[Intro] "You should not have come here You should not have seen it The attic remembers everything And tonight, it watches" [Verse 1] You brought your judgment into this room You climbed these stairs to witness what should not be seen You speak of conscience like something sacred You speak of mercy as though it still belongs to me [Chorus] Sanguis Magistri The hand that shaped me now must fall Ars Mortua Est Your holy art has turned against us Imago Testis Est The painted witness never closes its eyes And in this room judgment bleeds [Verse 2] Look at your masterpiece Look at what devotion has become Brushstrokes twisted into accusation Oil and shadow bearing all my sins Do not ask me to kneel Do not ask me to repent [Chorus] Sanguis Magistri The hand that shaped me now must fall Ars Mortua Est Your holy art has turned against us Imago Testis Est The painted witness never closes its eyes And in this room judgment bleeds [Bridge] Once Steel in trembling hands Again A cry against the wooden walls Deeper Breath collapsing into blood Again AGAIN AGAIN!!! No prayer answers Only silence [Breakdown] Sanguis Magistri Ars Mortua Est Imago Vivit Sanguis Magistri Ars Mortua Est Imago Vivit [Instrumental Bridge] [Final Chorus] Sanguis Magistri The hand that shaped me lies in dust Ars Mortua Est Your holy art now breathes within me Imago Vivit The painted witness opens its eyes And in this room something lives [Outro] Blood on the attic floor Blood on the painted frame Imago… Vivit
