Elissabetha - They Wrote the Sky (Symphonic Metal Opera)

Lyrics:

Intro

Scriptum est.
Sic manet.

Verse I

They wrote the sky in borrowed ink
And called it fate, and called it law
They mapped the stars to fit the page
And sealed the rest behind a door

They said the world was finished then
Complete, contained, explained, and pure
But nothing living ever stays
Inside the lines that men secure

Verse II

The book is closed.
The truth is known.
No further step.
No shifting stone.

What moves beyond
The written word
Is threat, is sin,
Is never heard.

CHORUS

They wrote the sky to make it smaller
They drew the stars to own the light
But truth was never meant to kneel there
Truth was born to move and fight

You can seal the world in letters
You can call the lie divine
They wrote the sky to stop tomorrow
But the sky was never mine

Interlude

Verse III

They fear the crack in perfect stone
The thought that bends but does not break
A question whispered once too loud
Can tear an empire wide awake

They call it chaos when it breathes
They call it evil when it turns
But every truth they tried to cage
Comes back with teeth, comes back and burns

Verse IV

Sile.
Crede.
Manet.

We guard the past.
We name the real.
The moving world
Is not your field.

Stand in line.
Forget the rest.

CHORUS

They wrote the sky to make it smaller
They drew the stars to own the light
But truth was never meant to kneel there
Truth was born to move and fight

You can seal the world in letters
You can call the lie divine
They wrote the sky to stop tomorrow
But the sky was never mine

Bridge

Order is peace.
Movement is threat.

Movement is life.

FINAL CHORUS

They wrote the sky to make it smaller
They carved their fear in holy signs
But stone will crack and ink will fade now
When truth outgrows its design

You can curse the turning world still
You can beg the past to stay
They wrote the sky to end the future
But the sky moves anyway

Outro

It moves.

Veritas manet.

A Symphonic Metal Opera

If you walk the path of symphonic historical metal,
this album speaks your language.

IN MOTU VERITAS is a symphonic metal opera by Elissabetha,
rooted in history, philosophy, and the eternal struggle
between truth and authority.

Classical orchestration, choirs, organ,
female lead vocals and deep growls
unfold across a multi-act narrative —
from celestial observation and forbidden knowledge
to judgment, collapse, and silent aftermath.

This album is inspired by the spirit and atmosphere of Haggard:
the weight of history,
the fusion of classical and metal structures,
and music that feels like a chronicle rather than a collection of songs.

No fantasy spectacle.
No modern shortcuts.
Only stone, time, belief, and consequence.

IN MOTU VERITAS
The world moves.
Truth remains.
