[Intro]
Whispers in the plaster
Dust in painted halls
Names carved into stonework
Red writing on the walls (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Ink-stained hands
Hiding in the library glow
Ghost of an old boy’s laughter
Frozen in a photo that won’t grow
Shadows crawl
Past portraits holding their breath
Every staircase keeps a secret
Every corridor smells like death
[Chorus]
Hear that hiss in the dark, it’s calling
From the pipes and the bones, I’m falling
Down, down, down to the Chamber of Secrets
Say my name in the tongue of a serpent
Let the stone teeth crack and open
Down, down, down to the Chamber of Secrets
[Verse 2]
Blood on the cat’s stiff fur
Letters screaming “traitor” and “shame”
Broken wand in the back row
Still I’m standing, still I stay
Voices drip
Through the sinks and the rust
Hearts turn hard as marble
Fear tastes like iron and dust
[Chorus]
Hear that hiss in the dark, it’s calling
From the pipes and the bones, I’m falling
Down, down, down to the Chamber of Secrets
Say my name in the tongue of a serpent
Let the stone teeth crack and open
Down, down, down to the Chamber of Secrets
[Bridge]
Face to face
With a boy made of ink and lies
Pages burn
But his smile never dies (never dies)
Fangs and mirrors
Scar and shield
I was marked for this
I will not yield (hey!)
[Chorus]
Hear that hiss in the dark, I’m calling
From the cracks in the fear, I’m crawling
Up, up, up from the Chamber of Secrets
Write my story in the blood of the broken
Turn that curse to a vow unspoken
Up, up, up from the Chamber of Secrets
