would defend — But his shield felt heavier then. Mira lit a chapel flame, Black smoke curled instead of blaze, Elric whispered holy names — Heaven never answered. [Chorus 1] Ten under no light standing, Blades up high but hearts demanding, If the sun won’t rise — we command it, We’ll burn our own sky. But the dark keeps expanding, Faith in the throne collapsing, When the world stops answering — Who are we without light? [Verse 2 – Darker] Prophet’s corpse in the courtyard stone, Eyes still wide like he had known, “Black sun rises — flesh to bone,” Now the warning feels like throne. King called council in fear and hush, Spoke of sacrifice in dust, “Cut the weak before they rust.” That word split trust. Nyx stepped back from royal lies, Garron’s grip grew tight with pride, Seris stared at the empty sky — And something flickered in her eyes. Kael felt heat beneath his skin, Not bright red — but deeper within, Not a flame to carry him — But one that fed on sin. [Chorus 2] Ten under no light fading, Oaths once iron now degrading, Shadows lengthen, suffocating, Pulling at our names. If the crown starts calculating, If fear begins dictating, The line we’re sworn to guarding — Might be the one in chains. [Breakdown – Heavy, oppressive scream section] [Guitars drop low] NO SUN. NO SAVIOR. WE STAND IN A SKY THAT WON’T REMEMBER US. NO GODS. NO GLORY. JUST STEEL IN THE DARK AND A THRONE THAT FEARS US. [Scream] LET IT RISE. [Chorus 3 – Dark, foreboding] Ten under no light breaking, Armor strong but spirits shaking, When the sky forgets its making — Heroes start to crack. We were fire once unending, Now the void is slowly bending, If this is how it’s ending — There’s no turning back.

TEN UNDER NO LIGHT
