[Intro]
[Low tolling bell
Guitars fade in slow]
The sky hangs low
Like stone on bone
Ash on the wind
Breath tastes like cold iron
[Verse 1]
Steps in the dark
Every footfall
Heavier
As if the earth
Wants me buried where I stand
Voices in chains
Drag their names across my ribs
Calling me down
Calling me down again
[Chorus]
Under the weight of endless night
I wear this crown of rust and ice
If there is dawn beyond this void
Then let it find me scarred
Destroyed
Under the weight of endless night
I raise my hands but nothing shines
If there is peace in loss of light
Then let me fall
Let me fall
Through endless night
[Verse 2]
Stare at the stars
They look like broken holes in skin
Bleeding the dark
Into a world already dim
I hear the hymn
Of every dream I couldn’t save
Low like a drum
Pounding the walls of my grave
[Chorus]
Under the weight of endless night
I wear this crown of rust and ice
If there is dawn beyond this void
Then let it find me scarred
Destroyed
Under the weight of endless night
I raise my hands but nothing shines
If there is peace in loss of light
Then let me fall
Let me fall
Through endless night
[Bridge]
[Tempo slows
Growls answer distant clean choir]
Sink
To the bottom of the black
Where the names I lost
Claw their letters in my back
Drink
Every echo
Every curse
Till the marrow turns to glass
And my veins reverse
[Cavernous growls]
No sky
No flame
Only the grinding of my name
In teeth of stone
I’m not alone
[Final Chorus]
Under the weight of endless night
I hear a ragged
Distant cry
Buried beneath the funeral dirge
A broken vow that will not die
Under the weight of endless night
I lift my voice against the tide
If there is hope in one last fight
Then let it rise
Let it rise
Through endless night
