[Intro]
[Verse]
Flames ignite the sacred spires
Crimson tears on ancient stone
Holy halls consumed by pyres
A judgment we have always known
Windows weep a molten gold
Stories painted, now untold
Black smoke chokes the hallowed air
A final, desperate prayer

[Pre-Chorus]
The bells that chimed for ages past
Now toll a dirge, a shadow cast
This gilded lie begins to crack
There is no turning, no going back

[Chorus]
Sanctus, Sanctus, Ignis Aethel
Ashes fall like silent snow
Where the righteous seeds were sown
Below the dust, the truth will grow
Through the inferno, we must go

[Verse]
Blackened arches start to groan
Sacred vestments turn to grey
Every idol overthrown
As the final light decays
Marble cracks beneath the heat
Echoes of a grand defeat
The nave a furnace, fierce and vast
Memories fading, unsurpassed

[Pre-Chorus]
The stained glass melts in fiery streams
Shattering all our waking dreams
This hollow faith, a fragile shell
Crumbles in this fiery hell

[Chorus]
Sanctus, Sanctus, Ignis Aethel
Ashes fall like silent snow
Where the righteous seeds were sown
Below the dust, the truth will grow
Through the inferno, we must go

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Then from the depths, a rumbling sound
As buried gates begin to yield
Where ancient secrets can be found
Truth's pure essence is revealed
No longer bound by mortal sin
A revelation from within

[Chorus]
Sanctus, Sanctus, Ignis Aethel
Ashes fall like silent snow
Where the righteous seeds were sown
Below the dust, the truth will grow
Through the inferno, we must go

[Outro]
