Sacred Echoes

Lyrics

[Intro - Latin Chant]
Sanctus in silentium
Voces antiquorum
Memoria aeterna
In his sacris muris
[Verse 1]
Brother Thomas, I remember when you taught me how to sing
Through these hallways, ancient psalms would make the stone walls ring
Now I walk alone and guard these sacred melodies
Kyrie eleison, cantus angelorum
Sancta traditio, tempus fugit morum
Miserere mei, ultima lux forum
[Chorus]
When silence claims these sacred halls
Your voice still guides my way
Through empty chambers, duty calls
The last notes I must play
[Verse 2]
Morning bells still mark the hours as they always did
But no brothers rise to pray, no voices lift their bid
Just my footsteps echo where a hundred once did tread
Dona nobis pacem, in memoriam
Cantate Domino, per perpetuam
Requiem aeternam, sanctuarium
[Bridge - Call and Response]
They say our time has passed (Tempus transit)
These stones will crumble fast (Petra cadit)
But while I breathe at last (Spiritus manet)
Our songs will ever last (Cantus vivit)
[Verse 3 - Spoken Word/Rap with Chant Undertones]
Stone by stone and prayer by prayer, centuries compiled
Every brother's voice entombed in manuscripts filed
I guard their legacy, though modern times prevail
Through empty corridors their spirits still unveil
The truth that echoes here, beyond the veil of years
Ancient wisdom perseveres through joy and tears
[Final Chorus]
When silence claims these sacred halls
Your voice still guides my way
Through empty chambers, duty calls
The final notes I play
(The final notes I play)
(The final notes... fade away)
