[Intro]
Bells in the fog
Rust on the cross
Candles like eyes
Every halo lost
[Verse 1]
Marble floor, blood red scuff
Breath runs short, faith not enough
Latin on the wall starts crawling, corrupt
Every single sin that I hid kicks up
Choir in the rafters, chanting my name
Pews all crack as they lean in the frame
Stained glass grin with a fracture vein
Whole room tilts, something wants my shame
Shadows twitch in a stutter-frame loop
Necks all bend at a digital swoop
Fog in my lungs, taste copper and soot
Door slams shut, then the ground goes up
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that click
World goes glitch
Floorboard shifts
Veins all itch
If this is grace
Why’s it burn?
Every step I take
Spirits churn
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cathedral of static
Where the dead rise slow, automatic
Every bell tolls out like panic
And the choir screams, cinematic
We go up, up, up, no landing
All the ghosts in my blood still chanting
If you came for peace, that’s tragic
This is pure black magic
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the smoke, sockets full of code
Tongues spit bugs, every hymn unloads
Pale hands clap on a shattered throne
Crown made out of frozen phone tones
Body gets light, pulled through the roof
Ribs vibrate in a jagged groove
Angels fall in a staircase spin
Wings glitch out, then they tear my skin
Ceiling cracks open, hallway of teeth
Every forgotten prayer underneath
Footsteps double, I’m my own stampede
Pulse in my neck plays a warped LP
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that snap
Time derails
Candles drip
Cold on nails
If this is truth
Why’s it lie?
Every breath I take
Scrapes the sky
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cathedral of static
Where the dead rise slow, automatic
Every bell tolls out like panic
And the choir screams, cinematic
We go up, up, up, no landing
All the ghosts in my blood still chanting
If you came for peace, that’s tragic
This is pure black magic
[Bridge]
(I don’t come in peace)
I came to drag my doubts to the altar
Watch ‘em all melt in voltage and sulfur
(I don’t want relief)
I want the walls to fold, to falter
Let the whole dark heaven get louder, louder
[Chorus]
Welcome to the cathedral of static
Where the dead rise slow, automatic
Every bell tolls out like panic
And the choir screams, cinematic
We go up, up, up, no landing
All the ghosts in my blood still chanting
If you came for peace, that’s tragic
This is pure black magic
