Sine Qua Mortem

[Intro]
Soft steps
Empty hall
Cold breath on the mirror
Name on the wall
Sanguis tacet
Nox mea
Coram umbra
Lux cadit
[Verse 1]
I walk through the fear like a hallway
Every door just another old nightmare
Teeth in the dark try to call me
I stare back, let ’em know that I’m right here
Heart beat heavy like footsteps
Shadow on the ceiling keeps crawling
I was made in the mouth of the upset
Turn pain into fuel when it’s dawning
They pray that I fold in the fault line
I was raised where the fault lines sing
Turn thunder into outline
Of a crown made of every bad thing
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that?
My ghosts getting closer (closer)
They chant my name
But I’m colder
[Chorus]
I’m not afraid of the monsters I made
I wear their claws like a medal on my chest (on my chest)
Turn every curse to a blade
Cutting my path through the terror and the stress
From the grave of my doubt I rise
Eyes on fire, but the soul baptized
If the dark wants war, then let it begin
I don’t run from the night
I am the one who walks in
[Verse 2]
Fast breath, then I burst in a sharp flash
Tongue like a storm when the words crash
Run through the rage like a bloodbath
Still clean when I step from the backlash
Vade retro
Vocem audis
Ego surgo
Tu recedis
They fed me the fear like a medicine
Now I’m hooked on the rush when I’m menacing
Every scar in my skin is a testament
That I never bowed down to the regiment
I’m the calm in the center of the dread now
One step and the floorboards scream
But I dance with the dead in the red house
Turn horror to heat for the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
You hear that?
My doubts getting weaker (weaker)
They scratch my door
But I’m deeper
[Chorus]
I’m not afraid of the monsters I made
I wear their claws like a medal on my chest (on my chest)
Turn every curse to a blade
Cutting my path through the terror and the stress
From the grave of my doubt I rise
Eyes on fire, but the soul baptized
If the dark wants war, then let it begin
I don’t run from the night
I am the one who walks in
[Bridge]
Sine qua mortem
Vita mea
Nullum regnum
Sine poena
I’ve been sharpened
On the edge of dread
Every whisper in my ear
Just keeps me ahead (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’m not afraid of the monsters I made
I wear their claws like a medal on my chest
Turn every curse to a blade
Cutting my path through the terror and the stress
From the grave of my doubt I rise
Eyes on fire, but the soul baptized
If the dark wants war, then let it begin
I don’t run from the night
I am the one who walks in
