[Intro] Choir whispers: Sol… tacuit… lumen exstinctum… Shadows rise, Stars are weeping embers, The heavens bleed in silence, We stand beneath the void. [Verse I] Once there was fire in the sky, A crown of gold above the worlds. Now the flame lies broken, The heart of day has turned to stone. Choir (beneath): Lux perditum… aeternum nox… [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it calling? The silence of the grave. We are children of a vanished star, Drifting into endless dark. [Chorus] The sun just vanished, torn from the sky! Burned out in silence, no reason, no sign. The sun just vanished, leaving us blind… And the cosmos mourns tonight. [Verse II] Every orbit shattered, Every prayer has turned to stone. We kneel upon the ashes, Yet still the heavens do not speak. Choir (interwoven): Sol cadit… sol cadit… lux mortua est. [Bridge] Opera-style solo: O endless night, receive our cries, Carry them beyond the stars. If the heavens are unjust, Then let our voices be the fire. Choir (call & response): Dies irae, dies tenebris! Dies irae, dies aeternum! [Final Chorus] The sun just vanished, torn from the sky! Cast into silence, no reason, no sign. The sun just vanished, leaving us blind… Still the cosmos mourns tonight. Choir (soaring in counterpoint): Lux mortua… lux mortua… aeternum nox!
