Lux Æterna

[Verse 1]
Wretched soul in chains I fall,
Screaming in the silent hall.
Voices echo through my mind,
Ghosts of sins I left behind.
Though my sins are like scarlet,
They shall be white as snow.
Buried deep, the weight I bore,
Knocking at redemption's door.
Mercy breaks but never bends—
My grave begins where grace extends.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I looked into the pit and saw myself.
Then I looked up… and saw Him.
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
Whom shall I fear?
---
[Chorus]
Lux Æterna, shine on me!
Cut through shadows I can't see.
From the depths I cry Your name,
Through the fire, I rise in flame!
The light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness cannot overcome it.
---
[Verse 2]
My hands are blood, my heart is stone,
Still You call me as Your own.
I will remove your heart of stone,
And give you a heart of flesh.
Not by might, and not by sword,
But by the Spirit of the Lord.
No chains remain, no veil can hold,
The soul You bought is bought in gold.
Even in my final breath,
I find Your life inside my death.
We were buried with Him in death—
That we might rise to walk in life.

[Interlude – Latin Chant]
Domine, libera nos a tenebris
Respice in cor meum
Et ignem tuam accende
Peccavi, miserere mei
Ignosce mihi, Pater
Fiat voluntas tua
Et nox fugiet
---
[Bridge]
I walk the line where death still feeds,
But light breaks through the rot and weeds.
You, Lord, keep my lamp burning,
My God turns my darkness to light.
No sin too black, no pit too wide,
He’s walked them all and stands inside.
---
[Breakdown]
Tear out the heart of stone!
Raise me from dust and bone!
Light in my shattered frame—
Breathe out Your holy name!
---
[Latin Build]
Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Funde lumen cordibus
Inflamma cor meum
Ad lucem tuam
---
[Final Chorus]
Lux Æterna, now I see—
You were always chasing me.
Through the silence, through the pain,
I am not lost—I bear Your name!
If anyone is in Christ,
He is a new creation—
The old is gone, the new has come.
---
[Outro – Latin Chant]
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Et lux tua non deficiet
In aeternum, amen
