CANTICLE I // NOCTURNE
The Choir of the Gallows-Crow
"Beneath the fracture of a bleeding moon,
Where rusted chains swing slow against the gale,
The black-winged sentinels repeat their tune
And stitch the midnight into crimson veil."
CANTICLE II // SANGUIS
Vow of the Shuttered Sepulchre
"Carve deep my name in obsidian and bone,
Behind the seal where mortal footsteps cease;
A monarch seated on a thorny throne,
Who traded heaven for the abyssal peace."
CANTICLE III // UMBRA
Litany of the Winged Halo
"Upon the circle where the night-bats rest,
With folded leathern wings and eyes of coal,
They guard the sigil branded on the chest—
The silent wardens of a sleepless soul."
CANTICLE IV // FINIS
Benediction of the Last Eclipse
"For beauty dwells within the broken spire,
And truth is spoken only by the grave;
Bow to the shadow, feed the undying fire—
There is no mercy that the wicked crave."
