[Intro] (organ drone, thunder outside) Bells ring for mercy… But mercy don’t live here no more. [Verse 1] Knight in the doorway, torch in his hand, Armor shines bright, truth in his stance. He says, “Father, I know what you’ve done.” The Bishop smiles, “Then confess, my son.” Sword draws slow, like a breath before rain, Candles shake, choir hums in pain. He steps down calm, robe flows wide, One hand blesses, the other hides. [Pre-Chorus] Faith don’t flinch when it fights to live, He who takes all must learn to forgive. [Chorus] Blood on the altar, holy and red, The prayers stopped when the knight fell dead. Justice cried, but the church stood still, Every sin paid, and I paid the bill. [Verse 2 — Fight Scene Verse] (beat drops hard, strings staccato, hi-hats rattle) Steel meets gold, echo through the nave, Candles crash down, saints can’t save. The knight swings truth, the Bishop swings lies, One cuts deep, the other survives. Choir screaming, thunder above, Violence dressed up like God’s own love. “Repent!” the knight says, blade hits bone, The Bishop whispers, “You’re not alone.” [Bridge — Instrumental Fight Break] (beat builds — strings, choirs, clashing metal samples) The rhythm of death feels holy tonight. [Chorus] Blood on the altar, holy and red, The prayers stopped when the knight fell dead. Justice cried, but the church stood still, Every sin paid — and I paid the bill. [Verse 3 — Aftermath] Smoke in the aisles, silence like sin, He wipes the blade, then whispers again. Cross upside down, candle half gone, Another soul judged before dawn. No heaven now, just crimson glass, The knight’s reflection fading fast. [Outro] (low choir hum, distant bell tolls) Father forgive… or don’t, I’m through. Even God looks away when the holy do.
