[Intro] [Deep rolling sub-bass fades in] [Slow, heavy roots reggae drums] [Spacey dub echoes, distant bowed string motif] [Dark, gritty atmosphere] [Verse 1] [Laid-back male vocals, deep and resonant] The mugs are empty, the fire burned out A pale shadow slithers about The Reaper does not laugh, he claims his toll The blood in your veins begins to freeze You lived, you loved, you drank through the night But in the end, the darkness claims its right [Pre-Chorus] [Drums begin a slow, militant marching rhythm] [Deep bass grows heavier] [Dub delays trail off into darkness] Seven sins were carved into stone But the darkest one now breaks through your door Hear the whisper in the deep, dark mire? What you buried will come back for you! [Dub Chant] [Deep male vocal chant, spacious delay] Ah-Oh-Umm... Hu! Hu! [Echoes repeat and dissolve into silence] [Chorus] [Heavy militant roots reggae groove] [Deep rolling sub-bass, pounding marching drums] [Dark layered male vocals, hypnotic and commanding] For the eighth deadly sin breaks the ancient decree! It celebrates the end, it brings you death! No mead in the cup, no light in the dark The eighth deadly sin has brought the cold! [Dub echo: Peccatum!] [Deep backing vocals: The eighth sin!] [Verse 2] [Laid-back male vocals, gritty and controlled] The Ten Commandments you cursed and denied You sought an eleventh one in drunken delight You wanted to burn, to blaze and shine Now you must walk the path of the damned The eighth sin is the void, a hollow grave Devouring everything you tried to save [Pre-Chorus] [Slow marching drums intensify] [Sub-bass pulses beneath a dark, spacious dub atmosphere] Seven sins were carved into stone But the darkest one now breaks through your door Hear the whisper in the deep, dark mire? What you buried will come back for you! [Dub Chant] [Deep male vocal chant, long trailing delays] Ah-Oh-Umm... Hu! Hu! [Chorus] [Heavy militant roots reggae groove] [Deep rolling sub-bass, pounding marching drums] [Dark layered male vocals, hypnotic and commanding] For the eighth deadly sin breaks the ancient decree! It celebrates the end, it brings you death! No mead in the cup, no light in the dark The eighth deadly sin has brought the cold! [Dub echo: The eighth sin!] [Instrumental Break] [Deep rolling sub-bass takes the lead] [Slow militant drums, heavy one-drop accents] [Spacey dub delays and dark echoing string fragments] [Brief instrumental dropouts, bass returns heavier] [Bridge] [Heavy half-time marching beat] [Deep, gritty male vocals, restrained and ominous] [Low vocal drone, spacious dub echoes] What rules in the dark is not dead When the last spark in your heart turns to ice The sin of the void, the end of all lust An icy armor upon your chest! [Sudden vocal outburst] DEVOURED! [Dub Echo] [The word "DEVOURED" repeats and fades into darkness] [Dub Chant] [Deep male vocal chant, distant and ghostly] Ah-Oh-Umm... Hu! Hu! [Final Chorus] [Full militant roots reggae groove] [Massive rolling sub-bass, slow marching drums] [Layered male vocals, dark and resolute] For the eighth deadly sin breaks the ancient decree! It celebrates the end, it brings you death! No mead in the cup, no light in the dark The eighth deadly sin has brought the cold! [Dub echo: The eighth sin!] [Outro] [Drums gradually fade, sub-bass lingers] [Spacious dub delays on the final vocal] [Deep, quiet male voice] Seven were written... The eighth has taken you. [Massive final drum hit] [Deep bass cuts out] [Sudden silence]
