[Intro, Ambient Drones, Whispered Adlibs]
(Whispers in the dark...)
(Say my name in the silence...)
(shhhh, dead noise, faded)
[Verse 1, Distorted Vocals, Eerie Piano]
Silhouette movin’ through shadows at night
Pain in my voice, but my grip holdin' tight
Graveyard lullabies run through my head
Crossed out names of the ones who fled
Spirits speak when the moon don’t shine
Blood on my hands but the blame ain't mine
Chain cold, mind gone, soul decline
Lost in a city where the holy die
[Pre-Chorus, Reversed Pads, Echo FX]
Every prayer feel like a hex in the air
Hope been missin’ but I act like I care
Demons laugh while I load and stare
Every sin got a seat in my lair
[Chorus, Ghostly Harmonies, Whispered Hook]
Bless the dead (bless the dead)
My heart still beats with dread (with dread)
Stained in black, I walk this thread (so thin)
Low whispers keep me fed (fed... yeah...)
Bless the dead (amen)
A candle burns where angels bled (drip drop)
A thousand eyes, all painted red (they watchin’)
Say a hymn, then off with heads (off... with... heads)
[Verse 2, Slow Flow, Ambient Bass Swells]
Clock tick slow like the pulse of doom
Smoke crawl deep in a hollow room
Talk to the night, I don’t need no crowd
I’m married to silence, I said my vows
Faces appear then vanish in fog
I see ‘em all like a third-eye god
Pain in code, I write in scars
Bless the ones behind them bars
[Bridge, Cinematic Pads, Melancholy Feel]
If I fade, bury me in rain
Let the thunder carry my name
Holy robes, but none stayed clean
In the dark, I found my team
[Chorus, Ghostly Harmonies, Whispered Hook]
Bless the dead (bless the dead)
My heart still beats with dread (with dread)
Stained in black, I walk this thread (so thin)
Low whispers keep me fed (fed... yeah...)
Bless the dead (amen)
A candle burns where angels bled (drip drop)
A thousand eyes, all painted red (they watchin’)
Say a hymn, then off with heads (off... with... heads)
[Outro, Fading Synth, Distant Vocal Echoes]
(Bless the dead... forever gone...)
(Hold me close... 'til the silence comes...)
(heartbeat fades...)
(fades... fades...)
