Rex Damnatorum
Into the night I crawl alone
Cathedrals burn inside my bones
Your final breath still stains my hands
A broken vow, eternally damned
Blackened roses crown your grave
I kissed the cross — too late to pray
The earth rejects your holy name
And I am born of endless pain
In noctem aeternam…
Amor meus mortuus est…
(Into the eternal night...
My love is dead....)
When heaven closed its golden gates
I learned my face was forged of hate
Into the night — I rise again
Under the Blood Moon, crowned in sin
Hellfire burns within my veins
I am the dark that bears your name
I am the Lord of Shadows, sworn
King of the Damned, reborn in scorn
Let this world choke on sacred lies
For our eternal pain
Your ghost still weeps in crimson rain
Each heartbeat screams your name in vain
The sun denied me one last kiss
So I devoured what light remained
They named me curse, they named me beast
But love was my first blasphemy
Now from your tomb my vengeance starts
A requiem of sundered hearts
Sanguis lunae, Ignis Inferni
Amor factus est venenum
(Blood of the moon, Fires of Hell
Love has become poison)
No god remains to bar my way
When grief itself has learned to pray
Into the night — I rise again
Under the Blood Moon, crowned in sin
Hellfire writes my sacred pain
Across the flesh of holy men
I am the Lord of Shadows, bound
To every grave, to cursed ground
This world will kneel, this world will drown
In our eternal pain
[Bridge]
Rex damnatorum sum ego
Ex sanguine coronatus
Dominus umbrarum factus sum
Donec mundus corruat
(I am the king of the damned
Crowned in blood
I have become the lord of shadows
Until the world falls)
Into the night — eternal throne
Blood Moon ascends, I reign alone
Hellfire crowns my shadowed name
I rule in grief, I rule in shame
I am the Lord of Shadows, crowned
King of the Damned — unchained, unbound
Let creation rot in flame
And remember our eternal pain
In noctem… in aeternum…
Amor et mors unum sunt…
(Into the night... into eternity...
Love and death are one..)
