"Elder Tongue" - The partner slips further, speaking in fragments of the ancient language from the book. Sometimes it’s him, sometimes it’s the entity speaking through him. Lyrics become jagged, fractured, almost fabricated and nonmeaningful speech, with translations breaking through. The horror of the creature’s age, its hunger, and its slow merging with Jack is revealed.


[Intro]
Through cracks of time, the syllables creep,
Older than stars, in shadows they sleep.
Tongues forged in ash, inscribed in stone,
I shape their forms—but lose my own.

[Verse 1]
Words unspoken split the air,
Symbols writhe, alive, laid bare.
Each syllable cuts flesh, each word carves bone,
It binds the skin, it takes my throne.
They crawl through marrow, claw through vein,
Their fire scorches, their marks remain.
I speak what lips were never made,
And stumble deeper in their shade.

[Pre-Chorus]
They crawl through me… in marrow’s wake.
They burn through me… no soul to take.
The script of void, of flame, of night,
I can’t resist—I speak its might.

[Chorus]
Elder tongue—etched in fire’s glow,
Syllables the ancients know.
Elder tongue—breath becomes their spell,
Voice of life, decree of hell.
(Elder tongue!)

[Post-Chorus]
It knows… it hears…
Through words… it nears.

[Verse 2]
Mor’thak keleth… (death-words rise),
Shadows ink the vacant skies.
Each phrase devours, each vow deceives,
Each mark inscribes what no one leaves.
Zorath’nim… I feel the bind,
Its tongue takes root inside my mind.
To speak is to yield, to break, to fall—
The host is mine, it claims it all.

[Pre-Chorus]
They crawl through me… they choke, they tear.
They burn through me… I gasp, I swear.
The letters shift, the forms deceive,
The tongue consumes—none can leave.

[Chorus (Variation)]
Elder tongue—through me it flows,
The air turns black, the barrier bows.
Elder tongue—igniting flame,
Stars collapse to voice its name.
(Elder tongue!)

[Bridge]
I fight— (Mor’thul kess! You. Cannot. Flee!)
I burn— (Khal’dru vosh! Submit to me!)
I flee— (Nal’gorath! The bonds hold tight!)
I speak— (Xel’thur nam! Its rule, its right!)

[Breakdown]
No voice left—
Only THEIRS.
No thought left—
Only prayers.
Each cry, each breath, each sound I make—
Another chain I cannot break.

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Elder tongue—I come undone,
A hymn that seals what we’ve begun.
Elder tongue—through me it thrives,
Its voice endures while mankind dies.
Elder tongue—my breath, its claim,
I end in ashes, it speaks my name!

[Outro]
The words are mine…
But never my own.
The breath is mine…
Yet shapes unknown.
Zal’gorath nim’tu valdris…
I spoke the curse—
It spoke through us.




Elder Tongue

"Codex Ubralis" - A flashback to Jack’s past. Grieving his wife and child, he finds the Codex and speaks an incantation, binding himself to the entity. What began as a desperate search for truth becomes his curse.

[Intro]
A cradle bare, a silence deep,
Where once my child was sung to sleep.
Her ring lies cold upon the floor—
Their breath is gone… forevermore.

[Verse 1]
The walls still hum with phantom cries,
I trace their loss in sleepless eyes.
The Codex waits in shadow’s hand,
Its pages breathe, its ink commands.
I shape the words, though not my own,
The tongue of ash, of fire, of stone.
One vow to see the veil torn wide,
One truth to find what fate denied.

[Pre-Chorus]
They crawl through me, in shadow's wake,
Each word a wound, each breath a stake.
The book consumes, it pulls me near—
I speak the curse… it learns to hear.

[Chorus]
Codex Umbralis—flame-bound creed,
Codex Umbralis—blood must feed.
Through grief I call, through ash I plead,
Codex Umbralis—curse decreed.

[Post-Chorus]
Zorath’nim… Mor’thak keleth…
(Death unseals, the void bereft.)

[Verse 2]
The words ignite, my tongue betrays,
Their shapes distort, the letters blaze.
I see beyond the mortal frame,
Its shadow crowned in endless flame.
Mor’thak keleth… the blood replies,
Zal’gorath nim’tu… the silence dies.
Each page a chain, each mark a vow,
It takes my breath—I don’t know how.

[Pre-Chorus (Variation)]
They crawl through me, in hallow's wake,
Each word a cut no soul can shake.
The Codex binds, the veil gives way—
I spoke the curse… and must obey.

[Chorus (Variation)]
Codex Umbralis—voice of flame,
Codex Umbralis—calls my name.
Through blood it writes, through bone it speaks,
Codex Umbralis—the vow it keeps.

[Bridge]
I search… (You cannot see!)
I beg… (You must believe!)
I burn… (Through crimson tears!)
I rise… (Through mortal fears!)

[Breakdown]
No silence—only roar!
No escape—only lore!
My tongue is split, my breath undone,
The curse is bound—the seal begun!

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Codex Umbralis—my soul undone,
Codex Umbralis—its hymn begun.
Through me it speaks, through me it lives,
Codex Umbralis—the dark it gives.

[Post-Chorus (Variation)]
Zorath’nim… (The stars ignite!)
Mor’thak keleth… (The void takes flight!)

[Extended Outro]
I see her eyes in every flame,
I hear his laugh, but not his name.
The Codex calls, my blood is sworn,
I spoke its curse… I am reborn.

Their hands reach out, but I can’t stay,
The words consume, they strip away.
The man I was now fades to dust,
The book remains, the vow is just.

The words are mine… yet not my own.
The breath is mine… but shapes unknown.
The tongue persists, beyond my form—
I spoke the curse… it claimed my storm.

[Final Hit]
MOR’THAK! ZORATH’NIM! THE SOUL IS MINE!

Codex Umbralis

"The Architect of Flesh" - This track reveals the full extent of Crowe’s curse. Through the Codex Umbralis, his body becomes more than a vessel—it is remade as a living temple for the entity. Each scar, each wound, each murder was not random but part of a grand design: the construction of a gateway through flesh itself. The lyrics shift between Crowe’s horrified awareness and the entity’s triumphant proclamation, with Abberline beginning to realize that his partner’s body has been transformed into the ritual’s foundation. The tragedy deepens: Crowe is no longer simply possessed, but restructured, his humanity overwritten into architecture for something that wants to step fully into the world.

[Intro]
[CROWE]
Through time's deep cracks, the syllables creep,
Older than stars, in shadows they sleep.
Tongues forged in ash, etched deep in stone,
I form their shapes—but not alone.

[Verse 1]
[CROWE]
My veins they ink the script unseen,
My skin’s the parchment where gods convene.
Dreams carve diagrams in red,
Ancient glyphs where blood has bled.

I thought the words could give me sight,
Instead they claimed my shape outright.
The marrow twists, the tendons bind,
A temple raised from flesh and mind.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex spoke, the lines were sown—
It carved a frame that’s not my own.

[Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh claims and binds,
My blood the blueprint, my bones the lines.
The architect of flesh, design complete,
Through me it builds what can’t be beat.

[ENTITY]
Flesh is mine… design complete…

[Post-Chorus]
[CROWE]
Carved in marrow… etched in breath…
Life remade… through living death.

[Verse 2]
[CROWE]
Its script carved deep in bone and vein,
An edifice built through sacred pain.
My heart tolls like a chapel’s bell,
My skull the doorway, my ribs the shell.

It spoke in tongues my lips betrayed,
Each vow a stone the temple laid.
I was the seeker, now I’m clay—
Shaped by hands that won’t decay.

[Pre-Chorus]
[CROWE]
I thought I searched, but I was found,
A vessel forged, a soul now bound.
The Codex claimed, the patterns pressed—
It made my body manifest.

[Chorus (Variation)]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh, no will, no choice,
My frame the altar, my throat its voice.
The architect of flesh, design fulfilled,
The door now opens, the blood is spilled.

[ENTITY]
Blood is spilled! Flesh is mine!

[Bridge]
[ABBERLINE] “What curse is this?”
[ENTITY] (Your partner’s skin)

[ABBERLINE] “He bleeds, he breaks—”
[ENTITY] (He builds, he makes.)

[ABBERLINE] “This path consumes!”
[ENTITY] (Through him I bloom!)

[ABBERLINE] “His soul, undone—”
[ENTITY] (The work begun!)

[Breakdown
[ENTITY]
Not man, not god—but what survives,
A temple built from living lives.
No silence left, no voice, no rest—
Only the Codex, carved in flesh.

[Final Chorus]
[CROWE]
The architect of flesh—I can’t resist,
Each breath a stone, each wound its fist.
The architect of flesh—design aligned,
Through me it builds, through me confined.

[ENTITY]
Through you confined… design aligned!

[Extended Outro]
[CROWE]
These hands were mine… (no longer mine…)
This breath was mine… (lost to design…)
This life was mine… (crossed the line…)
The temple stands… and I’m confined.

[ENTITY]
“Zorath’nim… Mor’thak keleth…”

Heartbeat slows, silence.


The Architect of Flesh

"The Grand Consummation" - The ritual reaches its climax. Crowe’s human side is nearly extinguished; the entity has almost full control. This is a long, brutal, and chaotic track — shifting between moments of eerie stillness (human hesitation, Mary Jane’s fear, flickers of Crowe’s sorrow) and explosions of violence (entity-driven ritual mutilation). The veil between worlds tears open. The horror is not just physical but cosmic — flesh, blood, and London itself become the altar.

[Intro]
Her song drifts softly through the glass,
A fragile flame the night will pass.
I knock, I breathe, I dare to pray—
But shadow takes my hands away.

[Verse 1]
She smiles with trust, her door unlocked,
The fog recedes, all time has stopped.
Her voice recalls the life I lost—
But hunger drowns at any cost.
The chamber dims, the air turns still,
The knife is steady, not my will.
I beg in silence, my eyes plead—
But steel obeys the ancient creed.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—betray!
This flesh—enslaved!
Each breath—a vow!
Each cut—a grave!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation written in flame,
The veil breaks open, it calls her name.
The grand consummation, blood is the key,
The door swings wide, it devours me.

[Post-Chorus]
One life—
One hymn—
One gate—
Opened by sin.

[Verse 2]
The walls bear witness to my script,
A scripture written, crimson-dipped.
Her cries are lost in ritual tones,
Her bed becomes an altar stone.
Her body torn, a map of stars,
Each wound aligned to breach the scar.
The veil recoils, the sky bends low,
The night explodes—reality folds.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—unbound!
This voice—not mine!
Each mark—divine!
Each rite—aligns!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation through flesh and flame,
The hymns of silence cry out her name.
The grand consummation born of despair,
The shadow walks, it claims the air.

[Bridge]
I fight—(You cannot win!)
I beg—(The rite begins!)
I weep—(Her blood will sing!)
I break—(The darkness reigns!)

[Breakdown]
Unseal! The stars ignite!
Unseal! The void takes flight!
Unseal! Her voice is gone!
Unseal! The world undone!

[Final Chorus]
The grand consummation—my soul undone,
The veil lies broken, the gate is spun.
The grand consummation—her breath my crime,
The ancient god consumes through time.

[Extended Outro]
I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... — ETERNAL WOE! 
Lux mortis... — LIGHT OF DEATH! (light of death)
Domine Umbra... 
LORD OF SHADOW!!!

I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... (eternal woe)
Lux mortis... (light of death)
Domine Umbra... (lord of shadow)

LORD OF SHADOW!!!

The Grand Consummation

"Veil Undone" - The veil between worlds is finally torn open. London reels as blood and fire ignite the ritual’s true purpose, and Abberline faces the terrible truth—his partner Elias Crowe is no longer himself but the vessel of an ancient god. The Codex Umbralis comes alive in Crowe’s hands, its incantations twisting the air as the entity takes full control. Abberline struggles to resist the overwhelming tide, but each moment reveals how little of the man remains. The city breaks, the stars converge, and the shadow demands its due. This is the reckoning: one man consumed, one world imperiled, as the Lord of Shadow steps through the breach.

[Intro]
The veil is torn and London screams,
The fog ignites with fractured dreams.
Through her blood the breach is made,
The stars align—the debt is paid.

[Verse 1]
I walk through smoke as streets collapse,
The walls drip red, all time unwinds.
My partner's eyes are no longer his,
Some ancient god behind disguise.
The Codex burns within his hand,
Each page alive with ash and brand.
I call his name—he does not hear,
Only the shadow answers near.

[Pre-Chorus]
This flesh divides!
This voice betrays!
One man undone!
One god remains!

[Chorus]
The veil undone, her song erased,
The stars converge, the void takes space.
The veil undone, its will revealed,
The final truth the fog concealed.

[Post-Chorus]
Crowe is gone…
The god remains…
Through his breath…
It speaks my name…

[Verse 2]
Her cries have paved the path I tread,
Through living flesh, the world I wed.
This form is dust, yet still I reign,
Through Crowe's despair, I stake my claim.
You hunt the man—but he is none,
The hour strikes—the night begun.

[Pre-Chorus]
I stand! (You kneel!)
I fight! (You yield!)
I vow! (You fall!)
I burn! (My thrall!)

[Bridge]
I won’t relent, I’ll break this chain!
Through every soul, I rise again.
Your reign will fall, your night will fade!
Your life the toll, the debt is paid!

[Breakdown]
The veil undone—
The world unmade.
The Codex is alive—
The flesh decays.
The hunt is done—
The host is mine.
I reign through blood—
Beyond all time!

[Chorus]
The veil undone, her soul denied,
The city breaks, the stars collide.
The veil undone, I see the cost,
One man consumed, one world is lost.

[Outro]
Crowe… forgive me.

You… are… mine…

[Extended Outro]

“Tenebris aeternum…” — ETERNAL DARKNESS!
“Nihil! Vocem meam!” — NOTHING! MY VOICE!
“Corpus fractum…” — BROKEN BODY....
 “Anima mea!” — MY SOUL!
“Domine Umbra… Domine Umbra…” — LORD OF SHADOW

Mor’thul kess! (You. Cannot. Flee!)
Khal’dru vosh! (Submit to me!)
Nal’gorath! (The bonds hold tight!)
Xel’thur nam! (My rule, my right!)

Zal’gorath nim’tu valdris… 

“ZORATH’NIM!!!” (Feel the bind)
Mor’thak keleth… 

[Chorus (Final)]
The veil undone, her soul denied,
The city breaks, the stars collide.
The veil undone, I see the cost,
One man consumed, one world is lost.

LORD OF SHADOW

Veil Undone

"Echoes in the Fog" - The climax of Abberline’s journey. Guided by Crowe’s final ciphered messages, Abberline discovers the ritual to sever the entity’s grip: the vessel must die, and another must bear the curse. In a derelict church drowned in fog, Abberline faces Crowe, who flickers between monstrous host and pleading friend. With the pendant shielding him, Abberline drives the ritual blade home, granting Crowe release while binding the Codex’s curse into himself. As Crowe whispers his final thanks, the veil shudders and closes, but whispers still linger in the fog. Abberline, marked and forever changed, steps into the night as both detective and vessel—the hunter and the haunted.


[Intro]
The veil hangs torn, the city bleeds,
The Codex whispers ancient creeds.
A voice of man, a god disguised—
The final truth revealed to my eyes.

[Lyrical Intro]
The cipher led, the path was shown,
Through blood and ash, through flesh and bone.
One vow remains, the blade must fall,
To break the chain, to end it all.

[Verse 1]
I found his words in walls of stone,
Each line inscribed, yet not his own.
A faded photo, shadows weep,
His family’s secrets buried deep.
The pendant glows, the knife is near,
The fog resounds with what I fear.
His eyes reveal a fractured soul,
A man undone, no longer whole.

[Chorus – soaring cleans with gothic choir]
Echoes in the fog—his voice remains,
A soul in torment, bound by chains.
Echoes in the fog—his plea, his name,
I end the rite, I bear the flame.

[Interlude
So bind the flesh, so break the seal,
The Codex burns, the wound won’t heal.
So mark the skin, so call the night,
The host must fall to end the rite.

[Verse 2]
“Do it!—free me now,
The god has claimed what I allow.
These hands are not my own to guide,
The shadow waits, it will not hide.
Strike deep, my friend, the stars converge,
The knife the key, the blood the surge.
The fog will howl, the Codex feed—
Through me it reigns, through me it bleeds.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold the blade, my hand will shake.
(You must strike true—for both our sakes.)
The veil resists, the Codex cries—
(This is the end—its grip denies!)

[Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—the bond I sever,
One man redeemed, one cursed forever.
Echoes in the fog—the soul is freed,
The god recoils, yet clings to me.

[Bridge]
Zorath’nim! (unbind the chain!)
Mor’thak keleth! (death-words remain!)
Corpus fractum! (the flesh must die!)
Anima mea! (the soul will rise!)

[Breakdown]
Strike! The gate resounds!
Fall! The host unbound!
Burn! The Codex sears!
Bind! I bear its fears!

[Final Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—his voice departs,
The night still binds, it grips my heart.
Echoes in the fog—her blood, his plea,
One soul set free, one curse on me.

[Extended Outro]
“Thank you, Frederick…”
“Forgive me, friend…”
The pendant burns, the Codex brands,
Its scripture carved into my hands.

The fog recedes but not for long,
Its whispers weave an endless song.
I step alone, the night my shroud,
A vessel born, the curse a vowed.

Tenebris aeternum… (eternal dark)
Domine Umbra… (lord of shadow)
Anima fracta… (broken soul)
VINCIT UMBRA! (THE SHADOW WINS!)

[Outro]
I walk these streets where silence weeps,
I am the vessel the Codex keeps.
Echoes in the fog—they call, they bind…
I hunt the dark… yet it is mine.

Ahhhh... ahhhh... ahhhhhh...
Ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhhhh...
Mmmmm... mmmmm... mmmmmmm...

Echoes in the Fog

The Butcher's Promise - Echoing the aftermath of Veil Undone, Abberline buries Crowe with his family, finding closure but inheriting the Codex’s curse. Though the amulet grants him control over the entity, it is no cure—only a fragile shield. Haunted by whispers, he spends his days searching for a way to end the curse and free himself, knowing time is against him. The track closes the album on a mournful, unresolved note: not with triumph, but with the weight of a promise that can never truly be broken.


[Intro]
The grave is filled, the soil is laid,
A man at rest, his debt now paid.
Beside his wife, his child he lies,
Their names beneath unbroken skies.

[Verse 1]
I watched the dawn through tear-stained glass,
The fog still clings, the shadows mass.
I laid his hand upon her stone,
But felt the chill was not my own.
Three souls now rest in sacred ground,
While I remain, forever bound.

I’ve burned the book, I’ve cast it deep,
To river’s mouth, to fire’s sweep.
Yet still it waits, returned each night,
A curse that binds, a whispered blight.

[Pre-Chorus]
The Codex calls… it will not rest.
It brands its seal upon my chest.
The amulet shields but never frees,
A fragile ward against dark seas.

[Chorus]
The Butcher’s promise, carved in flame,
A vow that lingers, blood its claim.
The Butcher’s promise, bound in skin,
The fog remains — it waits within.

[Verse 2]
I search for ways to break its hold,
Through ancient scripts, through truths untold.
The amulet steadies trembling hands,
But time will bow to its demands.

I see his eyes in every pane,
I hear his voice within my name.
The grave is filled, the soul set free,
But now the Codex stares through me.

[Pre-Chorus]
The Codex calls… its pages breathe.
Its whispers crawl, they will not leave.
The amulet glows, the fog abates,
But shadows wait at all my gates.

[Chorus]
The Butcher’s promise, carved in flame,
A vow that lingers, blood its claim.
The Butcher’s promise, bound in skin,
The fog remains — it waits within.

[Bridge]
“Mor’thak keleth… (Death-words rise!)
Zorath’nim… (Unseal the skies!)
Domine Umbra… (Lord of night!)
Corpus fractum… (Flesh as rite!)”

[Extended Outro]
I close the book… yet still it stays,
The amulet shields, but for how many days?
Each night I feel its power wane,
Each dawn brings closer endless pain.
I search, I bleed, I seek the cure,
But know this shield will not endure.
The Butcher’s promise… lingers still.

Their graves lie peaceful in the sun,
While I must face what can’t be undone.
The amulet dims with passing time,
This borrowed life no longer mine.
I search for hope in every line,
The Butcher’s promise… always mine.

[Outro Chorus]
The Butcher’s curse remains, though graves are still,
The amulet dims, it bends my will.
The Butcher’s curse remains, though hope has fled,
I walk alive, yet live as dead.

The Butcher’s Promise

"The door of my night is closing."

Old Hamlet lies in the orchard. The afternoon is quiet. The serpent approaches.

This is the sound of a dynasty collapsing from the inside out—a "Divine Injury" rendered in audio. Fusing the weight of Late Romantic symphonic opera with the grit of industrial doom, this movement captures the exact moment the hebenon enters the blood. The poison isn't just a liquid; it is a frequency. It files the bones with hasty industry.

As the King fades, the sunrise becomes a deadline, and the silence of the garden is broken by the noise of Hell waiting to claim its prize.

The Ghost: A tectonic Basso Profondo (Oktavist range) delivering the recitative with the weary resonance of the grave.

The Intruder: A manic Alto Soprano (The Devil/The Madness) mocking the King’s final moments.

The Chorus: A Monastic Male Choir providing a Gregorian harmonic foundation, chanting the Liturgy of the Dead (Dies Irae) against the encroaching industrial decay.
