Unholy Matron Of Death
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - distant cinematic drones, corrupted choir swells, metallic echoes, glitch static]
In the black beneath the altar light
I hear your breath in the wires at night
A crown of rust, a veil of bone
The Matron waits where the dead have grown
[Verse 1 - low industrial pulse, filtered guitars, whispered female vocals, cold strings creeping in]
She walks on a floor of shattered names
Through cathedrals burned by sacred flames
Her hands are ice, her eyes are graves
She feeds on the fear the faithful gave
Every prayer turns to ash in her mouth
Every vow gets dragged down south
In the static hymn, in the iron rain
She carves her mercy into pain
[Pre-Chorus - tension rising, distorted synth arps, layered gang vocals, strings swelling]
Hear the chain, hear the scream
From the seam between the dream
She is the omen, she is the end
Where all your broken gods descend
[Chorus - massive nu metal удар, heavy guitars, pounding drums, sinister choir, anthemic gang vocals]
Unholy Matron of Death
Take my soul in your final breath
Blackened mother, crown of thorns
Born from dusk where the grave wind moans
Unholy Matron of Death
You own the last of my beating chest
When the night comes down to claim
I will kneel and speak your name
[Verse 2 - glitchy percussion, downtuned riffs, dark synth bass, eerie whispered doubles]
She threads her plague through the veil of skin
And the machines begin to grin
Screens flicker red in a funeral code
As the world collapses under load
Her procession moves in broken time
Through the fault lines of a dying mind
No heaven left, no light to keep
Just the rusted mouths of the buried deep
[Pre-Chorus - bigger, more urgent, choir harmonies, toms and risers]
Hear the chain, hear the scream
From the seam between the dream
She is the omen, she is the end
Where all your broken gods descend
[Chorus - full-force repeat, harsher screams, thicker strings, massive low end]
Unholy Matron of Death
Take my soul in your final breath
Blackened mother, crown of thorns
Born from dusk where the grave wind moans
Unholy Matron of Death
You own the last of my beating chest
When the night comes down to claim
I will kneel and speak your name
[Bridge - stripped-down piano and sub bass, ghostly choir, half-time drums, vulnerable clean vocal]
And if I fall into your hollow hand
Will I fade, or will I understand?
Every ending wore your face
Every wound was a sacred place
Now the silence opens wide
And I hear you from the other side
[Breakdown - syncopated industrial chugs, glitch edits, screamed vocals, choir stabs]
MATRON—
BLOOD IN THE STATIC
MATRON—
THRONE OF THE PANIC
MATRON—
MOTHER OF RUIN
MATRON—
THE DEAD ARE MOVING
[Final Chorus - key lifted, colossal drums, layered choir, soaring distorted vocals]
Unholy Matron of Death
Take my soul in your final breath
Blackened mother, crown of thorns
Born from dusk where the grave wind moans
Unholy Matron of Death
You own the last of my beating chest
When the night comes down to claim
I will kneel and speak your name
[Outro - decaying strings, reversed choir, fading glitch noise, distant whispered vocals]
Speak your name...
In the ash...
In the dark...
Matron...
Of death...
