[Intro] Peccatum… Scriptum Est… [Verse 1] Gold does not tremble yet something shifts beneath the gaze A line where none had been a shadow carved inside the face No hand has touched the canvas no brush has crossed the skin Yet something waits within the oil something cold… and listening [Pre-Chorus] It was not there before I know what I have seen Not light, not flaw but something in between [Chorus] This is the first scar written where no hand has reached This is the first scar a silence carved in each This is the first scar the truth begins to show The first scar awakens what the surface cannot hold [Verse 2] No horror fills the heart no terror takes the breath Only a quiet fascination standing close to death If sin can leave a mark and flesh remains untouched Then time itself is nothing and nothing costs too much [Pre-Chorus] Let it remain unseen let it become the truth If the image bears the weight then I preserve my youth [Chorus] This is the first scar etched beyond the line of sight This is the first scar revealed within the night This is the first scar the surface starts to lie The first scar is rising and I cannot deny [Bridge] Peccatum… Scriptum est Peccatum Scriptum est [Instrumental Bridge] [Final Chorus] This is the first scar now it breathes beneath the skin This is the first scar where the silence has been This is the first scar the image takes its form The first scar is a doorway to something far more stormed [Outro] Peccatum Scriptum Est… Peccatum Scriptum Est…
