Sine Poena

Claws on concrete, teeth on bone
You whispered weakness, I sharpened stone
Your shadow moved but never touched
Now every breath you take can’t be trusted

(quick rhythmic chant)
Count the lies, count the scars — they multiply
I catalog the reasons why you’ll die inside

[Pre‑Chorus — Clean yelled mix]
Cold as steel, I’m lined in rage
I learned to read the scent of prey
Don’t mistake my silence for peace
I’m the promise you’ll never keep

[Chorus — Clean, melodic]
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — hear it break the sky
(Repeat)
You cross the line, you feel the night
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — don’t test me twice

[Post‑Chorus — Harsh whisper over lead]
No mercy given, none received…

[Verse 2 — Harsh Vocals]
Paper crowns and coward smiles
I built a throne from all your trials
You traded honor for a cheap applause
I forged my wrath from every cause

(short staccato screams)
You move like vultures, I move like knives
You’ll count your breaths on borrowed time

[Pre‑Chorus — Clean/Harsh mix]
Cold as steel, I’m lined in rage
I learned to read the scent of prey
Don’t mistake my silence for peace
I’m the promise you’ll never keep

[Chorus — Clean, full band]
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — hear it break the sky
(Repeat)
You cross the line, you feel the night
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — don’t test me twice

[Bridge — Build into Breakdown]
(Half‑time, harsh)
You thought I’d bend, you thought I’d break — you misread every face
I don’t forgive, I don’t forget — the ledger’s set in place

[Breakdown — Full brutality]
Palm‑mute chugs (syncopated), double‑kick blast, bass face‑rattle
Shout: “I don’t need you!” ×4
Crushing riff hit — hold — silence — single guitar harmonic

[Breakdown Vocal Hook — Harsh, staccato]
NEMO! (stop)
ME! (stop)
SINE POENA! (stop)
LACESS-ET! (explode)

[Solo/Lead Section — Melodic lead over half‑time chugs]
Soaring lead melody with harmonized bends — echo on last phrase into final chorus

[Final Chorus — Clean + Gang Vocals]
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — break the world in two
(Repeat, gang vocal layering)
You crossed the line — now feel the night
Nemo me sine poena lacesset — we end as I decide

[Outro — Whisper / Distant]
(quiet clean voice over fading arpeggio)
No one attacks me with impunity… no one.
