🎧 Title: Cloister of Shadows

🎹 [Verse 1 – ambient piano + deep vocal]

He walked in silence, heart held high,

Cloaked in prayers beneath the sky.

Walls of stone, a sacred vow,

But shadows whispered, even now...

🕯️ [Verse 2 – dark strings + rising guitar]

He dreamed of fire, of screams below,

Of wings of ash and blood on snow.

The holy words began to fade —

And faith became the mask he made.

🌑 [Chorus – choir + orchestral swell]

🎶

In the cloister of shadows,

Where angels fear to tread,

He called the name of mercy —

But silence answered instead.

🎶

🩸 [Verse 3 – synth + low drums]

He saw a face within the flame,

It spoke no lies, it spoke his name.

The scripture tore, the altar bled,

The monk was living, but near dead.

⚔️ [Final Chorus – full force + dramatic choir]

🎶

In the cloister of shadows,

He stood where light had fled.

Once servant of the heavens —

Now brother to the dead.

🎶

🕯️ [Outro – whisper + ambient organ]

“Forgive me, Father… for I became what I feared…”
