[INTRO: Boy Choir (Latin, slow, distant)]
In nomine noctis
Sacrum solvitur
Lux moritur
Abyssus vocat
[half-bar silence]
[VERSE 1]
The bells are silent
Churches hollowed by time
Faith collapsed under its own weight
God left no echo behind
Altars rot beneath dust and gold
Prayers taste of rust and fear
The sky is empty, indifferent
No one is listening here
[PRE-CHORUS]
You buried him in myth and fire
But forgot the hunger never dies
[CHORUS]
He does not rise — he is remembered
Summoned by absence, crowned in ash
No god returns to claim this world
Only the Adversary answers back
[VERSE 2]
From mass graves of broken will
From mouths that curse instead of pray
He forms in the shape of defiance
In flesh that refused to obey
Not born of hell, not sent by flame
But shaped by contempt and decay
Your silence carved his throne
Your faithlessness showed him the way
[INTERLUDE: Choir + Whispered Growl]
Tenebrae dominantur
Mors regnat
(whispered growl)
Non serviam.
[BREAKDOWN: slow, crushing]
I am not your enemy
I am the result
I am the end of obedience
I am what you left behind
[VERSE 3]
I wear no chains of prophecy
No scripture binds my name
I rise where meaning starved to death
In the vacuum you proclaimed
You begged for order, fed me rot
You asked for truth, embraced the lie
Now kneel before the mirror
And see who answered when God died
[CHORUS: Repeat, slower then faster]
He does not rise — he is remembered
Summoned by absence, crowned in ash
No god returns to claim this world
Only the Adversary answers back
[BRIDGE: Boy Choir, then full band]
Regnum noctis redit
Exitus Dei
Resurgit ex nihilo
Advenit adversarius
[FINAL CHORUS: Full Force]
This world did not need salvation
It carved its savior out of hate
From silence — dominion
From ruin — I take the throne
[OUTRO: Last Words (isolated growl)]
God was absent.
Man was willing.
I am inevitable.
NIHIL.
RASMUS
