[Intro – orchestral, choir + strings (inspired by “Lacrimosa”)]
(whispered female voice)
From the ruins of heaven we crawl,
Our prayers are dust, our faith is small.
Hear the requiem for what we’ve done —
The final hymn for everyone.
---
[Verse 1 – screamed male vocals / low strings + choral background]
Blackened sky, the rivers dry,
Empires crumble, angels lie.
Every crown’s a broken chain,
Every god forgets your name.
The choirs fade in static cries,
No savior left, no great arise.
We built our thrones in borrowed flame,
And whispered mercy — in vain.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean female vocals / choir echo “Dies irae, dies illa” softly]
We were never meant for grace,
Just shadows wearing human face.
---
[Chorus – massive, orchestral, clean female vocals + screams underneath]
Requiem of the fallen ones,
The fire’s cold, the light is gone.
Sing for the ashes, sing for the sin,
There’s no redemption — we begin again.
From sacred dust to cosmic void,
The song of man — destroyed.
---
[Verse 2 – screamed male vocals, driving strings, darker tone]
Faith is code and love is debt,
We pray to ghosts through the internet.
Holy words on poisoned tongues,
We learned to kneel with loaded guns.
Rex tremendae — the skies ignite,
Majesty drowned in satellite light.
The angels fall, their wings decayed,
The choir screams — but none are saved.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean female vocals over orchestral tension]
We were never meant for grace,
Just shadows wearing human face.
---
[Chorus – layered, cinematic, both vocals + choirs]
Requiem of the fallen ones,
The fire’s cold, the light is gone.
Sing for the ashes, sing for the sin,
There’s no redemption — we begin again.
From sacred dust to cosmic void,
The song of man — destroyed.
---
[Bridge – orchestral interlude / choir sings in Latin softly]
(Gregorian-styled choir)
> “Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis…”
(female voice overlaps in English)
The flames consume the hearts we made,
In holy light, our names will fade.
(whispered male voice)
We burned the heavens to stay warm —
And called it rebirth, called it form.
---
[Breakdown – heavy guitars + full choir / screams]
Burn it down!
Tear the veil!
Even gods are bound to fail!
In the void — our voices blend,
A requiem that never ends!
---
[Final Chorus – full orchestration, layered vocals, apocalyptic energy]
Requiem of the fallen ones,
Our faith undone, our time is gone.
Sing for the ashes, sing for the sin,
We are the fire — and we begin.
From sacred dust to endless night,
We found our peace in dying light.
---
[Outro – orchestral fade, quiet choir]
(female whisper)
Lacrimosa…
for what we’ve become.
