Lyrics
Verse 1
The Carpathian winds sang triumph through blood-crusted mail,
Home to your arms... found only the pale.
The priests' hollow words like daggers took flight,
"Her soul is forsaken — denied Heaven's light!"
Oh, Elisabeta... my crimson dawn's grace,
Your lifeblood now stains this unholy place.
This victory sours to ashes and gall,
My faith in the cross… the first vow to fall.
Pre Chorus
Glass cathedral breaking!
Stone saints are bleeding black!
This borrowed skin is shaking –
I take the darkness back!
Chorus
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
The blood is the life…
And it shall be mine!
Verse 2
I kissed your cold throat where life used to sing,
Felt summer meadows die... with the sting.
My chalice upturned – blood-tears on the stone,
Shattered the altar, claimed darkness my throne!
"If God denies mercy... then he shall weep!
For vengeance eternal... I drink damnation deep!"
Pre Chorus
Glass cathedral breaking!
Stone saints are bleeding black!
This borrowed skin is shaking –
I take the darkness back!
Chorus
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise!
