Endwayz - Vortex
Spiraling down into the unknown,
A chasm of chaos, a void overthrown.
Twisting winds scream, tearing the sky,
A force of destruction that none can defy.
No light, no sound, just endless spin,
The vortex pulls you from within.
A blackened maw, a ceaseless tide,
There's no escape, nowhere to hide.
Vortex!
Swallow the sun, devour the stars,
Ripping the heavens, leaving scars.
Vortex!
Pulling you near, crushing your will,
A ravenous storm, relentless and still.
Born of the ether, forged in despair,
It thrives in the void, a beast without care.
It hungers for worlds, it craves the unknown,
A swirling abyss, destruction's throne.
No light, no sound, just endless spin,
The vortex pulls you from within.
A blackened maw, a ceaseless tide,
There's no escape, nowhere to hide.
Vortex!
Swallow the sun, devour the stars,
Ripping the heavens, leaving scars.
Vortex!
Pulling you near, crushing your will,
A ravenous storm, relentless and still.
Time distorts in its shadow’s grasp,
Reality bends, the moments collapse.
Its fury eternal, it knows no bounds,
A godless void where silence drowns.
Spinning faster, tearing through,
The storm takes shape, consuming you.
A cosmic predator, infinite might,
The vortex reigns in the endless night.
Vortex!
Swallow the sun, devour the stars,
Ripping the heavens, leaving scars.
Vortex!
Pulling you near, crushing your will,
A ravenous storm, relentless and still.
Vortex…
It calls your name.
Vortex…
None remain
Endwayz - Ascend to Power
Endwayz - Ascend to Power
Born in shadows cast aside
A spark ignites where the lost reside
Through the ashes I will rise
With fury burning in my eyes
Chains of weakness I have torn
From chaos' embrace I'm reborn
In the stillness find my vow
To conquer lands starting now
Ascend to power hear the call
Breaking walls, I'll stand tall
In the silence of the night
I'll take my place and claim my right
Fearless footsteps through the storm
A leader's heart has been formed
No surrender no retreat
Victory's rhythm in my heartbeat
Whispers in the wind they cheer
Strength in numbers never fear
Rise together hand in hand
Forge the legends of this land
Ascend to power hear the call
Breaking walls, I'll stand tall
In the silence of the night
I'll take my place and claim my right
Endwayz - Crimson Divide
Endwayz - Crimson Divide
Beneath the blood-red sky, we stand alone
The world is torn, hearts turned to stone
In the silence of the flame, we feel the cold
A legacy of war that can never be controlled
The rivers flow with sorrow and despair
Broken dreams lie scattered in the air
We crossed the line, no turning back
The crimson divide, it pulls us off track
On this battlefield of hate, we rise
Fading echoes of our lies
Torn between the light and dark
The crimson divide leaves its mark
Crimson divide, we’re caught in the fire
Lost in the ashes, consumed by desire
A war inside, we cannot escape
The blood of the fallen, sealing our fate
Crimson divide, the end is near
Screams in the darkness, drowning in fear
We’ve crossed the line, no place to hide
Forever marked by the crimson divide
The battle rages, we’re trapped in the storm
Fighting shadows, trying to reform
Echoes of the past, they haunt our soul
We thought we were free, but we’ve lost control
Rising from the depths, a voice so cold
It speaks of vengeance, a story untold
A war without reason, no end in sight
The crimson divide swallows the light
On this battlefield of hate, we rise
Fading echoes of our lies
Torn between the light and dark
The crimson divide leaves its mark
Crimson divide, we’re caught in the fire
Lost in the ashes, consumed by desire
A war inside, we cannot escape
The blood of the fallen, sealing our fate
Crimson divide, the end is near
Screams in the darkness, drowning in fear
We’ve crossed the line, no place to hide
Forever marked by the crimson divide
We stand at the edge, where the light fades
A future uncertain, but the price is paid
The blood we shed won’t wash away
The crimson divide, here we stay
Crimson divide, we’re caught in the fire
Lost in the ashes, consumed by desire
A war inside, we cannot escape
The blood of the fallen, sealing our fate
Crimson divide, the end is near
Screams in the darkness, drowning in fear
We’ve crossed the line, no place to hide
Forever marked by the crimson divide
Forever marked by the crimson divide...
We stand alone, forever divided...
Endwayz - The Crumbling Spire
Endwayz - The Crumbling Spire
Amid the ashes, I rise from the fall,
The echoes of battle, they haunt every wall.
Broken and shattered, a kingdom in flames,
The cries of the fallen, a whispering name.
We built it so high, we reached for the skies,
Now it crumbles in silence, the end of our lies.
Stone and steel, we forged our fate,
But now we stand on the edge of hate.
The crumbling spire, where dreams are undone,
The shadows descend as we face the sun.
With blood on our hands, we’ve paid the price,
The crumbling spire, the end of the rise.
Banners are torn, and swords are rusted,
The hopes we once had, all left untrusted.
Lost in the ruins, the gods we defied,
Fallen to dust with no place to hide.
We reached for the stars, but the heavens betrayed,
Now we stand on the edge, where the angels have swayed.
The storm will come, the reckoning’s near,
The end of our empire, drowned in our fear.
The crumbling spire, where dreams are undone,
The shadows descend as we face the sun.
With blood on our hands, we’ve paid the price,
The crumbling spire, the end of the rise.
Screams in the night, the towers fall,
The cries of the broken, the kingdom’s call.
We rise from the ashes, but what’s left to save?
A crown made of thorns, a future enslaved.
The crumbling spire, where dreams are undone,
The shadows descend as we face the sun.
With blood on our hands, we’ve paid the price,
The crumbling spire, the end of the rise.
The crumbling spire, where we fall from grace,
A kingdom in ruins, no one left to face.
We built it so high, now watch it decay,
The crumbling spire, we fade away.
Endwayz - Infernal Reign
Endwayz - Infernal Reign
Smoke and fire rise,
Shadow whispers, demise.
Chains pull me down,
Into the burning ground.
Ashes rise, flames call,
No salvation, I fall.
Infernal reign, crown of flames,
Screaming souls, eternal pain.
Caverns black and deep,
Angels cursed, asleep.
Wrath ignites my breath,
Burning into death.
Ashes rise, flames call,
No salvation, I fall.
Infernal reign, crown of flames,
Screaming souls, eternal pain.
Chaos tears the skies,
Chains of fire bind.
In darkness, I stay,
Forever, flames obey.
Through the veil of smoke and fire,
A shadow calls, a dark desire.
Chains of fate, they pull me down,
To the depths where demons drown.
Whispers claw inside my head,
A symphony of the undead.
Flames ignite my mortal soul,
Burning through, I lose control.
From the ashes, I will rise,
Infernal blaze, I defy the skies.
No salvation, no retreat,
The inferno calls, feel the heat!
Infernal reign, a crown of flames,
A kingdom forged in eternal pain.
Screams of torment, cries of sin,
The infernal calls me from within!
Infernal reign, crown of flames,
Screaming souls, eternal pain.
Infernal light blinds me,
No escape, my destiny.
Endwayz - ABRACADABRA
Endwayz - ABRACADABRA
Feel the ground quake, hear the thunder call,
One by one, kingdoms fall.
No salvation, no escape,
Your world is mine to reshape! ABRACADABRA,
Darkness stirs, the air turns cold,
Whispers of power, stories untold.
Fingers trace the lines of fate,
A spell is cast, no time to wait.
Through fire, through storm, I wield the night,
Ancient words ignite the fight.
The seal is broken, the chains unwind,
A force unleashed, a curse defined.
Abracadabra, rise and reign,
Magic flows like blood through veins.
Summon the storm, unleash the flame,
Abracadabra, scream my name!
Eyes of the serpent, heart of the crow,
A sorcerer’s wrath, the world will know.
Pages burn with a sacred vow,
The hour of reckoning is now.
Through shadows, through fear, I claim my throne,
The mystic chant shakes the stone.
The stars align, the cosmos cracks,
No turning back, no fading black.
Abracadabra, rise and reign,
Magic flows like blood through veins.
Summon the storm, unleash the flame,
Abracadabra, scream my name!
Ashes and dust, my kingdom grows,
From chaos born, destruction sows.
I am the master, the keeper of keys,
Bow to the power that bends the seas!
Feel the ground quake, hear the thunder call,
One by one, kingdoms fall.
No salvation, no escape,
Your world is mine to reshape!
Abracadabra, rise and reign,
Magic flows like blood through veins.
Summon the storm, unleash the flame,
Abracadabra, scream my name!
Speak my words, let the darkness bind,
The spell lives on in eternal rhyme.
Abracadabra, the world obeys,
Under my shadow, forever it stays.
Endwayz - Grim Veil
Endwayz - Grim Veil
Ashes fall, the skies turn gray,
A barren world, hope fades away.
Broken towers pierce the void,
Dreams are shattered, lives destroyed.
Echoes whisper through the sand,
Ghostly voices, a lost command.
The sun burns cold, the winds decay,
This wasteland calls, we’re led astray.
Ruins rise, a dying land,
Chaos rules with iron hand.
No escape, no second chance,
The wasteland grips in endless trance.
Wasteland screams, silence cries,
Dead earth mourns beneath black skies.
No salvation, none withstand,
We’re lost within the wasteland.
Cracked earth groans beneath my feet,
Shadows lurk where life’s defeat.
Once a kingdom, now erased,
By time and war, the past replaced.
Hollow eyes in twisted skulls,
The ghost of rage forever pulls.
A wasteland born of man’s demise,
A tomb beneath the blood-red skies.
Ruins rise, a dying land,
Chaos rules with iron hand.
No escape, no second chance,
The wasteland grips in endless trance.
Wasteland screams, silence cries,
Dead earth mourns beneath black skies.
No salvation, none withstand,
We’re lost within the wasteland.
Burning winds carve lines in stone,
Eternal scars where pain has grown.
In this void, no gods remain,
Only echoes of endless pain.
The vultures circle, the dead decay,
In this wasteland, we’ve lost our way.
A kingdom fallen, consumed by wrath,
A desolate world on a shattered path.
Wasteland screams, silence cries,
Dead earth mourns beneath black skies.
No salvation, none withstand,
We’re lost within the wasteland.
Through the ruins, I walk alone,
A king of ash on a broken throne.
No redemption, no promised land,
Only the dust of the wasteland.
Endwayz - Black Harvest
Endwayz - Black Harvest
Fields of ash, the sky turns red,
A bitter wind, the cries of the dead.
Blades of shadow reap the land,
Justice dies beneath their hand.
Blood-soaked roots, they tear the ground,
A kingdom lost, no savior found.
Rise from ruins, scarred and torn,
A new rebellion will be born.
Black harvest, the end begins,
The reaper’s call, the storm within.
Sow the fire, reap the pain,
The cycle breaks—we rise again!
Cloaked in fear, the masters creep,
Burying secrets, six feet deep.
Chains of iron, forged in hate,
We shatter them to seal their fate.
Through the dark, a scream takes flight,
A million voices pierce the night.
A reckoning, the balance turns,
The flame ignites, the tyrant burns.
Black harvest, the end begins,
The reaper’s call, the storm within.
Sow the fire, reap the pain,
The cycle breaks—we rise again!
Shadows falling, time stands still,
A tide of fury bends their will.
We are the swarm, the chosen few,
Blackened skies, we’ll see this through.
Plow the earth with fire and steel,
Burn the lies, the wounds will heal.
From the ashes, build a new,
This is our vow—we follow through!
Black harvest, the earth will quake,
The seeds of truth in blood we’ll stake.
Sow the fire, reap the pain,
The world will never be the same!
Fields of ash, the past erased,
A crimson dawn, the future faced.
Black harvest ends, the war is won,
We are the darkness—we are the sun.
Endwayz - Ravager
Endwayz - Ravager
Born in the ash of a shattered dawn,
The harbinger of chaos, the soul withdrawn.
A storm in the shadow, a beast in disguise,
The world stands trembling beneath his eyes.
Steel and fire, the earth will quake,
With every step, the skies will break.
A relentless force, a merciless scourge,
From the depths of fury, the tides converge.
Ravager!
He tears through the night,
Bringer of doom, a blinding light.
Ravager!
The reckoning’s near,
The wails of the fallen fill the air with fear.
He wears the crown of a war-torn throne,
Forged in the blood of the worlds he’s known.
No salvation, no final plea,
Only the end, his legacy.
Steel and fire, the earth will quake,
With every step, the skies will break.
A relentless force, a merciless scourge,
From the depths of fury, the tides converge.
Ravager!
He tears through the night,
Bringer of doom, a blinding light.
Ravager!
The reckoning’s near,
The wails of the fallen fill the air with fear.
A thousand voices screaming his name,
In a world consumed by fire and flame.
The rivers run black, the heavens turn red,
He walks a path of the living and dead.
Wrath unleashed, no escape, no peace,
The chains of fate will never cease.
A cursed soul, bound to destroy,
A warrior forged as chaos’s toy.
Ravager!
He tears through the night,
Bringer of doom, a blinding light.
Ravager!
The reckoning’s here,
The cries of the broken are all that he hears.
Ravager…
The end begins.
Ravager…
The darkness wins.
Endwayz - Blood and Dust
Endwayz - Blood and Dust
Rising from the ashes, where the thunder calls,
Tears of the fallen, echo through the walls,
War drums are pounding, the sky turns black,
We march through the chaos, there’s no turning back.
The earth is screaming, the heavens cry,
Under the banner, we live or die.
Blood and dust, in the wind it blows,
We fight in the shadows where the darkness grows,
Blood and dust, the price we pay,
In the fires of battle, we’ll find our way.
Swords in the silence, we stand as one,
Torn by the fight, but the battle's never done,
Beneath the rubble, the cries still burn,
The flames of revenge, we will never turn.
The earth is broken, but we rise again,
Warriors unbroken, through hell and pain.
Blood and dust, in the wind it blows,
We fight in the shadows where the darkness grows,
Blood and dust, the price we pay,
In the fires of battle, we’ll find our way.
A world torn asunder, a kingdom of lies,
We stand in defiance, beneath the crimson skies,
The winds of fury, the blood of the past,
We carry the legacy, forever to last.
Blood for the fallen, dust for the dead,
We’ll rise from the ruins, the war’s not over yet.
Blood and dust, in the wind it blows,
We fight in the shadows where the darkness grows,
Blood and dust, the price we pay,
In the fires of battle, we’ll find our way.
Blood and dust, we carry the flame,
Through the night, through the pain,
Blood and dust, forever we stand,
A legacy written in blood on this land.
Endwayz - The Hollow Crown
Endwayz - The Hollow Crown
Shadows fall upon the throne,
A legacy of flesh and bone.
Bitter whispers claw the air,
A king's burden, his despair.
Wolves surround, the blood runs deep,
Fallen empires scream in sleep.
The weight of lies, the breaking vow,
It all decays beneath the crown.
The hollow crown, forged in fire,
A gilded cage of lost desire.
Betrayed by love, betrayed by kin,
A kingdom crumbles from within.
The hollow crown, it bears the scar,
Of every soul torn by the war.
A fleeting throne, a fleeting reign,
Bound forever to the chain.
Steel and shadow, truth denied,
The battlefield where kings have died.
Echoes pierce the midnight sky,
While nameless warriors rise and die.
From poisoned lips, the verdict fell,
A king who built his house in hell.
The ashes choke, the flames rebound,
And all that's left—a hollow crown.
The hollow crown, forged in fire,
A gilded cage of lost desire.
Betrayed by love, betrayed by kin,
A kingdom crumbles from within.
The hollow crown, it bears the scar,
Of every soul torn by the war.
A fleeting throne, a fleeting reign,
Bound forever to the chain.
What is power? What is pride?
When the soul is cast aside?
What is glory? What is name?
When the end is all the same?
Shadows fall, and silence drowns,
The echoes of the hollow crown.
No victor stands, no empire lasts,
Just dust and ghosts of shattered pasts.
The hollow crown, forged in fire,
A gilded cage of lost desire.
Betrayed by love, betrayed by kin,
A kingdom crumbles from within.
Endwayz - Wasted Horizons
Endwayz - Wasted Horizons
Fading echoes on the edge of the abyss,
Shattered dreams in the dust of the abyss.
Scars of empires carved in stone,
Silent witnesses left alone.
Winds of chaos whisper lies,
Beneath the ash, a phoenix dies.
A bleeding sky, the stars displaced,
The future’s ghost in shadows traced.
Wasted horizons, burned by greed,
A fractured world that forgot its need.
Ruins of power, towers that fell,
This is the story we dare to tell.
Battles fought for hollow thrones,
The cost of kings now overthrown.
Rivers run with crimson shame,
Lost are the ones who bear no name.
Screams of fury pierce the night,
Blinding truth in the darkest light.
A reckoning beneath the haze,
Where justice waits to set ablaze.
Wasted horizons, burned by greed,
A fractured world that forgot its need.
Ruins of power, towers that fell,
This is the story we dare to tell.
Hear the roar, the rising sound,
From the ashes, we’re unbound.
Chains of sorrow break and fall,
Through the darkness, we hear the call.
Wasted horizons, burned by greed,
A fractured world that forgot its need.
Ruins of power, towers that fell,
This is the story we dare to tell.
Beyond the wasted horizons’ flame,
We seek a future, not the same.
A spark ignites, the dawn will rise,
Beneath the ashes, truth survives.
