"NULLA LUX, NULLA FIDES" (NO LIGHT, NO FAITH)

Lyrics Verse 1 Down in the dust where the crosses rot, I met her eyes—black flames, red-hot She said, “Ain’t no heaven, never was” Just broken hymns and rusted laws "Et amor est peccatum meum" (And love is my sin) We kissed in the church where the prayers don’t swim With blood on the altar and sin on our breath We made a vow in the arms of death [Chorus – Growled, with chanting Latin] Nulla lux, nulla fides — no light, no faith Cor meum tuum est — my heart is yours to waste Non est Deus, nec caelum super nos — There’s no god, no heaven above us Et si mundus ardebit, ridebo tecum (And if the world burns, I’ll laugh with you) In this hell we built, love is true So raise your horns, my crimson bride Let the angels choke on the tears they hide [Verse 2 – Twangy banjo + whisper growl] She wears a crown made of serpent bones And tattoos Latin on my stone "In tenebris, te inveniam" (In darkness, I will find you) We rode through ash, through brimstone skies No stars above, just Lucifer’s eyes She said, "Let heaven burn if we stay warm" And held me tight through God’s last storm [Chorus – Mixed scream/sing] Nulla lux, nulla fides — no light, no grace Et daemonium regit locum meum — the demon rules my place We don’t need wings or halos torn Just love and fire and being reborn Non fuit Deus. Non erit unquam. (There was no god. There never will be.) Only us in this infernal sea Your kiss is blasphemy, sweet and wide— But I'd burn the world to keep you by my side [Final Chorus – Whispered then screamed] "Te amo… etiam in damnatione." Cor meum tuum est… No god to curse, no soul to save We loved beneath the unmarked grave So dance with me through smoke and tar— My fallen queen, my Morningstar In sin we live, in fire we trust No heaven waits—just us and dust [Female whisper] Sic erimus unum per fumum et cinerem, usque ad portas caeli percutiemus.
