[Intro – Chanting priests + deep bells]
[Distant Latin-esque chanting]
“In nomine… deliria…
Aperi portas insanitatis…”
(“In the name of delirium… open the gates of madness…”)
[massive pipe organ swell]
[Verse 1 – Slow, grand, ritualistic]
Under arches made of fear,
Where the shadows kneel and hear—
I walk the aisle of fractured light,
Where day is wrong and dusk feels right.
The saints of chaos raise their hands,
Sculpted from forgotten lands.
Their marble smiles are cracked and torn,
Their eyes like stars that died reborn.
[Pre-Chorus – Choir rising]
Whispers crawl along the stone,
Voices not my own…
Every echo begs me:
“Join us… join us…
You’re not alone…”
[Chorus – Explosive]
In the Cathedral of Madness,
Where every prayer is born from pain!
Raise your voice in the purest sadness—
Let the choir sanctify the insane!
Every scream becomes salvation,
Every tear a revelation!
Bow before the holy chaos—
In this cathedral made of us!
[Verse 2 – Faster, more urgent]
Stained-glass windows twist and bleed,
Shifting scenes of every need.
Confessions etched in trembling light—
Pages torn from endless night.
The altar burns with silent hymns,
Lamplight dying on the whims
Of every thought I tried to hide—
Now carved in stone, immortalized.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Bigger choir + percussion]
Whispers crawl along the stone,
Voices not my own…
Every echo begs me:
“Join us… join us…
Come claim your throne…”
[Chorus 2]
In the Cathedral of Madness,
Where every prayer is born from pain!
Raise your voice in divine sadness—
Let the choir sanctify the insane!
Every scream becomes salvation,
Every tear a revelation!
Bow before the holy chaos—
In this cathedral made of us!
[Bridge – Spoken, with rising choir]
“They say sanity is sacred…
but I see no saints here.”
[choir grows louder]
“In this place…
we worship what the world fears.”
[pipe organ slams a chord]
[Breakdown – Choir + heavy guitars]
Sanctus! Sanctus!
Holy is the soul undone!
Agnus! Agnus!
Sacrifice the final one!
Dominus! Dominus!
Chaos reigns where truth once lay!
Benedictus! Benedictus!
Let the madness light the way!
[Final Chorus – Full choir + orchestra + guitar wall]
In the Cathedral of Madness,
Where broken minds become divine!
Lift your heart in manic gladness—
Let the choir crown the serpentine!
Every scream becomes salvation,
Every truth an incantation!
Bow before the holy chaos—
In this cathedral…
born of us!
[Outro – Choir fades]
[soft chant, fading into silence]
“Sanctus… Sanctus…
Deliria aeternum…”
(“Holy… holy… eternal madness…”)
