The Hero's Grave

The Hero&Grave Epic Ballad, Symphonic Rock, Power Metal (with orchestral elements), Anthem Rock, The song should evoke a sense of awe, tribute, and timeless heroism, The vocals are the primary vehicle for conveying emotion, and the music should serve to elevate and support that emotional journey, It should sound like a story being told, a legacy being honored, and a powerful truth being declared, Sweeping strings, majestic brass (especially French horns and trumpets), and possibly some choral pads to enhance the epic and dramatic feel, A grand piano could add moments of poignant reflection Lyrics (Verse 1) Among the heroes who walked through the night&deepness, Stands one whose banner refused to be lowered. He rose when the world was caught in a stillness, Battling shadows, his spirit empowered. (Chorus) Here lies the one who his own life had given, Who met their measure in struggle so dire. Whose glory shall never be from memory driven, And whose feat&echo shall never expire. (Verse 2) His sword never trembled, his gaze firm with reason, He marched ever onward, where tempests raged bold. Through mad onslaughts, through wrath and through treason, He shattered all lies that the mists had unrolled. (Chorus) Here lies the one who his own life had given, Who met their measure in struggle so dire. Whose glory shall never be from memory driven, And whose feat&echo shall never expire. (Bridge) We hold in remembrance each act, every plea, His example, a promise we hold true.
