Lyrics
INTRO (Ceremonial Opening – 8 bars)
Slow drum march. Single tremolo note
[Choir (operatic, rising)]:
Agnus vocatur.
Caro datur.
Sanguis fluit.
Guitars slam in with galloping riff
VERSE I
Candles tremble.
Blades align.
Silver chalice.
Sacred spine.
Marble echoes
with restrained breath.
Invitation
dressed as death.
You asked for grace —
we brought flesh.
You asked for light —
we brought the rest.
PRE-HOOK (Theatrical build)
Lift the veil.
Raise the knife.
Bless the hunger.
Bless the life.
Snare build + choir swell
HOOK (Blast-beat + operatic choir)
WE ARE
THE MEAT
OF YOUR GOD
WE BLEED
ON MARBLE
AND NOD
[Choir (harmonic stack)]:
CARO — CARO — DEI
WE ARE
THE FEAST
YOU SOD
Blast intensifies final two bars
VERSE II (Heavier tremolo under gallop)
Every martyr
smiles in flame.
Every wound
whispers a name.
No revolt.
No regret.
Only debt
that must be met.
Teeth of heaven
bite the meek.
Paradise
devours the weak.
BRIDGE (Operatic dominance – half-time)
Half-time stomp. Organ-like guitar chords
[Voice (slow, sovereign)]:
Kneel at the table.
[Choir (harmonic)]:
Kneel.
[Voice]:
Taste your reward.
[Choir (louder)]:
Taste.
[Voice (layered growl)]:
The altar feeds
what it adored.
BREAKDOWN (Massive low syncopation)
Low open string strikes + artillery kick
Chew.
Swallow.
Pray.
Hollow.
FINAL HOOK (Maximum theatrical intensity)
WE ARE
THE MEAT
OF YOUR GOD
WE ARE
THE BLOOD
ON HIS ROD
[Choir (full cathedral vibrato)]:
CARO — SANGUIS — DEI
WE ARE
THE FEAST
OF YOUR GOD
Final chord held with choir vibrato sustain
OUTRO
Choir alone, fading into silence
[Choir (soft, operatic)]:
Sanguis pacem non dat.
Single dissonant chord. Curtain falls
