What Have we Done?
The alternative rock anthem launches with an urgent, polyrhythmic guitar riff, driving gritty bass, and hard-hitting, full-kit drums. Verses pulse with electrocharged energy as feminine and bold duet vocals intertwine over tense strings, airy brass hits, and dark industrial textures. The cinematic chorus bursts wide with soaring, layered vocals atop surging pop rock beats, dense electric guitars, and a sweeping, symphonic backdrop, amplifying the drama and emotional intensity.

Lyrics
Title: "What Have We Done?"
(Verse 1 - English)
In the shadow of the steeples, where the angels once did cry
We've drawn lines in the sand with the blood of those we deify
Our hearts were once pure, our souls were once one
But now we stand divided, with our guns and our guns alone
(Chorus - Latin)
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Perimus in tenebris, quae lucem non cognoscut
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
(Verse 2 - English)
The echoes of the prayers, now lost in the cries of war
We've forgotten the love, that we swore to restore
We marched under the banners of gods we claim to know
But in the heat of battle, it's ourselves we've overthrown
(Verse 3 - English)
The children of the earth, they weep and they mourn
For the fathers and brothers, never to be reborn
And the mothers, their hearts breaking in silent despair
For the sons they've lost in the holy lair
(Chorus - Latin)
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Perimus in tenebris, quae lucem non cognoscut
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
(Bridge - English)
Tell me, what is this power, that makes us so blind?
To fight for a name, to leave our kin behind?
Can we find our way back to the light of the dawn?
Before the final battle, before we're all gone
(Verse 4 - English)
The ruins of our faith, scattered on the ground
Where once stood churches, now only death is found
Our hymns have turned to screams, our prayers to dust
In the name of salvation, we've turned to rust
(Chorus - Latin)
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Perimus in tenebris, quae lucem non cognoscut
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
(Outro - English)
What have we done, in this holy quest of ours?
But to destroy the beauty, that once did endure?
The world is weeping, for the loss of its peace
We've become the monsters, we once set to release
(End Chorus - Latin)
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti
Perimus in tenebris, quae lucem non cognoscut
Sancta bella, quid fecimus?
(Outro - English)
Oh, what have we done?
