**Intro (Spoken, with echoing reverb)** "In the ashes of the world, he walks in silence... a priest without salvation, a shepherd of fire..." --- **Verse 1** Black sky bleeding, cities torn in flame, Silent bells toll, no one left to pray. A cross of neon burns against the night, The Priest is rising, cloaked in blood-red light. --- **Pre-Chorus** Chains of faith turned into steel, Every scar he makes is real. No absolution, no retreat, The end begins beneath his feet. --- **Chorus** The Priest walks alone, through the ashes and stone, With a cross made of fire, and a heart carved in bone. In the shadow of ruin, he delivers the creed, Kneel or be broken— The Priest makes you bleed. --- **Verse 2** Eyes like embers, glowing through the smoke, Every word he speaks, a holy curse invoked. Gun of judgment, sword of burning red, He feeds on silence, he’s the voice of the dead. --- **Pre-Chorus** Sanctified in endless war, He opens up the final door. No salvation left to find, He is the end of humankind. --- **Chorus** The Priest walks alone, through the ashes and stone, With a cross made of fire, and a heart carved in bone. In the shadow of ruin, he delivers the creed, Kneel or be broken— The Priest makes you bleed. --- **Bridge (whispered, then screamed)** "Bow down... Confess... The last mass is said in blood... AND ALL LIGHT IS DARKNESS." --- **Breakdown: (Heavy Instrumental Grinding guitars, echoing cathedral organ Drum thunder like war marching Choir chants in the background)** "Sanctus… Sanctus… Perditionem…" --- **Final Chorus (Extended)** The Priest walks alone, through the ashes and stone, With a cross made of fire, and a heart carved in bone. In the ruin of faith, he’s the last to believe, In the church of destruction— The Priest will not leave. --- **Outro (Fading Whisper)** "The last prayer has been spoken... And the world lies broken... Amen."
