[Verse 1]
I stand where the ash grows cold
A mouth in the stone, a vow untold
I wear the years like broken glass
And every breath I take, you lose your path
Your steps sound small in my domain
I taste your fear like summer rain
The bones of hope, I split them slow
I am the first thing you'll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
I am eternal darkness
I pull the veil down low
You count your prayers in pieces
And still I do not slow
[Chorus]
I am eternal darkness
(I am eternal darkness)
I will consume you whole
(I will consume you whole)
There is no escape
There is no escape
Everything fades to nothing
Everything fades to nothing
[Verse 2]
I keep the names that you forget
In iron throats and corridors of wet
I feed on light from trembling hands
And drag your bravest into blackened lands
Your clocks all bend in my decay
The final spark gets stripped away
It‘s only a matter of time
Before your world slips out of line
[Pre-Chorus]
I am eternal darkness
Your fire learns to kneel
You hear the floorboards breathing
You hear the graveyard feel
[Chorus]
I am eternal darkness
(I am eternal darkness)
I will consume you whole
(I will consume you whole)
There is no escape
There is no escape
Everything fades to nothing
Everything fades to nothing
[Bridge]
Look at me
When the room goes dead
I’m the last cold thought
Inside your head
No dawn comes
No clean white shore
Just the same black mouth
And then, and then—
[Final Chorus]
I am eternal darkness
(I am eternal darkness)
I will consume you whole
(I will consume you whole)
There is no escape
There is no escape
Everything fades to nothing
Everything fades to nothing
(I am eternal darkness)
(I will consume you whole)
