[Verse 1]
Candles cough black smoke
Names I will not speak
Chalk line
Rust-red cloak
Shivers in my teeth
Old books
Burned-out eyes
Pages cut my tongue
Every quiet lie
Tastes like iron lungs
[Chorus]
I am the shadow in the mirror of your fear
Every oath you whispered still hangs heavy in my ears
You called for a monster
I grew in your veins
Now I rise
Now I rise
And I answer to your pain
[Verse 2]
Cold floor
Bare feet
Still
Air bends
Walls lean in
Clock hands start to spill
Time peels off my skin
Low hum
Dead phone sings
Storm crawls through the wires
See my crooked wings
Glow like broken fires (yeah)
[Chorus]
I am the shadow in the mirror of your fear
Every oath you whispered still hangs heavy in my ears
You called for a monster
I grew in your veins
Now I rise
Now I rise
And I answer to your pain
[Bridge]
You don’t need a throne
To feel the world shake
Just breathe my name slow
With every rib ache
You are not alone
When the dark pulls near
It bends
It breaks
It kneels right here (kneel right here)
[Chorus]
I am the shadow in the mirror of your fear
Every oath you whispered still hangs heavy in my ears
You called for a monster
I grew in your veins
Now I rise
Now I rise
And I answer to your pain
