Seven - Judgment, dies irae

[© 2026 Daniel Claessens] [Intro | low cinematic drone, distant rumbling thunder, very slow 68 BPM, E minor] The clock has stopped… Your time is done… [Verse 1 | intimate, heavy male baritone, sparse piano + deep strings] You laughed, you burned, you took your fill You chose the pleasure, you chose the thrill Every lust, every pride, every silent greed Every rage you fed, every good you didn’t need [Pre-Chorus 1] No devil dragged you, no hand forced the blade You walked this path with the choices you made [Chorus 1] Judgment is coming, the books lie open wide Every sin you loved will now demand its price Lust and Pride, Greed and Wrath, Envy’s bite Gluttony’s hunger, Sloth’s endless night And all the good you chose to leave behind You had your fun… now face what you designed [Verse 2] The nights you wasted, the help you denied The love you withheld, the truth you never tried You turned away when the moment called your name Now silence answers, and you bear the blame [Pre-Chorus 2] No excuses left, no place left to run The mirror is cracking… the judgment has come [Final Chorus | full cinematic weight, slow but massive build] Judgment is coming, no mercy in sight You chose the darkness, you chose the night Every pleasure, every comfort, every lie Brought you here… beneath this sky You had your fun in this short little life Now you inherit your eternal strife [Outro | vast emptiness, only low strings + distant breath, very slow fade] Iudicium… ex te ipso venit… Tu ipse id elegisti… Tu ipse id elegisti… [final barely audible whisper] You chose it…
