[Intro]
Ave... requiem...
[Verse 1]
We walked the garden where the shadows grew,
before the sky had bled its final blue.
You held the apple, whispering my name,
and swore the bitter dark was not to blame.
A sweet devotion carved in poisoned stone,
we built an altar where we stand alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every whisper feels like falling rain,
a gentle resurrection born of pain.
[Chorus]
He is the harvest of the fading light,
he is the shadow creeping through the night.
If the Bible tells us we must fall,
then let us answer to his gentle call.
Oh, let the scripture burn into the fire,
we bow before the master of desire.
[Verse 2]
The holy pages turn to ash and dust,
in his embrace is where we place our trust.
No heavenly kingdom claims a heart so true,
he paints the morning in a darker hue.
We share the poison from a silver cup,
and watch the rising darkness swallow up.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every whisper feels like falling rain,
a gentle resurrection born of pain.
[Chorus]
He is the harvest of the fading light,
he is the shadow creeping through the night.
If the Bible tells us we must fall,
then let us answer to his gentle call.
Oh, let the scripture burn into the fire,
we bow before the master of desire.
[Bridge]
(Acoustic melody building into a soaring, heavy rhythm)
Can you hear the choir singing from below?
It’s the only truth we’ll ever need to know.
We give our souls to keep the flame alive,
so the fallen angel in our hearts can thrive.
[Chorus]
He is the harvest of the fading light,
he is the shadow creeping through the night.
If the Bible tells us we must fall,
then let us answer to his gentle call.
Oh, let the scripture burn into the fire,
we bow before the master of desire.
[Outro]
He is...
Forever near.
The dark is here.
(Amen).
