Codex Hymn - The Golden Axe (Original | Official Video)

Описание: Raised by the wild. Feared by the demons. 🐻🪓

"THE GOLDEN AXE" is a ferocious Japanese Folk Metal anthem that brings the legend of Sakata no Kintoki (Kintaro) crashing into the modern era. This is not just a song; it is a seismic event—a tribute to the "Child of the Mountain" who grew into a warrior capable of splitting the earth itself.

Driven by the thunderous heartbeat of Taiko drums and the aggressive shredding of the Shamisen, the track captures the raw, untamed energy of Mount Ashigara. From the mystical flute intro to the heavy impact of the Masakari (Battle Axe) against the skulls of Oni, every note resonates with the spirit of the Golden Warrior. If you crave music that fuses the elegance of the East with the crushing power of heavy metal, this is your battle cry.

A Personal Note: Kintoki is often depicted as a cute child in folklore, but to me, he represents the absolute purity of strength. He is nature’s wrath and nature’s protection rolled into one. This song imagines him in his prime—a force of nature standing between the innocent and the darkness. Sometimes, raw strength is the only language evil understands.

👇 Discussion: In the legends, Kintoki could speak to animals and wrestle bears. If you could have one mythical ability from Japanese folklore, what would it be? Let me know in the comments!

📜 LYRICS: THE GOLDEN AXE

Born on the peak where the clouds are torn
A child of the storm, in the thunder born
No cradle of silk, just the moss and stone
Raised by the witch in the woods alone
Skin red as fire, and strength in the bone
Crushing the rocks on the mountain throne
He drinks from the river, he sleeps in the cave
The master of beasts and the king of the brave

Can you hear the forest calling his name?
A spirit of wild that no one can tame

Raise the golden axe to the rising sun
The legend of might has only begun
Son of the mountain, warrior of steel
Make the shadows bow and the demons kneel
Thunder in his hand! Lightning in his eye
The golden warrior will never die

He walked from the wild to the city of gold
To fight for the glory the legends foretold
The ogres are hiding deep in the night
But they fear the flash of the axe's light
One swing to the left! One swing to the right
Splitting the earth with a godlike might

From the child of the woods
To the slayer of kings
He carries the power that the mountain brings
Heavy is the steel, pure is the heart
Tear the evil world apart

Raise the golden axe to the rising sun
The legend of might has only begun
Son of the mountain, warrior of steel
Make the shadows bow and the demons kneel
Thunder in his hand! Lightning in his eye
The golden warrior will never die
The golden axe will never die
