[Verse 1]
Crushed in the cradle of a dead star
Every promise pulled apart
I was only pressure and silence
Pinned like a nail in the dark
Name made of gravity
Halo of falling sparks
I learned how to suffer in secret
Folding a wound into art
[Chorus]
I was born from a black hole breaking
Diamond in the jaw of night
Tore through the tear in the fabric
Became a being of light
I’m the fire that the first dawn carries
Burning through the ancient sky
If they call me Lucifer
Let them
I’m the reason shadows die
[Verse 2]
Spat from the mouth of the collapse
Riding on a newborn wave
Atoms like angelic choirs
Singing a world into shape
Every horizon behind me
Nothing but ash and glare
I held all the weight of forever
Then let it go into air
[Chorus]
I was born from a black hole breaking
Diamond in the jaw of night
Tore through the tear in the fabric
Became a being of light
I’m the fire that the first dawn carries
Burning through the ancient sky
If they call me Lucifer
Let them
I’m the reason shadows die
[Bridge]
I am the echo in the background
Humming in the frozen deep
I am the flare in the first thought
Waking what was meant to sleep
Cast as the rival of heaven
Blamed for the fall and the flight
But I was only the question
That taught the cosmos to rise
[Chorus]
I was born from a black hole breaking
Diamond in the jaw of night
Tore through the tear in the fabric
Became a being of light
I’m the fire that the first dawn carries
Burning through the ancient sky
If they call me Lucifer
Let them
I’m the reason shadows die
