[Verse 1] Under the cross of a dying sky, I hear the echoes as angels cry. Names of the fallen carved in stone, I sing for the hearts that died alone. [Chorus] This is my litany for the lost, For every soul love turned to frost. For every prayer the stars forgot, This is my litany for the lost. [Verse 2] The candles burn, their wax runs thin, Each flame a sin, a ghost within. Your shadow walks these halls at night, A fading hymn in holy light. [Chorus] This is my litany for the lost, For every soul love turned to frost. For every prayer the stars forgot, This is my litany for the lost. [Bridge – Soft / Ethereal harmonies] If mercy sleeps, I’ll wake it slow, With whispered names the dead still know. If faith is gone, then I will be, The last believer on my knees. [Final Chorus – Full choir + organ swell] This is my litany for the lost, My heart their altar, cold with cost. Till heaven breaks and shadows cross— I’ll sing this litany for the lost. [Outro – Bells + fading choir] (softly) Amen… amen…
