Throne of Frozen Choirs

[Verse 1]
Ash in the chalice
Wax on the page
I carve your forgotten
Name in the plague
Candles breathe sideways
Thick with regret
Ravens keep counting
Debts I forget
[Chorus]
On the throne of frozen choirs
I wear this crown of quiet fires
Every hymn a curse you swore
(bleeding through the stone)
Let the shattered halos fall
Blackened glass in every hall
I am hymned and I am whored
By the kingdom you ignored
[Verse 2]
Veins like the catacombs
Hollow and wide
Choirboys of carrion
Sing from my side
Stained velvet scripture
Pinned to my skin
I open like incense
Smoke drawing you in
[Chorus]
On the throne of frozen choirs
I wear this crown of quiet fires
Every hymn a curse you swore
(bleeding through the stone)
Let the shattered halos fall
Blackened glass in every hall
I am hymned and I am whored
By the kingdom you ignored
[Bridge]
[Organ and choir rise
Tempo half-time]
Censer swings
Ashes snow
Tongues of wolves
Praise below
Take this night
Crack the husk
Crown me king
Of ruined dusk
[Chorus]
On the throne of frozen choirs
I wear this crown of quiet fires
Every hymn a curse you swore
(bleeding through the stone)
Let the shattered halos fall
Blackened glass in every hall
I am hymned and I am whored
By the kingdom you ignored

metal, Symphonic black metal with gothic overtones; tremolo-picked minor-key guitars over relentless blast beats, choirs stacked under a rasping male vocal. Cold orchestral strings and church organ swell in the chorus, with distant tolling bells and subtle choral whispers to widen the soundscape. Dynamics surge from claustrophobic verses to towering, cathedral-high refrains, ending on a long, reverberant chord that decays into wind and low choir., black metal, symphonic black metal
