[Intro]
Low tide in the void
Your name on the ash-soaked wind
I claw through the cold
Through the cold
For a face I can’t remember
[Verse 1]
He speaks in the shape of your shadow
Soft tongue
But his teeth shine red
Says
“Child
Let me cradle your sorrow”
While he crowns me in rust and dread
Every tear I drop
He’s smiling
Catching each one in his claw
Says
“Cry
Little night
Keep crying”
And my heartbeat’s all I saw
[Chorus]
I’m the daughter of the dark you feared
Silver blood
Stained halo
Shattered mirror
Nyx is more than just a name you curse
I was born a blessing and a hex
Reversed
You made my grief your favorite art
But I’ll rip your symbol from my heart
I’m the daughter of the dark you crowned
Watch your empire burn down
Down
Down
[Verse 2]
He shows me a throne made of ribcage
Says
“Sit
This was always your fate”
I see your face trapped in the stone veins
Hear you begging me
“Don’t be late”
“Everything you lost was my offer”
He confesses with a casual sigh
“I broke your world to build my daughter”
And my scream splits open the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
You wore my pain like jewelry
Hung it round your neck so proud
You thought I’d break so beautifully
Now feel my silence getting loud
[Chorus]
I’m the daughter of the dark you feared
Silver blood
Stained halo
Shattered mirror
Nyx is more than just a name you curse
I was born a blessing and a hex
Reversed
You made my grief your favorite art
But I’ll rip your symbol from my heart
I’m the daughter of the dark you crowned
Watch your empire burn down
Down
Down
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You called me “child”
But you forged this rage
Bled my past in a poisoned cage
[growled vocals]
Father of famine
Feasting on loss
Vulture on a blackened cross
You carved your sigil in my skin
I tear it out
I tear it in
[crescendo]
Chain by chain
I break your name
Bone by bone
I steal your throne
[guttural screams]
I AM NOT YOUR OFFERING
I AM NOT YOUR GOD
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
[whispered vocals]
I’m the daughter of the dark you feared
[Chorus]
