IV. Devourer of Suns

V6

[Invocation – Full Choir] [Latin, grave, processional] Ignis stellarum cadit Sol occidit in fauces vacui Lux superflua consumitur Ordo servatur [Verse I – Baritone Solo] [Authoritative, ceremonial] I walk the corridors of burning spheres Where dying suns confess their age Their crowns collapse to nuclear prayer Ash becomes the cosmic page I do not hunt—I am awaited By fire too proud to fade Excess kneels before correction And begs to be unmade [Chorus I – Full Choir + Soloists] [Majestic, martial] Devourer of suns Consumer of flame I drink the surplus of heaven So balance remains Devourer of suns Breaker of thrones I end what cannot endure And leave silence alone [Verse II – Soprano Solo] [Lamenting, celestial] I hear the children of the stars Cry out from shattered skies Their light dissolves in your embrace Yet something still survives Is mercy hidden in your jaws Or only endless night? Does salvation wear the mask Of an unending bite? [Interlude – Choir] [Antiphonal Latin] Lux nascitur Lux perit Fames manet Lex manet [Verse III – Bass Solo] [Dark, proclamatory] Gods ignite like funeral pyres Fed by worship’s stolen heat They named themselves eternal But eternity must eat Their temples blaze in vacuum winds Their prayers collapse to soundless screams I swallow myths and leave behind The scaffolding of dreams [Chorus II – Expanded] [Choir Dominant] Devourer of suns Scourge of excess light I am not wrath, I am not sin I am the closing of night Devourer of suns Instrument of law Where fire forgets its measure I become the final law [Bridge – Ritual Chant] [Low Choir, rhythmic] Non daemon Non deus Sed necessitas Non odium Non voluntas Sed aequilibrium [Final Chorus – Apotheosis] [Full Orchestra + Choir] Devourer of suns Bearer of weight I carry creation’s burden At the edge of its fate Devourer of suns Until nothing remains I consume so existence Does not die of its gain Coda – Choir (Slow, fading, ominous) Sol post sol cadit Fames procedit Donec silentium regnat
