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

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

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

No mercy given, none received…

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

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

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

(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

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

NEMO! (stop)

ME! (stop)

SINE POENA! (stop)

LACESS-ET! (explode)

Soaring lead melody with harmonized bends — echo on last phrase into final chorus

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

(quiet clean voice over fading arpeggio)

No one attacks me with impunity… no one.
