[Verse 1 - Clean vocals, atmospheric] I built cathedrals in my skull Stained glass reflections of my fall Praying to the architect of nothing While these walls cave in, I’m left with dust and calling Kneel before the altar of my making Every hymn a lie I’m suffocating The silence screams louder than your name I carved you from my pain [Pre-Chorus - Building intensity] Mirror, mirror made of bone Show me gods I’ve overthrown Am I the martyr or the beast? The congregation or the priest? [Chorus - Soaring clean vocals with orchestral swell] I am the war inside the temple Fighting phantoms, fighting shadows Crucified by hands that don’t exist I am the prayer, I am the absence Drowning in my own creation God of nothing, sovereign of the abyss [Verse 2 - Harsh vocals, heavy riffs] Demons wear my face in this cathedral Self-inflicted wounds that never heal, no I benedicted blades that cut me open Every scar’s a scripture left unspoken You never answered because you were never there Just echoes of my screaming bouncing back through dead air I am both the poison and the cure The question and the answer I can’t endure [Bridge - Orchestral breakdown with whispered vocals] (Whispered) In the quiet between heartbeats I hear nothing And nothing hears me Am I talking to the void Or am I the void talking to myself? [Drum Solo Section - Instrumental] (Massive double bass patterns with orchestral percussion) [Final Chorus - Full power, layered vocals] I am the war inside the temple Fighting phantoms, fighting shadows Crucified by hands that don’t exist I am the prayer, I am the absence Drowning in my own creation God of nothing, sovereign of the abyss [Outro - Haunting, fading] So I’ll tear down these walls I worship Dethrone the throne of my own making If there’s no salvation in surrender Then I’ll find peace in the breaking In the breaking… (In the breaking…)
