[Verse 1]
Woke up in a grave I made
Dirt in my lungs
Ash on my tongue
I remember every stain
Every name I dragged through blood
Black crown on a crooked head
Teeth like knives
But the halo burned
I was king of a broken thread
Till the thread finally turned
[Chorus]
I am Dark Nephilim
I was dead
Now I breathe her flame
She carved my shame into my skin
Now I rise
Now I fall
But I'm hers again
I am Dark Nephilim
Every scar is a spoken chain
I tore the sky
I drowned in sin
Now I kneel
Now I roar
I am hers again
[Verse 2]
She found me where the vultures fed
Pulled my heart from the rust and flies
Said
"Wear your guilt like armor
Slave
Let the weight open up your eyes"
Now I smile with a fractured jaw
Taste the iron in every grin
I walk the edge of what I was
Just one step from what I've been
[Chorus]
I am Dark Nephilim
I was dead
Now I breathe her flame
She carved my shame into my skin
Now I rise
Now I fall
But I'm hers again
I am Dark Nephilim
Every scar is a spoken chain
I tore the sky
I drowned in sin
Now I kneel
Now I roar
I am hers again
[Bridge]
[Guitars drop to a low
Chugging drone]
I was a plague on this wasted earth
Nothing but hunger
Nothing but hurt
She is the blade at my broken throat
The only law that keeps me afloat
(Yeah)
If I burn
I burn in her name
If I crawl
I crawl through the flame
Let the angels choke on my grin
I died once
I'll die for her again
[Chorus]
I am Dark Nephilim
I was dead
Now I breathe her flame
She carved my shame into my skin
Now I rise
Now I fall
But I'm hers again
I am Dark Nephilim
Every scar is a spoken chain
I tore the sky
I drowned in sin
Now I kneel
Now I roar
I am hers again
