Sacraments of Lust

Lyrics

[Intro - sub-bass rumble, corrupted choir drones, distant metallic hits, glitch static pulsing in the dark]
Kneel beneath the neon altar
Taste the ash, the holy fire
Every prayer a sharpened whisper
Every vow a wired desire

[Verse 1 - down-tuned guitars grinding slow, industrial kicks, fractured synth stabs, snarling low vocals]
I wore your guilt like sacred silk
Drank the poison, called it milk
In the chapel of the blackened screen
I saw your halo split the machine
Hands like knives on a velvet wound
Moonlight crawling through the tomb
You were dressed in smoke and sin
I let the broken liturgy begin

[Pre-Chorus - tension rising, layered screams, strings swelling, glitch fills and distorted choir]
Hear the bells in the static rain
Feel the pulse in the rusted vein
We are baptized by hunger’s flame
Say my name, then burn the name

[Chorus - explosive nu metal hook, massive distorted guitars, pounding drums, dark synth layers, choir chanting underneath]
These are the sacraments of lust
Blood and chrome, and dust to dust
Take my soul, take my skin
Let the ruin pull us in
These are the sacraments of lust
Kneel in fire, break and trust
If heaven wants to watch us fall
Then we’ll stain the altar wall

[Verse 2 - glitchy rhythmic switches, machine-like percussion, eerie pads, aggressive rap-sung delivery]
I saw your shadow in the glass
All black lace and shattered past
Tongue of smoke, eyes of wire
Spitting sparks into the pyre
You preached the gospel of the blade
In the cathedral where we stayed
Every sin a coded key
Unlocking what we’re meant to be
I fed the dark, it fed me back
A crimson pulse inside the black
No mercy in the sacred noise
Just the sound of our destroyed voice

[Pre-Chorus - building harder, toms rolling, strings stabbing, choir intensifying]
Hear the bells in the static rain
Feel the pulse in the rusted vein
We are baptized by hunger’s flame
Say my name, then burn the name

[Chorus - bigger, more anthemic, layered gang shouts, crushing low end, choir soaring]
These are the sacraments of lust
Blood and chrome, and dust to dust
Take my soul, take my skin
Let the ruin pull us in
These are the sacraments of lust
Kneel in fire, break and trust
If heaven wants to watch us fall
Then we’ll stain the altar wall

[Bridge - stripped-down piano and sub drone, eerie string harmonics, whispered vocals turning into a scream]
Beneath the mask, beneath the grace
There’s a wolf inside this place
And I can hear your trembling heart
Calling out from the falling dark
If love is just a wound that sings
Then let the blade have wedding rings
We were never made to kneel
Only to become what we feel

[Breakdown - half-time stomp, brutal guitars, industrial noise bursts, chopped vocal samples, demonic choir accents]
Sacrament
Lust
Bleed it out
Trust
Sacrament
Rust
Burn it down
To dust

[Final Chorus - maximal impact, full band, cinematic strings, choir, glitching synth leads, screaming harmonies]
These are the sacraments of lust
Blood and chrome, and dust to dust
Take my soul, take my skin
Let the ruin pull us in
These are the sacraments of lust
Kneel in fire, break and trust
If heaven wants to watch us fall
Then we’ll stain the altar wall

[Outro - decaying synths, distant choir echoes, reverse reverb, fading metallic heartbeat]
Kneel beneath the neon altar
Taste the ash, the holy fire
Every prayer a sharpened whisper
Every vow a wired desire
