[Verse 1] They take their seats the field arrays A thousand throats begin to rise I close my eyes and let it play The overture of paradise Every blade a plucking string Every shattered shield a drum This is what devotion brings The concert only I become [Pre-Chorus] Listen close the tuning starts Steel on steel a rising key Screaming choirs of broken hearts Singing every note for me Can you hear it building now Can you feel the swell arrive This is holy hear it now The sound that keeps a Chaos god alive [Chorus] This is the sweetest sound The sweetest sound Bodies as instruments bleeding in tune This is the sweetest sound The sweetest sound Heaven was never so beautifully ruined Every scream a perfect chord Every death a rising tone This is the music I adored I will not silence it alone [Verse 2] A widow's wail soprano pure A father's roar the baritone The dying always find for sure A voice they never knew they'd own I conduct them with my blade Section by section they comply No one's ever truly stayed In tune until they learn to die [Bridge] And for one bar I hear it wrong A scream as just a scream not song A silence where the beauty broke And something quiet almost spoke No no the Prince does not permit Doubt is a note I won't admit I drown it out I let it ring I was not built for anything But this [Final Chorus] This is the sweetest sound The sweetest sound Louder than doubt louder than the dark This is the sweetest sound The sweetest sound I'll play this world until it's just my art Every scream I make it mine Every silence I refuse This is the only holy sign There is no me if there's no muse The sweetest sound Slaanesh can you hear it now
