SUNVEIL - White Sails, Black Prayers | Symphonic Metal

Описание: “White Sails, Black Prayers” is an intense symphonic extreme metal track that dives into the violent clash between faith, conquest, and hypocrisy. From the very first second, the song erupts with relentless blast beats, crushing grooves, and massive orchestration, leaving no space for softness or false salvation.

The lyrics portray the arrival of foreign beliefs carried by white sails, disguising domination and greed as mercy and light. Sacred words fall like ashes, temples burn, and the land remembers what imposed faith tries to erase. It is a dark reflection on invasion, spiritual violence, and the price paid by ancient civilizations.

Blending brutal metal instrumentation with operatic female vocals and cinematic symphonic layers, this track is designed to be powerful, aggressive, and immersive from start to finish — pure headbanging energy wrapped in historical tragedy.

Lyrics:

Ah…
Ah-nael…

White sails cut the edge of dawn
Floating crosses made of flame
They speak of light and mercy
But their shadows taste of gold

The sea turns silent
The birds flee the sky
Foreign prayers touch the ground
And the earth recoils

White sails
Black prayers
Hands of faith
Dripping steel

They kneel with holy words
While fire sleeps beneath their skin
Blessings fall like ashes
On temples carved in breath and bone

The wind carries unfamiliar gods
Wrapped in velvet and command
They promise heaven
While digging graves

White sails
Black prayers
Salvation burns
In sacred tongues

Ah…
Ix… Chel…

The sun still watches
But it does not answer
Stone remembers
What faith denies
