Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
[Low drone rises from silence — ancient, deep like the inside of a cathedral.
A single Gregorian chant echoes faintly, processed through glowing reverb, layered in Latin:]
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te, benedicimus te,
adoramus te, glorificamus te.
[A slow, synthetic heartbeat begins — 100 BPM — airy ambient pads swelling.
Glitched choirs flicker like spirits in the static.
Filtered hi-hats hiss like incense in the air.]
Verse 1 – Spoken, robotic tone
Light breaks the code of the past.
Faith dissolves in frequency.
The sky is silent.
The beat remains.
Instrumental Build
A high-pitched synth enters, mimicking stained-glass arpeggios.
Pulsing kick drums emerge under the chant — steady, reverent.
Low-end bass swells beneath like subterranean thunder.
[A vocoder voice layers softly:]“Gloria… Gloria…”
Chant Loop – Latin Fragment
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus te. Glorificamus te.
Verse 2 – Whispered, human tone
We do not kneel.
We move.
Cathedrals fall, but rhythm stands.
The divine is now digital.
Instrumental Break
[Full techno beat kicks in —
filtered hats, analog synth waves,
a modulated Gregorian choir drifting over it all.]
Laser-like melodies rise in sweeping arcs — cold, cosmic, transcendent.
Bridge – Chant meets Machine
Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu,
in gloria Dei Patris… Amen.
Spoken beneath:
Amen…
In echo…
In binary…
Amen.
Final Chorus – Instrumental Only
The fusion reaches its peak:
chant syllables] (“Glo—ri—a”) [chopped and looped into polyrhythms,]
[synth pads swell like digital choirs,
the beat glitches, breaks, and reforms.
It climbs… collapses… and reforms again.]
Outro
The chant echoes once more:
“Gloria in excelsis Deo…”
[One final sustained synth note glows like stained light through smoke,
then vanishes into silence.]
