Vermin and Virtue

Intro

Cinders in the marrow writhe in shadowborn night

Heathen tongues summon storms, void-born and prime

Ravens circle ruin where innocence perished

Monoliths crumble beneath cursed inherit

Verse 1

Blight in the cradle, chaos in silence

Infant of ruin, harbinger undivined

Fractured reflection in obsidian water

Swallowed by entropy, kin of disaster

Pre-Chorus

No dawn remains where horror is planted

Under a crust of iron and regret

Chorus

Child of cataclysm rises from ashes

Veins filled with cold, all memory extinguished

World torn asunder, silence disrupted

Vermin and virtue now endlessly ruptured

Post-Chorus

Ashes descend

Shadows command

Verse 2

Claws etch futures carved in the granite

Fire-fed hunger devouring fate

Breath of an empire dissolving in rapture

Teeth of abyss contorting the state

Pre-Chorus

No dawn remains where horror is planted

Under a crust of iron and regret

Chorus

Child of cataclysm rises from ashes

Veins filled with cold, all memory extinguished

World torn asunder, silence disrupted

Vermin and virtue now endlessly ruptured

Post-Chorus

Ashes descend

Shadows command

Bridge

Torment entwines in ligaments sacrificed

Scars of the ages converge in the dust

Bathing in venom, the progeny rises

Crownless and sacred, desecrating rust

Chorus

Child of cataclysm, thrall to the fracture

Summoned by chaos where angels were cast

Pariahs awaken in funeral laughter

Infinite spiral consuming the past

Post-Chorus

Silence betrayed

Darkness obeyed

Outro

From marrowless silence, the legacy festers

Pillars forsaken, collapse evermore

Spectres are wailing through crystalline embers

Child of cataclysm—reborn in war

Post-Chorus

Ashes remain

Blood in the rain

Outro Riff

Infernal seed

Crowned in the end
