[Verse 1]
I walk through the gate with a split-knuckle grin
Black mud on my boots, let the riot begin
Their eyes are coals in the smoke-thick dusk
Teeth like knives and a hunger for rust
I drag my name through a broken-down chapel
Chains on my wrists but I still dismantle
One slash, two flash, red on the wall
I came for the crown, I came for it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that howl in the marrow
That’s the night getting narrow
Heaven’s far
Hell is here
I do not kneel
I do not fear
[Chorus]
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
I carve my way through the smoke and the spit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
Say my name loud when the demons hit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
No soft breath left when the body drifts
[Verse 2]
They crawl out the walls with a choir of knives
I swing through the swarm just to stay alive
Fretless moan under thunderous feet
Bow drawn low like a curse in retreat
Their claws on my throat, their laughter like glass
I break every mouth that tries to hold me back
Ash on my tongue, iron in my skin
If I fall tonight, I fall grinning
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that howl in the marrow
That’s the night getting narrow
Heaven’s far
Hell is here
I do not kneel
I do not fear
[Chorus]
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
I carve my way through the smoke and the spit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
Say my name loud when the demons hit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
No soft breath left when the body drifts
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Bone-deep tremor, the floor comes apart
I wear their screams like a brand on my heart
No saint, no savior, just hunger and grit
I was made for the blade and the blood in the rift
[Final Chorus]
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
I carve my way through the smoke and the spit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
Say my name loud when the demons hit
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
No soft breath left when the body drifts
Blood in the rift
Blood in the rift
I leave a scar where the demons sit
