[Verse 1]
Born in the black, got a cold new name
Step in the gloom, make the whole room cave
Hands in the smoke, I can pull that shade
Turn my fear to a throne, let it forge my blade
Eyes in the dark, I don’t need the sun
Every little hit that they throw, I won
I move through the night like a severed spark
One look from me and the whole world marks
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hush, when I rise
Black mist crawls in my eyes
If you run, I’m already there
One step in the dark, and I’m everywhere
[Chorus]
Shadow monarch
Rise in the dark
Shadow monarch
I leave my mark
Step by step
Through the black I go
Shadow monarch
You already know
[Verse 2]
I take your doubt and I dress it in smoke
Flip that chain of the weak to a vow I spoke
Barely a breath and the floor gets cold
I make a grave of the lies they told
Crowns in the dust, but mine don’t crack
I call the lost and they all come back
I got a storm in my chest, locked tight
When I lift that veil, it’s a black-out night
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hush, when I rise
Black mist crawls in my eyes
If you run, I’m already there
One step in the dark, and I’m everywhere
[Chorus]
Shadow monarch
Rise in the dark
Shadow monarch
I leave my mark
Step by step
Through the black I go
Shadow monarch
You already know
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
I was made for the night
Made to bend that fear
When I call from the deep
Every wall disappears
No chain on me
No name in flame
I wear the void
And I feed that flame
[Final Chorus]
Shadow monarch
Rise in the dark
Shadow monarch
I leave my mark
Step by step
Through the black I go
Shadow monarch
You already know
Shadow monarch
Shadow monarch
I leave my mark
Shadow monarch
You already know
