Saulus in Tenebris

[Intro]
Saul, Saúl
spiritus minans
spiritus caecus
in via sanguinis
[Verse 1]
Saulus fremens, spirans minarum
corde lapideo, oculis flammantibus
scriptas leges, gladius in palma
corpus tremit, anima ridet
Vox innocentium sub pedibus tuis
lapides rubent, clamant ad caelum
"Quare persequeris?"
sed aures tuae clauduntur
[Chorus]
Saulus in tenebris
lux te persequitur
cadis in pulverem
ante Verbum cui saevisti
Saulus in tenebris
oculi succumbunt
sed cor resurgit
in igne quem oderas
[Verse 2]
In medio diei, nox descendit
fulgor ruptor, sol in abysso
"Saul, Saul, cur me persequeris?"
vox vibrat sicut gladius
Terra movetur sub ossibus fractis
ora aperta, nihil invenit
"Quis es, Domine?"
et tremor transit in lacrimam
[Chorus]
Saulus in tenebris
lux te persequitur
cadis in pulverem
ante Verbum cui saevisti
Saulus in tenebris
oculi succumbunt
sed cor resurgit
in igne quem oderas
[Bridge]
Caecus ducitur, manus in manibus
triduo mersus in silentio
aqua cadit sicut ferrum candens
vetus sanguis abluitur
Saulus moritur
Paulus surgit (resurge!)
nomen mutatur
sed cicatrices manent
[Chorus]
Saulus in tenebris
nunc lumen portat
cadis in pulverem
ut ex cinere surgas
Saulus in tenebris
vox tua proclamet
gratia superat
omnem ferrum cordis

metal, Epic death metal fused with towering cathedral choir; male vocals lead with alternating guttural growls and solemn Latin chant. Pipe organ drones under tremolo guitars and double-kick barrages; choir erupts on the refrains, stacked in stark, modal harmonies. Verses stay tight and brutal, then the chorus widens with reverb-soaked voices and tolling bells, ending on a massive, sustained choral chord., latin, death metal
