Shadows on the Altar"
(Dalam gaya Justin Bieber: pop dengan sentuhan R&B, synth gelap, dan emosi mendalam)[Verse 1]
In the night with no stars, I hear you callin’,
Candles drip slow, on the stone they’re fallin’,
Your shadow moves on these broken walls,
Singing sins that never fade at all.
(Dinyanyikan dengan nada lembut, sedikit bergetar, membangun intensitas)[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, a voice from the deep keeps pullin’ me near,
Cold hands reach out, I’m drownin’ in fear,
What do you want? My soul or my veins?
I’m caught in your dark, can’t break these chains.
(Nada naik, falsetto ringan di "chains")[Chorus]
At the dark altar, I give it all away,
Flames rise high, burnin’ up the day,
Shadows on the altar, you’re my fallen king,
In the night, it’s your name I sing.
(Chorus penuh tenaga, dengan harmoni vokal khas Bieber dan beat synth yang kuat)[Verse 2]
Cracked mirror shows me your empty stare,
Eyes so hollow, but I feel you there,
Iron chains pull me step by step,
To your song, where my secrets are kept.
(Nada rendah, intim, lalu naik di "kept")[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the wind smells of fire, it’s callin’ my name,
You dance on the ashes, I’m lost in your game,
What do you need? My heart or my end?
I’m fallin’ deeper, can’t pretend.
(Falsetto di "pretend", emosi mentah)[Chorus]
At the dark altar, I give it all away,
Flames rise high, burnin’ up the day,
Shadows on the altar, you’re my fallen king,
In the night, it’s your name I sing.
(Ad-lib khas Bieber seperti "oh-oh-oh" di latar)[Bridge]
Bells ring out, tearing through the sky,
Night swallows all, I’m sayin’ goodbye,
You laugh in the dust, I’m down on my knees,
Lost in your void, you’re all I see.
(Bagian ini slow, penuh perasaan, lalu meledak ke chorus)[Chorus]
At the dark altar, I give it all away,
Flames rise high, burnin’ up the day,
Shadows on the altar, you’re my fallen king,
In the night, it’s your name I sing.[Outro]
Shadows on the altar, your whisper won’t fade,
In this dark, I’m yours, I’m yours to take…
(Nada lembut, falsetto panjang di "take", perlahan memudar)
