Venom at Midnight

[Verse 1]
Dead of night
Teeth in the dark again
Hear my name
In every shadowed grin
Poison tongue
Hissing that I’ll never change
But I’m wide awake
And I’m done being prey
[Chorus]
I’ve got venom in my veins
But it’s burning for the light
Every monster that I made
I drag screaming into sight
I’m not running from the grave I dug inside my mind
I’ve got venom in my veins
And I’m turning it to fire tonight (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Jaw locked tight
Breath tastes like rust and rage
Ghosts I fed
Pace inside their cage
They want blood
They want me to kneel again
So I tear the bars
Let them face the flame
[Chorus]
I’ve got venom in my veins
But it’s burning for the light
Every monster that I made
I drag screaming into sight
I’m not running from the grave I dug inside my mind
I’ve got venom in my veins
And I’m turning it to fire tonight (hey)
[Bridge]
You are not my king
You are just my scar
Every lie you sing
Fades under the stars
I am not your host
I revoke your throne
You can haunt these bones
But they’re mine
They’re mine alone (woah)
[Chorus]
I’ve got venom in my veins
But it’s burning for the light
Every monster that I made
I drag screaming into sight
I’m not running from the grave I dug inside my mind
I’ve got venom in my veins
And I’m turning it to fire tonight
Yeah
I’ve got venom in my veins
And I’m walking through the dark to find the light

metal, Modern metal with male vocals; low-tuned chugging guitars and sharp harmonics, double-kick bursts under the verses. Chorus widens with soaring melodic top line and gang vocals on key words. Verses stay tight and tense, bridge drops to half-time with ambient feedback and a growled build, then final chorus hits higher and longer with layered screams and harmonies., light
