[Intro – Distorted wind, low rumble]
Something’s wrong.
(The sound of a heartbeat speeding up)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Immediate tension]
Sky’s too quiet — no birds cry,
Red sun hanging but it won’t rise,
Light feels thin like it’s disguised,
Like something’s wearing it.
Flame in my chest won’t settle still,
Burns too sharp — not the same will,
Every breath tastes metallic chill,
Like iron in the air.
I’ve fought wars under blood-red skies,
Seen kingdoms fall, watched brothers die,
But this — this feels like a lie —
Like the sun’s pretending.
Shadows stretch where they shouldn’t reach,
Ground hums low beneath my feet,
The flame inside me starts to speak —
Not in words.
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Heavy]
The red sun flickers in the sky,
Pulse like something about to die,
If this is fate then tell me why —
It feels rewritten.
I’ve carried ash, I’ve carried flame,
I’ve buried every single name,
But something’s calling me by name —
From the dark.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Escalation]
Clouds spiral in unnatural form,
Wind cuts sharp like silent storm,
The sun glitches — torn and worn —
Splits for a second.
I see it there — another sphere,
Black as void but burning near,
For one heartbeat crystal clear —
Then gone.
My flame reacts — it flares in rage,
Not fear, not doubt — something caged,
Like another version trapped in place —
And reaching.
Reality cracks along the seam,
Light distorts in broken beams,
I hear a voice inside the scream —
“Come.”
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Bigger, more unstable]
The red sun flickers harder now,
Sky bending, breaking, bowing down,
If something’s bleeding through somehow —
I’ll face it.
Not demon, god or prophecy,
Not ghost of who I used to be,
But something wearing part of me —
I feel it.
⸻
[Bridge – Aggressive metal tension]
(Guitars slam in)
IF YOU’RE ME —
STEP INTO THE LIGHT.
IF YOU’RE SHADOW —
SHOW YOUR FACE.
I’VE FOUGHT MYSELF BEFORE —
BUT NOT LIKE THIS.
(Scream)
OPEN THE SKY.
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Final, explosive]
The red sun shatters overhead,
Black eclipse where light once bled,
If this is where the path has led —
Then take me.
Flame ignites through fractured air,
Void responds from somewhere there,
Two suns burning in one glare —
And I fall.
⸻
[Outro – Transition]
Silence.
No warmth.
No dawn.
The sky above me…
Is black.
