Beyond the Mortal Flame

[Intro]
Ash in the air
Moon like a blade
Candles all bend
Calling my name
[Verse 1]
Cold chapel stones
Glow under boots
Latin on lips
Fire in the roots
Breath turning thin
Cross starts to shake
Iron in hand
Heart wide awake
[Chorus]
Beyond the mortal flame
Where the shadows learn my name
I ride the storm of spirits unafraid
Through thunder
Blood
And sky
I refuse to kneel or die
I rise with worlds unseen at my side
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the dark
Old as the war
Stories I read
Step through the door
Graves crack and sing
Dust starts to dance
Time splits in two
Locked in a trance
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Circle of salt
Shatters like glass
Chains on my soul
Snap in half at last
Winged silhouettes
Crowd out the stars
I tear the veil
With these living scars [crescendo]
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]

metal, Epic European power metal, double-time drums, galloping bass, twin-lead guitars trading harmonized runs. Verses tight and driving; chorus explodes with stacked gang vocals and soaring male lead. Orchestral pads and choirs swelling under the bridge, then a shreddy guitar solo launches into a final triumphant chorus., power metal
