Storyline

As the manifestation of the curse looms, it becomes clear that it can only be stopped by the ultimate sacrifice - Thomas must either sacrifice himself or Lilith for the curse to break. Lilith, seeing that Thomas is putting his life on the line to protect her, attempts to save him. In this final confrontation, each decides to put the other first, despite knowing they will die. They press on, not free of fear, but in a last stand, a final rite of personal sacrifice. The chapel fills with black and rancid smoke - when it clears, who will be left standing: Lilith? Thomas? Or Selena (the real face of the gorgon)?

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ghostly gloom, where ghouls grin grim,

Thomas treads through tendrils dim.

Gargoyles glower, glassy-eyed,

Moonbeams mock the mortified.


[Chorus 1]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Verse 2]

Wailing winds whisper woe,

Childish chuckles, chilling flow.

Thomas totters, trust threadbare,

Doubt's dank daggers, dark despair.


[Chorus 2]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Verse 3]

Lilith, luminous, long-lost light,

Longing loosens spectral spite.

Bound by baleful, brooding bind,

Saving souls, spirits entwined.


[Chorus 3]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Verse 4]

Lilith lingers, lone and lorn,

Crushed by curses, crypt-forlorn.

Mirrored mayhem, masks merge murk,

Gorgon's gaze, where grim ghosts lurk.


[Chorus 4]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Bridge]

Crypts' cold corridors creep clear,

Thomas thrums through, thawed from fear.

Mirrors moan, murmurs mount,

Ghostly groans, a gruesome fount.


[Chorus 5]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Verse 5]

Lilith's leer, a looking-glass,

Curse-cast shadows swiftly pass.

Venom vivifies vile veins,

Tarnished, tainted, torturous pains.


[Chorus 6]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.


[Outro]

Dagger's dance, a deathly dirge,

Thomas, trembling, tempts the surge.

Lilith's life ebbs, light now dim,

Both fall, fated, freedom's hymn.

Curse now crushed by courage's cost,

Two lives given, many saved, not lost.


[Final Chorus]

Unholy bonds and holy light,

Clash in this eternal night.
