Title: The Altar and the Ember

Style: Dark | Gothic | Doom Rock.

Slow, heavy, atmospheric.

Vocals: Very low male (bass-baritone), intimate but threatening. NOT operatic.

Mood: Predatory, possessive, vengeful. Cold, ancient anger.

(Intro: Low drone, wind, slow heartbeat drums, distant bell)

(Choir - Latin, ritualistic)

Lux ferre... Umbra regit... Draco dormit...

(Verse 1 - Intimate, dangerous purr)

They placed you on the stone, a flower so white.

Your tiny hands like frightened doves.

Not for their pathetic creed,

But for the spark in you.

(Verse 2 - Deepens, ancient power stirring)

Fools. They cast their gem upon these floors.

The sacrifice is not the one who bleeds,
