Intro
Distant thunder, crimson sky
Vatican shadows catch the eye
Sacred vows now hang by threads
As word spreads that the Pope is dead
Verse 1
The Sistine Chapel shrouded in black
Saint Peter's Square, masses track
A lifetime of devotion ends tonight
As the holy father fades from sight
The Vatican guards stand solemn and still
As darkness creeps upon God's hill
Pre-Chorus
Who will lead them through the dark?
Who will bear the sacred mark?
Power, glory, faith and sin
The sacred battle will begin
Chorus
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As power shifts in Rome today
Post-Chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)[Chorus]
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As power shifts in Rome today
Post-Chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)
Verse 2
Cardinals gather in sacred halls
Ancient whispers echo through the walls
Secret ballots, smoke signals rise
A new beginning before their eyes
Pre-Chorus
Who will lead them through the dark?
Who will bear the sacred mark?
Power, glory, faith and sin
The sacred battle will begin
Chorus
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As power shifts in Rome today
Post-Chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)[Verse 3]
Behind closed doors, the plots unfold
Ancient prophecies foretold
Corruption hides in sacred guise
As smoke and mirrors blind their eyes
The truth of Rome lies underground
Where pagan bones and secrets found
Bridge
The Vatican's dark corridors
Hide mysteries beyond all laws
What knowledge sleeps within those walls?
What power answers when it calls?
Chorus
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As power shifts in Rome today
Outro
A new Pope rises from the flames
The game continues, just the names
The wheel of power turns once more
As history repeats its score
The Pope is dead, long live[Chorus]
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As power shifts in Rome today
Post-Chorus
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(Ashes to ashes, dust to dust)
Final Chorus
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty[Final Chorus]
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful weep, the masses pray
As Rome transforms another day
The cycle turns, unholy cost
As truth and faith forever lost
The Pope is dead, long live the lie
The Vatican's eternal cry
Epic Outro
Ancient demons walk the halls
As holy water drips from walls
The cross turns upside down unseen
While cardinals praise their new machine
The masses blind to what's become
The darkened heart of Christendom
The truth remains for those who know
The seeds of darkness Rome did sow
Last Chorus
The Pope is dead, the bells now toll
A hollow throne, an empty soul
The faithful pray on bended knee
Unaware of what they cannot see
The Pope is dead, the game goes on
From dusk until unholy dawn
The Pope is dead, yet Rome survives
The eternal city never dies
End
