The Relic of Souls

(Intro: Gregorian Chant - Latin) Adoramus sanctum pignus, In tenebris lux remanet. Custodimus arcanum aeternum, Sub sigillo veritatis. (Verse 1 - English) I walk the halls where dust has settled deep, Where centuries their silent vigils keep. Behind the iron gates and walls of stone, A hidden power wakes, left all alone. It pulses cold against the winter air, An ancient echo caught within a prayer. (Pre-Chorus - English) The iron keys are turning in the lock, The shadow shifts upon the broken rock. A legacy of silver, blood, and light, Descending from the hollow stars of night. (Chorus - English) Oh, sacred relic, lost in time and space, The missing fragment of a dying grace. We hold the fire that the gods bestowed, Carrying the burden on this weary road. (Bridge - Gregorian Chant - Latin) Sancta reliquia, lux divina, Clavis mundi, via celestia. O, ignis sanctus, libera nos, In aeternum, amen. (Verse 2 - English) No human touch can mend the splintered seal, No mortal wound the spirit tries to heal. It shines with knowledge written in the stars, To wash away the deep and jagged scars. A gift of silence wrapped in heavy gold, The story that the wind has never told. (Guitar Solo / Orchestral swelling) (Chorus - English) Oh, sacred relic, lost in time and space, The missing fragment of a dying grace. We hold the fire that the gods bestowed, Carrying the burden on this weary road. (Outro - Gregorian Chant) Pax vobiscum, in aeternum... Sancta reliquia...
