Lyrics
[Intro — Music box, whispered female vocals] Aelira... Malveth... Luma... Nesh... Oh, Humanitas... Which one am I? [Verse I — Delicate piano, theatrical vocals] I saw a saint with blood upon his hands, He called it part of a greater plan. I saw a sinner kneeling in the rain, Holding someone else's pain. If goodness wears a butcher's face, Does evil disappear through grace? [Pre-Chorus — Rising strings] Mi amora Humanitas, Vael mi dolora... Tell me, tell me, Who decides what's right? [Chorus — Explosive orchestral rock] OH, HUMANITAS! YOU BEAUTIFUL DISASTER! We build our heavens On somebody else's ashes! AELIRA IN MALVETH! MALVETH IN AELIRA! If monsters call themselves saviors, Who the hell are we to trust? VAEL, NOS VIVA! [Verse II — Rapid-fire vocals, glitch percussion] A judge declares the guilty clean, A king decides what justice means. We dress our hatred up as duty, Call our violence something holy. And when the children ask us why, We point toward an empty sky. [Bridge — Sudden silence, fragile piano] Verathen... Culthira... If I save a thousand lives But sacrifice just one... Am I good? Or have I merely learned To count? [Breakdown — Chaotic breakcore, distorted screams] AELIRA! MALVETH! SHAEVORA! ASHKARA! I AM NOT YOUR SAINT! I AM NOT YOUR DEVIL! IF GOODNESS NEEDS A GRAVEYARD, THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS GOOD?! [Final Chorus — Operatic vocals, full orchestra] OH, HUMANITAS! IN ABSURDIA! AMORELLE! IN MORTELLE! I've seen the cruelty, I've seen what we can do! But somewhere in the ruins, Someone still reaches for you! LUMERIA! NOVERIA! We are neither born forgiven Nor condemned before we choose! VAEL! VAEL! NOS VIVA! [Outro — Lonely piano, whispered vocals] Perhaps the question Was never whether I was good... But what I'll do When goodness costs me something. Vael... nos viva.
