Obsidian Vow (Symphonic Focus)
Obsidian Vow (Symphonic Focus) epic symphonic black/death metal, soaring orchestral strings and choirs, melodic tremolo-picked guitars, thunderous double-kick drumming, mix of deep growls and ethereal clean harmonies, atmospheric synths, haunting and dramatic, emphasis on sweeping epic arrangements, 170 bpm, C minor Lyrics Verse 1 At the altar of volcanic stone I stand before you now Blood-sworn oaths carved deep in obsidian somehow The molten earth beneath us bears witness to my words As ancient flames consume the flesh of sacrificial herds This sacred ground of blackened glass reflects our binding rite Where lava flows like crimson tears through endless starless night I pledge my soul to darkness here beneath these ashen skies The mountain's heart beats with my own as mortal weakness dies Pre-chorus Oh, can you hear the mountain's call? La la la, through fire we fall Chorus I swear this obsidian vow to you Through molten stone and sulfur rain My heart burns black, my spirit true In volcanic halls we'll forever reign (Forever reign!) Post-chorus Oh oh oh, the earth bleeds fire La la la, our souls aspire Verse 2 - Subverted Structure Spoken/whispered But now... the mountain trembles... Building intensity You turn away from promises we carved in living stone! The crater splits and magma spills - I face the void alone! Screaming BETRAYER OF THE SACRED VOW! Growled The obsidian cracks and crumbles now! Pre-chorus Oh, can you feel the mountain's rage? La la la, we've turned the page Chorus I break this obsidian vow to you Through crumbling stone and burning pain My heart turns cold, my spirit flew From volcanic tombs I break these chains (Break these chains!) Bridge Orchestral break with clean vocals In the silence of the cooling ash Where our promises lay shattered, broken, dead I walk alone through fields of glass The mountain weeps for what we've lost instead Oh... the obsidian remembers all La la la... hear the mountain's call Oh... through fire we rise and fall La la la... beyond the ancient wall Final Chorus I forge a new obsidian vow From fragments of our ruined dream My heart rebuilt from lava now In solitude my spirit screams (My spirit screams!) Outro Fading orchestral arrangement The mountain sleeps... but I remain La la la... beyond the pain The obsidian holds my name La la la... forever changed
