[Intro]
Midnight sermon
Crowd goes still
One black feather
On the windowsill (look)
[Verse 1]
I was carved from the ash of a fallen wish
Taught to pray with a blade
Not a rosary twist
Every scar on my back like a scripture strip
Every whisper in the dark sayin’
“This that gift”
Got a halo made of rust
Still it circles me
Every outlaw in the shadows say they heard of me
Velvet voice with a venom in the centerpiece
Every syllable a sigil
Every word a key (shh)
[Chorus]
Bow to the black halo
Once you taste this
You won’t let go
Dark Nephilim in your bloodstream slow
You don’t worship me
You worship the echo
Sing for the black halo
Name on your tongue like a secret code
Play it one time
Then you crave ten more
Dark Nephilim got you prayin’ for the encore (oh)
[Verse 2]
Eyes roll back when the bassline touch
Like a pact on your pulse
Yeah
It’s almost too much
Little shiver in your bones when the drums all crush
Now your heartbeat syncin’ up
You’re a part of us
Every outcast
Every ghost in a human skin
Find a home in the hum when the verse comes in
You were sworn to the light
Now you lean to the sin
’Cause the dark sing sweeter when it’s under your skin (under your skin)
[Chorus]
Bow to the black halo
Once you taste this
You won’t let go
Dark Nephilim in your bloodstream slow
You don’t worship me
You worship the echo
Sing for the black halo
Name on your tongue like a secret code
Play it one time
Then you crave ten more
Dark Nephilim got you prayin’ for the encore (pray)
[Bridge]
Close your eyes
Let the chant crawl up your spine
Every breath
Is a vow you can’t rewind
Say my name
In the quiet of your mind
You are mine
You are mine (hey)
[Chorus]
Bow to the black halo
Once you taste this
You won’t let go
Dark Nephilim in your bloodstream slow
You don’t worship me
You worship the echo
Sing for the black halo
Name on your tongue like a secret code
Play it one time
Then you crave ten more
Dark Nephilim got you prayin’ for the encore (Dark Nephilim)
Got you prayin’ for the encore (yeah)
Got you prayin’ for the encore (ooh)
