[Intro]
(Ominous ambience, low choir hum)

[Verse]
The ancient pact, now torn asunder
A sacred vow, met with thunder
Innocence bled, a crimson stain
Betrayal’s seed, sown in the rain
Whispers of doubt, a serpent’s hiss
Corrupting truth, a venomous kiss
The hallowed ground, begins to crack
No turning back, no turning back

[Pre-Chorus]
The gilded gates, now rusted shut
The holy fire, turned to smut
Our faith undone, a hollow shell
Dragged down to hell

[Chorus]
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Echoes of our righteous fall!
Smoke and ruin, stone and dust!
Consumed by fire, broken trust!
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Hear the final, desperate call!
Our sanctuary, a pyre of dread!
Where all that we believed is dead!

[Verse]
The sacred texts, in flames they writhe
Forgotten gods, no longer thrive
The righteous path, now overgrown
Upon a throne of shattered bone
Each stolen relic, a piece of soul
Beyond control, beyond control
The solemn chants, a dying plea
For all to see, for all to see

[Pre-Chorus]
The stained-glass light, now dark and grim
A chilling wind, upon the brim
Our hope undone, a fractured dream
A silent scream

[Chorus]
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Echoes of our righteous fall!
Smoke and ruin, stone and dust!
Consumed by fire, broken trust!
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Hear the final, desperate call!
Our sanctuary, a pyre of dread!
Where all that we believed is dead!

[Instrumental Break]
(Dissonant strings, building choir intensity, heavy rhythmic tension, pounding percussion)

[Bridge]
They swore to guard, they swore to keep
While darkness grew, and secrets sleep
But greed and power, claimed their prize
Reflected in their hollow eyes
What was once pure, now stained and scarred
Our world is marred

[Verse]
The very stones cry out in pain
Washed by a never-ending rain
Of what we were, and what we’ve lost
At such a cost, at such a cost
The sacred symbols, now defiled
Forever exiled, forever exiled
This monument of broken vows
Beneath the boughs, beneath the boughs

[Chorus]
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Echoes of our righteous fall!
Smoke and ruin, stone and dust!
Consumed by fire, broken trust!
Ashes of the Sacred Hall!
Hear the final, desperate call!
Our sanctuary, a pyre of dread!
Where all that we believed is dead!

[Outro]
(Choir fades with haunting dissonance, final orchestral hit, silence)
