NovaSymph - Sanctum of Shadows (Official Lyric Video) | Epic Symphonic Metal

"Sanctum of Shadows" is a gothic symphonic metal anthem of darkness, power, and rebirth. Set in a haunted cathedral garden where light refuses to go, this track witnesses the transformation from pain into divine strength.

This song is a journey through darkness into empowerment. Shot in ethereal moonlight among Gothic ruins and ancient statues, the visualizer explores themes of reclaiming power, finding freedom in the shadows, and the sacred space where brokenness becomes strength.

Recommended for fans of: Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, and cinematic orchestral metal.

LYRICS:
"SANCTUM OF SHADOWS"

In the sanctum where the darkness breathes
Where the moonlight cuts through frozen leaves
Stone angels weep with sightless eyes
Guardian of a thousand lies
I built this altar out of pain
Every prayer a silver chain
The vaulted ceiling holds my screams
Cathedral of my broken dreams

Welcome to my sanctum of shadows
Where the light refuses to go
In this temple of ice and sorrow
I'm the queen of all I've let go
Sanctum of shadows, cold and divine
These ruined walls are yours and mine
In the darkness, I finally see
The ghost you made of me

Stained glass shattered on the floor
You can't hurt me anymore
Every thorn that pierced my soul
Now protects what you once stole
Candles flicker, shadows dance
This is my final séance
Summoning the strength I lost
Winter knows the price I've cost

Welcome to my sanctum of shadows
Where the light refuses to go
In this temple of ice and sorrow
I'm the queen of all I've let go
Sanctum of shadows, cold and divine
These ruined walls are yours and mine
In the darkness, I finally see
The ghost you made of me

In this holy place of ruin
I find peace in my undoing
Stone by stone, I'll rebuild higher
From the ashes of your fire

You thought darkness was my prison
But I've made it my religion
In these shadows, I am free
This sanctum bleeds divinity

Welcome to my sanctum of shadows
Where the light will never go
In this temple of ice and power
I am reborn in midnight's hour
Sanctum of shadows, cold and divine
This sacred darkness now is mine
In the ruins, I decree
You have no hold on me

The sanctum stands in silent snow
Only shadows here will know
What was lost...
What remains...
In my sanctum...
Free of chains...
