Apollyon – Rock Dark

Verse 1

I came back on thunder, stepped out of the smoke,
A crown of shattered iron, ash beneath my cloak.
You built your petty kingdoms on lies that rot and rust,
Now I carve the verdict — watch your empires turn to dust.

Pre-Chorus

Hear the streets remember the name you tried to drown—
Silence breaks like glass when the darkness comes around.

Chorus

I claim the throne of ashes, light the sky on fire,
I am the last command, the ruin and the ire.
Bow or burn, your fate’s a spark inside my hands—
When I return, you’ll learn how empires turn to sand.

Verse 2

I walked through ruined altars where your prophets lost their gold,
I read the code of treason in the footprints left in cold.
You prayed for saviors — begged the heavens for reprieve,
But saviors tilting swords are what you’ll never see.

Pre-Chorus

The bells that used to comfort now call out your name,
I’m the reckoning that answered every hidden shame.

Chorus

I claim the throne of ashes, light the sky on fire,
I am the last command, the ruin and the ire.
Bow or burn, your fate’s a spark inside my hands—
When I return, you’ll learn how empires turn to sand.

Bridge (spoken, building into scream)

Remember the bargains you carved in shallow nights —
I kept them all. I sharpened their teeth.
Now every whispered promise becomes a blade.
Stand tall or kneel — choose your side.

(explode into heavy riff)

Breakdown (scream)

Ashes rise! Ashes rise!
Hear the kingdom break and twist before your eyes!

Final Chorus (bigger, with backing distorted choir)

I claim the throne of ashes, crown me in the pyre,
I am the shown command — the end, the wire.
Kneel or crack, your kingdom’s dust will fill my hands—
I’ve come back for the crown — to crush the final lands.

Outro (slow, menacing)

The smoke will keep my secret and the ruins keep my name —
I am what returns when you forget the flame
