[Verse] Hail, holy Queen on a throne of night, Oh Maria Crowned in sorrow, wrapped in light, Oh Maria [Pre-Chorus] From shattered bells to burning skies, We lift our wounds, we lift our cries. [Chorus] Rise now, cherubim, in flame and awe, Cry out, seraphim, in ancient law, Heaven bleeds, the earth replies, Salve… Salve… Salve Regina. [Verse] Mother of mercy, veiled in pain, Oh Maria Born of tears, of love, of rain, Oh Maria [Pre-Chorus] Through incense, ash, and holy dread, Your name is sung by living and dead. [Chorus] Rise now, cherubim, in flame and awe, Cry out, seraphim, in ancient law, Heaven bleeds, the earth replies, Salve… Salve… Salve Regina. [Bridge] Our life below… a fragile breath, Oh Maria Our hope in grief, in love, in death, Oh Maria (choir whispers) Cherubim… Seraphim… [Breakdown / Chant] Steel and stone resound as one, The prayer begun is never done. [Final Chorus] (full force) Triumph, cherubim, through fire and scars, Sing, seraphim, tear open the stars, Heaven falls, the grave replies, Salve… Salve… Salve Regina. [Outro] (fading chant) Queen of night, Queen of grace, Guide us through this dying place.
