Lyrics
[Intro — instrumental and choir - Cello solo rises, ethereal choir whispers “uuuh”.
Trumpets call the dawn of false kings]
Verse I — soprano
Beneath the towers made of gold and sin,
They preach the light while shadows crawl within.
Blessed in power, they wear the crown of lies,
Feeding the meek with tears they sanctify.
Pre-Chorus
Voices rise, yet no one hears,
Prayers lost through the veil of fears.
Chorus
Crown of the faithless, burning bright,
You turn the holy into night.
Your words are poison, your touch deceives,
A god you built from broken dreams.
Verse II — with growls in response
(Growls): Kneel to the throne, your chains are divine!
(Soprano): I see the scars you hide behind the shrine.
Their eyes are blind, but their hands still bleed,
From sins disguised as holy deeds.
Bridge — dark orchestral build, growls + choir
The cross you raise is made of bone,
From souls you damned to guard your throne.
(Growls + Choir):
We are the fire, we are the end,
The silence you cannot defend!
Final Chorus — full orchestra, apocalyptic tone
Crown of the faithless, shadows reign,
You built your heaven on our pain.
We’ll light the pyres, let truth ignite,
And burn your kingdom into night.
Outro — cello + ethereal choir “aaah”
The bells will toll…
For the faithless soul.
