Verse 1
Midnight whispers on the radio line,
A voice wrapped in riddles, teeth like twine.
Ink on paper, symbols bite,
Ego dressed up as endless night.
He wants a name carved into fear,
Wants the world just to draw him near.
But truth don’t kneel to a liar’s throne,
You die twice when you’re unknown.
Pre-Chorus
Clock ticks loud in a city asleep,
Secrets buried they couldn’t keep.
You shout your myths, you beg for fame,
But history forgets your name.
Chorus
You’re a cipher in the dark, nothing more,
Empty threats scratched on a bathroom door.
You chased forever, but time won’t bend,
The silence is where your stories end.
You wanted legends, you wanted fire,
All you left was a broken wire.
Cipher in the dark — erased by dawn,
The world moves on, but you’re gone.
Verse 2
Masks don’t make a monster king,
Just fragile men who hate the sting.
You hid behind your clever lies,
But fear can see through empty eyes.
The city breathes, it heals, it grows,
Long after your shadow froze.
Victims’ names still hold the light,
Not the coward who ran from sight.
Pre-Chorus
Codes unravel, myths decay,
Truth survives what games you play.
You wanted power, wanted control,
But time exposed the hollow soul.
Chorus
You’re a cipher in the dark, nothing more,
Empty threats scratched on a bathroom door.
You chased forever, but time won’t bend,
The silence is where your stories end.
You wanted legends, you wanted fire,
All you left was a broken wire.
Cipher in the dark — erased by dawn,
The world moves on, but you’re gone.
Bridge
No crown for fear, no throne for lies,
No glory lives where innocence dies.
Your letters rot, your symbols fade,
Outlived by love you never made.
Final Chorus
You’re a cipher in the dark, history’s dust,
No truth in terror, no honor in rust.
Say your name — it hits the wall,
An echo that means nothing at all.
You wanted forever, you wanted flame,
But forever remembers the victims’ names.
Cipher in the dark — final sign,
Forgotten by the hands of time.
