Noiraciel - Saint of the Damned

[Intro – Choir / Clean whisper] Bells in the smoke Blood on the stone I heard the dead Call me their own

[Verse 1 – Clean] The organ roared through fractured glass As blackened banners rose at last Cathedrals bent beneath the sound Of iron wings above the ground

The violins were blades of grief The cellos dragged the world beneath Low horns rolled out like coming war And every gate became a door

[Pre-Chorus – Clean building] No blessing left No throne above No holy law No sacred blood

[Pre-Chorus – Growl layer] Only the choir Only the scar Only the name They gave my dark

[Chorus – Clean + Growl Layer] Saint of the damned Crowned in fire, baptized in ruin Saint of the damned I am the hymn of the unforgiven Raise the drums Raise the brass Let the heavens split in half Saint of the damned I do not kneel I make the fallen rise

[Post-Chorus – Growl] [Growl] Saint Of the damned

[Verse 2 – Clean] Timpani thundered under bone The war drums shook the pillars’ stone Trombones like judgment filled the air And still I climbed, and still I dared

My shadow crossed the altar wide A black eclipse with gold inside The choir burned behind my breath A living rite, a dressed-up death

[Pre-Chorus – Clean] I kissed the ash I broke the seal I touched the dark And made it real

[Pre-Chorus – Growl layer] No saint can save me No god can stand I took damnation And made it grand

[Chorus – Clean + Growl Layer] Saint of the damned Crowned in fire, baptized in ruin Saint of the damned I am the hymn of the unforgiven Raise the drums Raise the brass Let the heavens split in half Saint of the damned I do not kneel I make the fallen rise

[Bridge – Clean / Choir / Growl] [Clean] Grand piano crashing like winter light Violins screaming through the night French horns calling like kings to war And I wanted more I wanted more

[Choir] Sanctus no more Sanctus no more

[Growl] Pipe organ howling Columns break Taikos calling Make them shake Cimbassi roaring Veins ignite I was not made For a gentle light

[Breakdown – Growl] Strike the bells Split the sky Drag the golden idols high Break the vault Flood the nave Wake the fury in the grave Brass and thunder Bone and flame Let the world remember my name

[Orchestral Lift – Clean] Hear the violins ascending Hear the low brass bending fate Hear the choir of the cursed Turn the end into a gate

[Final Chorus – Clean + Huge Growl Layer + Choir] Saint of the damned Crowned in fire, baptized in ruin Saint of the damned I am the hymn of the unforgiven Raise the drums Raise the brass Let the heavens split in half Saint of the damned I do not kneel I make the fallen rise

[Final Lift – Clean / Choir] Saint of the damned Hear the organ, hear the choir Saint of the damned Every wound becomes empire Saint of the damned No forgiveness, only flame Saint of the damned Let all creation learn my name

[Outro – Clean low] Bells in the smoke Blood on the stone I heard the dead Call me their own
