"Ashen Advocacy" lyrics

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 in 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 die
From chasm and void, we strike the hour
Beneath the ashes, we regain our power

Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te
Through fire, we are forged anew
The judgment cast, we burn as one
In the 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

Accuser, accused, none to escape
I am the judge and the bringer of fate
Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te
Through fire, we are forged anew

The die is cast, we burn as one
In the final blaze, we burn
From worm to glory, from glory to sand
Ashen advocacy, I take my stand

Sordes Te, Egregia Sordes Te
Through fire, we burn with thee

I take my stand!
