Black Reliquary

idol eyes are blind with stone carved for thrones that stand alone choirs echo void of breath hymns resound in praise of death reliquaries built on lies sanctify what rots inside silent halls where shadows sing crownless bones still call me king black reliquary echo wide faith is gone but prayers collide empty shrines where idols fade relics mock the vows they made voices rise though none remain glory drowned in sacred pain faith has fled the crown is dead incense burns with rancid breath sanctums consecrate to death angels carved with broken wings thrones abandoned by their kings every relic drips with rust holy vows collapse to dust silent halls where shadows sing crownless bones still call me king black reliquary echo wide faith is gone but prayers collide empty shrines where idols fade relics mock the vows they made voices rise though none remain glory drowned in sacred pain faith has fled the crown is dead voices rise in shattered halls prayers collapse the silence calls every relic drips with lies holy ground where memory dies altars bleed in endless flame no one left to bear the name shadows crown the ruins head worship lives but faith is dead black reliquary walls ignite sacred hymns consumed by night relics shatter vows decay faith itself is burned away silence crowns the ruins flame nothing sacred will remain holy lies the empire dies ashes reign silence remains
