Shadows of Sanctity

by Vinny ILL

/

lyrics

In the hallowed halls where angels weep,
Beneath the spires where secrets keep,
The church's whispers echo loud,
A sacred veil, a shrouded shroud.

In the hallowed halls where angels weep,
Beneath the spires where secrets keep,
The church's whispers echo loud,
A sacred veil, a shrouded shroud. A shrouded shroud

Oh, shadows of sanctity, stained by the sacred,
In the heart of the abbey, where trust was betrayed.
A hymn tainted by the sins of the cloth,
A psalm for the victims, the unheard and the lost.
Beneath the arches of stained glass saints

Beneath the arches of stained glass saints
Where penance is sought but virtue faints

A shepherd's crook turned to twisted cane
The shepherd's trust, a cloak of shame

Oh, shadows of sanctity, cloaked in despair,

The choir's lament, a dirge for the oppressed
A requiem sung for the innocence repressed

Forgiveness sought in a confessional dark
The martyrs' tears leave a permanent mark

In the cloistered chambers, where sins entwine
A reckoning echoes through the sacred shrine

The abbey walls, witnesses to sin
Where the cloth conceals the devil within
A cardinal's robes, tarnished and torn
Innocence lost, forever mourned
Innocence lost, forever mourned



Oh, shadows of sanctity, the truth must be told
In the silence broken, the redemption unfolds
A melody for justice, a refrain for the brave
A melody for justice, a refrain for the brave

In the face of darkness, a chance a chance to save to save


In the ruins of trust, a phoenix may rise
From the ashes of sorrow, under somber skies

For in the hymn of healing, the broken find voice

A symphony of redemption, where victims rejoice
A symphony of redemption, where victims rejoice
where victims rejoice
