Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold stone chapel Guttering flame Mud on my boots Blood on my name Scrolls on the altar Sealed in wax Oaths like chains across my back [Chorus] Vox templarius (In the dark I answer) Speak for the buried dust (For the fallen lances) Deus vult But do You hear Steel and psalter Sweat and fear Vox templarius Broken Yet I sing [Verse 2] April rain on rusted mail Crow feathers caught in a shattered scale Whispers in Latin Counting scars France at my feet Eyes on the stars [Chorus] Vox templarius (In the dark I answer) Speak for the buried dust (For the fallen lances) Deus vult But do You hear Steel and psalter Sweat and fear Vox templarius Broken Yet I sing [Bridge] If I am judged by sword and flame Remember my hunger more than my fame Bread to the poor Wine to the lame Lord Write that line beside my name [Chorus] Vox templarius (In the dark I answer) Speak for the buried dust (For the fallen lances) Deus vult But do You hear Steel and psalter Sweat and fear Vox templarius Broken Yet I sing

Slow, solemn medieval ballad with male vocals; open with unaccompanied chant, then add droning fiddle and soft frame drum. Verses stay intimate and narrow in range, chorus widens with stacked monk-like harmonies. Occasional church bell tones and faint organ swell for sacred weight, ending on a hushed, lingering vocal chord.
