Armed with this knowledge, and within the hallowed halls of St. Sybil's Refuge where the curse wreaks more and more damage, Father Thomas begins to overcome his fear. He stands as a beacon of light within the encroaching darkness. Although still deeply afraid, he knows he must make a stand against the evil that plagues Lilith and threatens all within the Refuge. He is resolved to do what needs to be done, no matter the cost to himself.
[Verse 1]
Cold crypts creak, dark dread seeps deep,
Grim ghouls glide, grim secrets keep.
Bones break, bruise - fresh fears unfold,
Doom's dirge drones, dank and cold.
[Chorus 1]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Verse 2]
Lilith's lament lulls low and long,
Guilt gnaws, groans - grief's grim song.
Gorgon's grip, a gruesome blight,
Drains dull dregs from deadest night.
[Chorus 2]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Verse 3]
Comrades cower, crushed by curse,
Lilith, lone, locked in worse.
Silence stings, sharp sorrows sear,
Her heart's hum hushed by fear.
[Chorus 3]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Verse 4]
Thomas, time-torn, tainted still,
Finds fierce fire, forges will.
Coward's cry crawls through his core,
Yet valor's voice roars ever more.
[Chorus 4]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Verse 5]
Terror's tongue tears twilight's veil,
Gorgon's glory makes hope pale.
He'll battle bold till breaking dawn,
To shatter shackles, strength reborn.
[Chorus 5]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Bridge]
Students slump, souls slowly fade,
Fear-filled faces, foes invade.
Minds mired deep in madness' maw,
Where kindness kneels to cruelty's claw.
[Verse 6]
Kneeling now by death's dark door,
Life leaks fast on stone-cold floor.
Gorgon's grudge grinds, grievous, grim,
But Thomas' tough heart won't grow dim.
[Chorus 7]
Snap's shrill shriek! Wounds rend the air,
Rattle's roar! The curse lays bare.
[Outro]
Hope's hushed hymn haunts hellish night,
Valor's voice vows victory's light.
Hero's hard path, perilous, steep,
His dauntless heart dares darkness deep.
