Elissabetha - WHAT REMAINS STANDS (Symphonic Epic Metal)

Описание: Lyrics:

Verse 1

The hall is empty, time stands still
No breath remains to plead
What violence claimed, the silence keeps
And writes the final deed

No crown awaits, no cheer returns
No name demands a throne
The dust remembers every step
That led us here alone

Verse 2

I did not come to rule the dead
Or praise the fallen ground
I came to end the borrowed noise
And let truth be the sound

What waits survives, what lies decays
What stands has learned the cost
The world does not reward the loud
It honors what was lost

Chorus

What remains stands when the storm has burned itself away
When the screams are gone and silence learns what truth can say
Ahhh — let the years fall quiet, let the dust decide the throne
μένει τὸ ἀληθές, only truth endures alone
What remains stands — unmoved by what has flown

Verse 3

No witness sings of glory won
No song redeems the night
But something older than the sword
Still holds the weight of right

I walk away without a crown
Without a name to claim
The hall can keep its broken past
I leave it with its shame

Verse 4

If power lives beyond the blade
It breathes in what survives
Not in the hands that took too much
But those that kept their lives

This is not mercy, not defeat
Not triumph carved in stone
It is the shape of what remains
When all the noise is gone

Chorus

What remains stands when the storm has burned itself away
When the screams are gone and silence learns what truth can say
Ohhh — let the years fall quiet, let the dust decide the throne
μένει τὸ ἀληθές, only truth endures alone
What remains stands — unmoved by what has flown

Bridge

μένει τὸ ἀληθές
οὐ χρόνος οὐδὲ θάνατος

(What is true remains — neither time nor death prevails)

Chorus

What remains stands when the storm has burned itself away
When the screams are gone and silence learns what truth can say
Ahhh — let the years fall quiet, let the dust decide the throne
μένει τὸ ἀληθές, only truth endures alone
What remains stands — unmoved by what has flown

Final Chorus

What remains stands beyond the blade, beyond the need to rule
Beyond the lies that fed the fire, beyond the brutal tool
Ohhh — hear the world grow quiet, hear the ending carved in stone
μένει τὸ ἀληθές, no lie survives what’s known
What remains stands — and stands alone
