RITUAL OF THE FALLEN

Intro (whispered / airy)

Follow me into the quiet

Where the sky forgets our names

Verse 1

I feel the weight of a dying sun

Pressing down on everyone

Bite my tongue, swallow the truth

I’m still bleeding just to prove

Hands around my hollow chest

Counting breaths I never kept

If this is living, let me know

Why it feels like letting go

Pre-Chorus (building tension)

Carve the symbol in my skin

Let the ceremony begin

Chorus (massive, anthemic)

Circle with me, don’t look away

If we’re damned, then let’s stay

I’m already six feet in the sound

Of the world burning down

Say my name like a broken prayer

If there’s nothing left, I’ll meet you there

Verse 2

Heaven’s quiet, hell’s asleep

Nothing left for us to keep

I built a home inside the ache

Just to watch it fucking break

Every hope collapses slow

Like a crown made out of bone

I gave my soul to feel alive

Now I’m just trying to survive

Pre-Chorus

Trace the mark, complete the sign

If this ends, let it be divine

Chorus

Circle with me, don’t look away

If we’re damned, then let’s stay

I’m already six feet in the sound

Of the world burning down

Say my name like a broken prayer

If there’s nothing left, I’ll meet you there

Breakdown (low, violent, Spiritbox-style)

Bury the light

Bury the truth

We were the fire

Now we’re the proof

BLEGH.

Bridge (Doomed-style cinematic swell)

I was born to lose the fight

Still I scream into the night

If this pain is all I own

Then I’ll make it feel like home

Final Chorus (huge, layered, emotional)

Circle with me, hold the line

If we fall, we fall divine

I’m already numb to the sound

Of the world burning down

Say my name when heaven’s gone

I’ll still be here when hope moves on

Outro (soft, fading)

In the end, we were never saved

Just beautifully unafraid
