[Intro – organ and choir harmony, slow build-up]
👼 Ave Maria...
👿 In black lace and fire...
[Verse 1]
Silken robes and shadowed halls,
He lies beneath cathedral walls.
A whispered hymn, a bleeding crown,
The faithful rise, the truth burns down.
Eyes like incense, smoke divine,
He drinks the blood, He tastes like wine.
Confession sold for silver’s kiss,
They kneel for pain, not holiness.
[Chorus]
🕯️ Velvet crosses, bleeding gold,
Prayers are bought and sins are sold.
The Devil dances in disguise,
He wears a mitre, tells sweet lies.
Velvet crosses, soft and stained,
The choir moans His holy name.
Saints fall silent, angels cry,
In velvet crosses… we all die.
[Verse 2]
Mother Mary, dressed in black,
Hides her sorrow, turns her back.
The altar shakes, the idols smile,
All sanctity defiled in style.
They sing of hope, they preach of grace,
But lust and guilt share sacred space.
Candles melt in crimson streams,
While shepherds feed on broken dreams.
[Chorus]
Velvet crosses, bleeding gold,
Prayers are bought and sins are sold.
The Devil dances in disguise,
He wears a mitre, tells sweet lies.
Velvet crosses, soft and stained,
The choir moans His holy name.
Saints fall silent, angels cry,
In velvet crosses… we all die.
[Bridge – orchestral, Latin chanting in background]
Domine, ignosce nobis…
Butchered faith, in blackened robes.
Salve Regina…
Your crown is thorns, your throne is smoke.
[Breakdown – distorted guitar solo over choir]
[Final Chorus – slower, heavier]
Velvet crosses, final breath,
Painted lips now whisper death.
No more miracles, no more lies—
Just velvet crosses, and empty skies.
