Verse 1
In the hollow of my faith I kneel,
Where every scar begins to heal.
The air is thick with rust and smoke,
The final prayers I never spoke.
I see the altar, burned and cracked,
My sins engraved where light turned black.
A choir screams through broken glass,
Echoes of a world long passed.
Pre-Chorus 1
I reach for light but find the blaze,
A sanctum lost in hellfire’s haze.
The warmth feels cold against my skin,
The flame consumes what once was sin.
Chorus 1
Sanctum inferno, my soul ignites,
I burn for truth through endless nights.
The fire’s call, my final plea,
But in its wrath, I’m finally free.
⸻
Verse 2
The echoes cry from walls of sin,
I hear the ghosts I kept within.
Their hollow eyes reflect my past,
The choices made, the shadows cast.
I gave them life, I fed their hate,
Now I return to seal my fate.
The serpent coils beneath my chest,
Hissing lies I once confessed.
Pre-Chorus 2
The smoke reveals what faith denies,
A thousand truths, a thousand lies.
My voice breaks through the roaring sound,
A fallen saint, unholy crowned.
Chorus 2
Sanctum inferno, my soul ignites,
I burn for truth in endless nights.
The flame consumes what’s left of me,
But in the fire, I cease to bleed.

Bridge
(clean vocals + haunting guitar arpeggio)
Baptized in heat, my spirit screams,
A holy war inside my dreams.
No gods remain, no angels cry,
Just embers falling from the sky.
And though I walk through fire’s gate,
I feel alive, I feel my fate.
The pain, the ash, the endless glow,
This is the only home I know.
Verse 3
The sky above begins to tear,
The smoke ascends — I’m almost there.
My body breaks, my voice decays,
But something pure still finds its way.
Through burning lungs, I start to sing,
A requiem for everything.
My shadow dances in the flame,
No shame, no guilt, no god to blame.
Final Chorus
Sanctum inferno, my soul ignites,
I burn for truth in endless nights.
I’ve shed my chains, embraced the flame,
And rise reborn through fire’s name.
No pain remains, no gods decree,
I forged my peace through agony.
Outro (Spoken + screamed overlap)
Ashes fall where faith once grew,
The flame has died — but I burn true.
Through smoke and ruin, I still stand,
A spark reborn from my own hand.
Sanctum inferno — the fire is me.
