Quietus (Remastered)

Epic fantasy choral chant with deep male vocals, echoing monks in a stone hall, slow war drums, low choir drones, and airy flutes; verses start sparse and solemn, chorus swells with layered harmonies and distant horn calls, final refrain rises in intensity then falls back into a single voice fading in mountain wind, say the line Reh-kwee-ESS-kaht in PAH-keh like Requiescat in pace in latin

(Verse 1) White shadows drift through crowded streets A thousand faces, none that see The bells all ring, but not for me Just echoes of eternity (Pre-Chorus) A fleeting breath, a life undone It ends before it’s begun (Chorus) Requiescat in pace… I whisper low Where the guilty and the righteous go No prayers can wash these hands I keep Only silence buried deep Between the truth and what they say I take a life, then fade away No trace, no face, no saving grace Requiescat in pace (Verse 2) Their words are gold, their lies divine They draw their borders in the mind But every throne begins to shake With every oath I choose to break (Pre-Chorus) No judgment left, no sacred ground Just hearts that stop without a sound (Chorus) Requiescat in pace… I whisper low Where the guilty and the righteous go No prayers can wash these hands I keep Only silence buried deep Between the truth and what they say I take a life, then fade away No trace, no face, no saving grace Requiescat in pace (Bridge) If I am sin, then so are they Just dressed in robes that hide decay Who decides what’s wrong or right When both sides vanish in the night? (Breakdown / Whisper) Requiescat in pace… No heaven waits… no saving place… (Final Chorus) Requiescat in pace… hear it fall A final mercy over all No hero’s name, no one to blame Just fading embers in the flame Between the shadow and the light I disappear into the night No truth remains I can embrace Requiescat in pace
