Ashen Advocacy

My lords, the judges will show mercy

I have no accomplices

These crimes are not my crimes (heretic)

We both know why I have been brought to trial

And we both know why I have been found guilty

Devil, witch, heretic

Ignore him

Heretic

Call me vain and proud

The greatest sinner ever to walk on God's earth

But Satan's boy I could never be

I haven't the humility

I know what I have sown

I am prepared for what I shall reap

But do you, Reverend Mother, know what you must give

To have your wish about me fulfilled? (Heretic)

I will tell you

Your immortal soul to eternal damnation

May God have mercy on you

Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te

I am the judge, I am the sin

The tribunal of truth cast in flame

Accuser and accused, we are one and the same

The same

Victorious flesh, cast down in ash

A godless wretch, feel the lash

I give you leave to burn with me

Skirmish of light, crucified progeny

Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te

Condemn you to burn with me

A sovereign flame, a verdict set

In the fire, our souls are met

From worm to glory, from glory to sand

Ashen advocacy, I take my stand

Flesh turned to stone, blood runs dry

We rise in flames, the old god dies

From chasm and void, we strike the hour

Beneath the ashes, we regain our power

Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te

Through fire, we're forged anew

The judgment cast, we burn as one

In final blaze, our reign begun

Accuser, accused, none to escape

I am the judge, the bringer of fate

From worm to glory, from glory to sand

Ashen advocacy, I take my stand

Ashen winds blow through the pyre

We burn as one, we are the fire

Condemn me to blaze, and I shall ascend

From dust to dust, the cycle will end
