Black-Bleeding Prayer

[Verse 1]
Candles cough in this cold room
Wax tears drown the altar stone
I trace your name in the dust
Every letter cuts my thumb
Your shadow hangs from the ceiling
Like a question that never falls
All these vows
Rusted relics
Pinned like thorns in the walls
[Chorus]
My soul bleeds black for you
Thick as the graveyard rain
It stains every word I knew
Carved in the glass of my veins
If this is all I can do
Let every drop spell your name
My soul bleeds black for you
And it never
Never drains
[Verse 2]
I wear your silence like armor
But it cracks when I try to speak
All my prayers taste of iron
Every “amen” comes out weak
The mirror shows me a stranger
Eyes smoked out
Sleep-starved
Wild
I built a kingdom of coffins
And crowned your memory my child
[Chorus]
My soul bleeds black for you
Thick as the graveyard rain
It stains every word I knew
Carved in the glass of my veins
If this is all I can do
Let every drop spell your name
My soul bleeds black for you
And it never
Never drains
[Bridge]
Would you come back
If I burned down the sky? (hey)
Turned every star into ash for your eyes
I’d tear out the dawn
Just to lengthen this night
Let the sun die
So your ghost feels right
[Chorus]
My soul bleeds black for you
Thick as the graveyard rain
It stains every word I knew
Carved in the glass of my veins
If this is all I can do
Let every drop spell your name
My soul bleeds black for you
My soul bleeds black in chains
[Outro]
One last cut

Black script running
Right off the edge

Choruses rise into anguished, soaring melodies with harmonized leads and double-kick undercurrent. Thick, dropped-tuned rhythm guitars, eerie choir pads, and a mournful lead line weaving between vocal phrases. Final chorus hits hardest, then decays into a single ringing guitar and distant choral echo., soul, male vocals, gothic metal
