Believe it or not, but this is one of those songs that was written very quickly! Since it's about Hades 2, where the main antagonist is Chronos, the titan of time, I wanted to play around with different time signatures and a variable bpm. Shifting time signatures is something I have rarely done, can you spot all four different ones? ;)

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Steel will cut and fire burn
Back to shadows I return
I embrace the pain that forces me to learn
At a crossroad, inbetween
Cause a ruckus, make a scene
Make it through the night by grace of kings and queens
Below the sea
Gods hear my plea
So mote it be!
Chorus:
I sunder hell and pierce the sky
A twist of fate, the time is nigh
One single death won’t satisfy
When immortals…
When immortals… die!
Verse 2:
Chains will break and blood will flow
Every debt the Fates will know
I resist the pull that drags me far below
Slay the siren, set the stage
Free my family from the cage
I ignite the night with unforgiving rage
Below the sea
Gods hear my plea
So mote it be!
Chorus:
I sunder hell and pierce the sky
A twist of fate, the time is nigh
One single death won’t satisfy
When immortals…
When immortals… die!
