[Verse 1] I was baptized in a chalice of gold, Where heaven’s whispers were bought and sold. Preachers in velvet lit the flame, Then signed their silence beside my name. [Pre-Chorus] Holy is the ledger, Sacred is the chain. Kiss the ring and choke on hunger, Praise the shepherd, curse the slain. [Chorus] I wear my sin like a saint wears white, I dance on tombs in electric night. I bowed to gods with a velvet knife — Sanctified, by sin not light. [Verse 2] The choir sang in stolen tongues, They bent the truth till the lies looked young. They lit the stake, they carved the creed, Called it salvation while we still bleed. [Pre-Chorus] Canonized the silence, Buried all the proof. Painted halos over tyrants, Hung our questions from the roof. [Chorus] I wear my sin like a saint wears white, I dance on tombs in electric night. I bowed to gods with a velvet knife — Sanctified, by sin not light. [Bridge] They called it sacred — I called it fraud. They sold forgiveness — I paid in blood. The altar cracked beneath my feet, Hell felt kinder than the priest. [Final Chorus] I wear my sin like a saint wears white, I dance on tombs in electric night. I bowed to gods with a velvet knife — Sanctified, by sin not light. [Outro – whispered, layered, distorted] Ave Maria... Ave profitum... Gloria in excelsis... Amen.
