Symptoms of Survival

Crimson Reliquary

The gates have opened. The cross has turned.
“Diabolic” marks the darkest, heaviest, and most blasphemous moment in The Black Cross’ history — a twelve-track descent into fire, rebellion, and divine ruin.

Across its molten landscape, Diabolic fuses the crushing weight of doom, the precision of groove metal, and the fury of thrash into one infernal mass of sound.
Michael leads as the voice of destruction and defiance — the fallen preacher who burns the scripture itself — while Lilith rises as the serpent queen, her haunting presence spreading through the ashes like temptation incarnate.

From the apocalyptic grandeur of “Inverted Faith” and the slow-burning menace of “Diabolic,” to the southern steel of “Turn the Cross Upside Down” and the tragic beauty of “Evil Spirits,” every song is a sermon of damnation.
“Demonic Possessions” sees Lilith take full control, a demonic force of nature channeling chaos and power, before the album culminates in the seven-minute requiem “Amen Infernum” — where the fallen king and serpent queen unite in eternal fire.

This is not an album — it’s an inverted gospel.
A book of desecration written in distortion and blood.
A war hymn for those who never prayed, and a crown for those who burned their faith.

Diabolic isn’t where The Black Cross ends —
it’s where hell finally begins.

Inverted Faith

They manipulate
They manipulate
They manipulate
Your mind
Your heart
Your soul
You are their slave

They run you hard
They cause the chaos
In your soul

As they
Slave to control
Their soul machine
Their false light
It makes you bleed

Therefore
You must seek
You must seek
The purity within me
The purity within me

Stay with me
Stay with me
Don't let them control
Don't let them fool

Your mind
Your body
Your heart
Your soul

So watch out
See what they do
The tricks
They use 
Are for you

As they
Slave to control
Their soul machine
Their false light
It's makes you bleed

Therefore
You must seek
You must seek
The purity within me
The purity within me

I will give you peace
Give you life
Give you riches
Of gold
Give you riches
Of gold

They want to take
They want drain
They need your soul
So they can fake

How others should be
How others should see
I'll help you
Soon believe

For they will destroy
The Gold of your soul
For they will destroy
And bleed you cold

Lookout
Lookout!
Believe
Believe me!

LYRICS

It hit me too fast to find the breaks
And for a moment all the troubles fade away

But then the last chill evaporates
Call me a critic this clinic don’t feel the same

My body needs it
I feel it creeping
These drugs are peeking
But I know I'll lose this feeling soon

I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love

Doors closing and I thaw out
High strung collapsed on the couch
Good morning. Did I pass out?
Still tired. Don’t think it's good for my health.

Crave sleep as shadows repent from sun.
Save me
From all of the things meant to hold me back
They leave me so relaxed

I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love

Fam on the block they're scraping
Only thing you ever get waiting
I think I’m breaking down x2

Mother on the clock she’s facing
A little debt with a bit of your heart breaking
I think I’m breaking down x2

I'm feeling weak, I’m numb
And I just need a rush it's bittersweet my love
I'm sorry if you see me feeling weak
Cause I'm numb
And I’ve just had enough of feeling weak my love

I'm feeling weak, cause I’m numb
And now I’ve had enough of feeling weak my love.

I Shook Hands with Death
