[Militaristic Rock Anthem + Gregorian Choir - Stile: Powerwolf meets Sabaton con elementi sinfonici] [Intro: Gregorian Chant] [CHOIR (Latin, low octave)] "Dies irae, dies illa..." [Military snare drum starts a marching rhythm] [Verse 1] Steel crosses on the battlefield, Ash is falling like a veil. Through the smoke, a shadow crawls— Hear the whispers of the olden laws. [Guitars kick in with machine-gun palm muting] [Pre-Chorus] They promised us a golden age, Now the sky’s a crimson cage. [CHOIR (whispering)] "Pax... pax..." [Chorus] When the saints march out to war, Blood and psalms on frozen shores. Light the pyres, sound the horns— God won’t judge the bulletborn! [CHOIR (forte, Latin)] "Solvet saeclum in favilla!" [Verse 2] The trumpets lied, the banners fell, Every wound a prophet’s spell. Children’s hands hold rusted guns, [CHOIR (echo)] "Judex ergo cum sedebit..." [Pre-Chorus] They promised us a golden age, Now the sky’s a crimson cage. [CHOIR (whispering)] "Pax... pax..." [Chorus] When the saints march out to war, Blood and psalms on frozen shores. Light the pyres, sound the horns— God won’t judge the bulletborn! [CHOIR (forte, Latin)] "Solvet saeclum in favilla!" [Assolo] [Bridge: Drop to Silence] [Single snare hit] [CHOIR (a cappella, haunting)] "Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?" [Guitar solo wails like a dying soldier] [Final Chorus + Outro] When the saints march home no more, Hell is knocking at the door. Burn the treaties, load the ore— Christ won’t shield the thunderborn! [CHOIR fades into Morse code beeps] [...-- ...-- (SV, "Sic Vic")*
