[Intro – thunderous drums, rapid guitar riff]
Steel rings out in the cold night air
Blood and iron beyond compare
[Verse 1 – chugging rhythm, low growl vocals]
Shadows creep across the frozen land
Gripping tight the hilt within my hand
Enemies approach with silent feet
Meeting doom upon the cobblestone street
No mercy shown to those who stand
Against the ruler of this barren land
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, snare roll build]
Hear the scream of tearing flesh
Trapped within my brutal mesh
One swing left and one swing right
Ending every futile fight
[Chorus – explosive power chords, anthemic shout]
Chop chop chop until they drop
Never stopping till the end
Chop chop chop make them pop
Breaking bones I do not bend
King of chaos king of pain
Ruling through the driving rain
[Verse 2 – fast palm muting, aggressive delivery]
Armor shatters under heavy blow
Watching all the vital energies flow
Red mist rises from the battlefield
Force of will is all I ever wield
Countless bodies pile at my feet
Victory tastes so bitter sweet
[Pre-Chorus – escalating intensity, high pitch scream]
Feel the weight of falling steel
Crushing all that is unreal
Spin around and strike again
Punishing the sinful men
[Chorus – maximum volume, layered harmonies]
Chop chop chop until they drop
Never stopping till the end
Chop chop chop make them pop
Breaking bones I do not bend
King of chaos king of pain
Ruling through the driving rain
[Bridge – slow heavy breakdown, ominous bass]
Silence falls upon the plain
Only echoes of the pain
Standing tall amidst the dead
Crown of gold upon my head
[Solo – shredding guitar solo, high speed arpeggios]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Final Chorus – epic orchestral backing, double kick drum]
Chop chop chop until they drop
Never stopping till the end
Chop chop chop make them pop
Breaking bones I do not bend
King of chaos king of pain
Ruling through the driving rain
[Outro – fading feedback, single drum hit]
The battle ends the king remains
Bound by blood and iron chains
