Arca Foederis

[Intro]
Lux in arca
vox abscondita
silens fulgur
ignis in umbra
[Verse 1]
Tabulae fractae
clavis tonitrui
Sanguis in velo
terra tremit sub tui
Nomen arcani
scribitur in ossibus
Pellis et pulvis
ardent ante oraculum
[Chorus]
Arca foederis, cor deitatis
claustrum fulminis, oculus iudicis
Noli tangere, noli aspicere
cadet caro tua sub pondere gloriae
Arca foederis, vox silentii
clamor angelus in tenebris latet
Noli tangere, noli vivere
sub pondere gloriae, cor tuum rumpitur
[Verse 2]
Cherubim rigent
alas ferro gravis
Gladius igneus
circa sacrum terminus
Reges procidunt
coronam in cineres
Manus temeraria
marcescit in tenebris
[Chorus]
Arca foederis, cor deitatis
claustrum fulminis, oculus iudicis
Noli tangere, noli aspicere
cadet caro tua sub pondere gloriae
Arca foederis, vox silentii
clamor angelus in tenebris latet
Noli tangere, noli vivere
sub pondere gloriae, cor tuum rumpitur
[Bridge]
Deus absconditus
in cubo aureo
lex et fulgor
cor in ferro
Quis ingreditur?
Quis respirabit? (heh)
Sub velo tremulo
mundus conticescit
[Chorus]
Arca foederis, cor deitatis
claustrum fulminis, oculus iudicis
Noli tangere, noli aspicere
cadet caro tua sub pondere gloriae
Arca foederis, vox silentii
clamor angelus in tenebris latet
Noli tangere, noli vivere
sub pondere gloriae, cor tuum rumpitur

rap, Hybrid death metal / cathedral trap fusion; male vocals. Intro opens with grand pipe organ and distant Latin choir, then drops into downtuned guitars, sub-heavy 808-style bass, and sharp trap hats under relentless double-kick patterns. Verses lean into guttural screams with choral call-and-response; chorus explodes wide with stacked Gregorian-style harmonies and massive low-end hits. Bridge strips to organ, bass drones, and whispered Latin before a final, crushing full-band drop., latin, death metal
