Dies Irae

Ooh, Dies Irae!
Ooh, Dies Irae!
Ooh, Dies Irae!

I held my breath
For far too long
They wrote my script
But wrote it wrong

They crossed my name
In sacred ink
I learned to float
But I don’t sink

I bit my tongue
And swallowed steel
I wear the truth
You tried to seal

I was the shadow, I was the storm
The breath you feared behind the form
I moved like thunder, cold and clear
You never saw me – but I was here

I was the shadow, I was the storm
The breath you feared behind the form
I moved like thunder, cold and clear
You never saw me – but I was here

You fed me lies
Like holy law
But all your shame
Became my claw

I wore your rules
Like second skin
But every edge
Was forged within

I was the shadow, I was the storm
The breath you feared behind the form
I moved like thunder, cold and clear
You never saw me – but I was here

I was the shadow, I was the storm
The breath you feared behind the form
I moved like thunder, cold and clear
You never saw me – but I was here

Oh! Tolle me in sacram mortem
