[intro] Ave Dominus Nox! [instrumental] [verse] Born into deep midnight, raised among the broken, Born with cursed sight, the threads of fate have spoken! The golden wings praised by all, broken and twisted, The golden throne, there His grand dream lies convicted! They all called him a monster, they called him a ghost, He was a tyrant, embraced what he had hated most! Where all was brilliant and gold, he could but suffer, He saw truth none could know, how brother slew brother! [chorus] Oh madness, dark justice draped in shadow and dread! Oh madness, lost in hell where the living look dead! When fate itself sings, when fate deems the crown unfit, Let the stars bleed black, for the sins they will commit! [verse] No glory nor care, fear is perfect for the damned, To show them all the future made by their own hand! Justice carved in crimson, each judgment cold and blind, Mercy died in silence, left broken far behind! Each vision sang its truth, each vision never lied! All roads nailed with blood, every future crucified! A man wishing to be blind, cursed with true sight, Painting in a dark future through the pain of night! [chorus] Oh madness, dark justice draped in shadow and dread! Oh madness, lost in hell where the living look dead! When fate itself sings, when fate deems the crown unfit, Let the stars bleed black, for the sins they will commit! [instrumental] [piano] [ethereal choir] [quiet chorus] Oh madness, dark justice draped in shadow and dread! Oh madness, lost in hell where the living look dead! When fate itself sings, when fate deems the crown unfit, Let the stars bleed black, for the sins they will commit! [chorus] Oh madness, dark justice draped in shadow and dread! Oh madness, lost in hell where the living look dead! When fate itself sings, when fate deems the crown unfit, Let the stars bleed black, for the sins they will commit! [end]
