[Prologue – The Shadow] Born in frailty, close to death, He carved his soul in sorrow’s breath. The Nocturnes wept, the night confessed, In keys of grief, the heart found rest. Tenebrae aeternum… Noctis memoria… [Verse 1 – The Nocturna Forged] Each note a wound, each chord a sigh, A requiem beneath the sky. The Nocturna sang with aching hands, A blade of grief none could withstand. Etudes of steel, precision deep, A cry of sorrow none could keep. Through mournful law the keys obey, And grief became the only way. [Build → Drop 1] The keys descend… The silence breaks… Tears in rhythm… The earth will shake! [Chorus – The Funeral Dance] One by one, the souls he frees, Peace through sorrow, death through keys. Eternal waltz where darkness is, Aeterna Funebris. [Verse 2 – The Raindrop Eternal] The Raindrops fell, unending rain, A toll of loss, a hymn of pain. The Preludes whispered, sharp and brief, Fragments burning into grief. The Polonaise, a solemn cry, Pride that echoes though we die. Through sorrow’s crown the silence yields, The dance of death commands the fields. Miserere nobis… Miserere nobis… [Bridge – The Veil Opens] The night grew still, the candles dim, A thousand souls drawn close to him. No wrath, no flame, no victor’s breath, But mourning crowned, the law of death. [Build → Drop 2] Candles fade… The scythe resounds… The veil is torn… The dance surrounds! [Chorus – Ascension] One by one, the souls he frees, Peace through sorrow, death through keys. Eternal waltz where darkness is, Aeterna Funebris. [Outro – Godhood] From life to death, from night to dawn, The circle closed, the man was gone. No mortal hand, no fleeting breath… Aeterna Funebris. [instrumental]
