Intro

Cathedral Orchestra

The stars do not discern the saint from the warlord below

They burn the same — indifferent — cold

The throne and the altar were carved from the same stone

And the hands that built them have long since turned to ash

Verse 1

A crown forged in the ruin of the righteous

Worn by the one who swore to end the fight

The shepherd walks the same path as the wolf

Both trailing blood — both certain they are right

I have watched empires collapse into scripture

I have seen the hand of mercy hold the knife

The god and the conqueror share the same altar

One soul's salvation is another soul's sacrifice

Chorus

There is no light at the end — there is only the war

Every flag ever raised was soaked in what it stood for

Good and evil are the wound — not the weapon — not the cure

Immortal rage — it does not die — it endures

Guitar Solo

Verse 2

The void does

not answer — it opens

It swallows the martyr beside the tyrant whole

The descent has no floor — only deeper surrender

Only the sound of the righteous losing hold

We are the war that was never meant to end

The wound kept open so the wound could be controlled

Every savior needs the thing that he condemns

Every monster grows from the fear the faithful sold

Chorus

There is no light at the end — there is only the war

Every flag ever raised was soaked in what it stood for

Good and evil are the wound — not the weapon — not the cure

Immortal rage — it does not die — it endures

Instrumental

Bridge

The cosmos witnessed every verdict cast in certainty

And burned no brighter for the justified

The soul releases — not to heaven, not to ruin —

But into the same dark that swallowed every side

Two hands — one reaching up — one pressing down

The same conviction — the same desperate need

The crown does not distinguish who deserves it

It only asks — how far will you bleed

They teach their children who deserves forgiveness

And who must pay for crimes before their birth

Each calls revenge the settling of a balance

And leaves the next to prove what peace is worth

Guitar Solo

Outro

There

was never a winner standing in the silence after

Only the wreckage of what each side destroyed

The rage does not resolve — it calcifies — it authors

The next war from the rubble of the last one left void

And the stars still burn

Indifferent

Cold
