[Verse 1]
Bare feet
On a sky of glass
Stars cling
To her tangled hair
Black wind
Carrying his name
Through a thousand
Silent prayers
Pale thrones
In a chapel of ash
Thick dust
On forgotten saints
She walks
Where the moon won’t shine
Trading mercy
For her faith
[Pre-Chorus]
How many hearts
Does eternity take?
How many gods
Will she have to wake?
[Chorus]
Nyx signs the midnight pact
Ink made of starlight and grief
Whispers
“Argus
Take my soul
Give my lover back to me”
Tears burn the veil in half
Worlds split along that line
“I will burn the dawn itself
If I can hold him
One more time”
[Verse 2]
Argus
On a throne of veins
Eyes like
Cathedrals of bone
Sharp smile
Cutting through the dark
Every promise
Set in stone
“Goddess
You can bend all time
Freeze suns
In their careless spin
But life
Is a hungry tide
And it only
Rushes in
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me your nights
Every shadow you own
Let every dream
Be my hunting ground”
[Chorus]
Nyx signs the midnight pact
Ink made of starlight and grief
Whispers
“Argus
Take my soul
Give my lover back to me”
Tears burn the veil in half
Worlds split along that line
“I will burn the dawn itself
If I can hold him
One more time”
[Bridge]
[Breakdown hits; low growls answer the lead vocal]
Blood on the constellations (hey!)
Names carved into the dark
She breaks her crown
To buy his breath
Lets his heartbeat
Buy her heart
He rises
Eyes full of sleep
New pulse
Under ruined skin
She fades
Like a falling star
Smiling as
He breathes again (oh)
[Chorus]
Nyx signed the midnight pact
Ink made of starlight and grief
Argus smiles
The heavens shake
Still she’d do it willingly
Tears cut a path through space
Love draws a fatal line
“I will burn the dawn itself
If I can hold you
One last time”
