[Verse 1]
Black altar
Your name in his breath
He carved you
Right into his chest
Candles flicker
Then they’re gone
He falls
One heartbeat
Tears a god apart
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel his pulse go silent
Across a thousand skies
A single mortal dying
Cracks the void behind your eyes
[Chorus]
Nyx’s heart breaks open wide
Spilling stars
Burning dark
Eating light inside
She was calm
Now the cosmos shakes
Every scream that she swallows makes a universe quake
Nyx’s crown slips
Hits the floor
Every oath that he gave turns to teeth and gore
She was night
Now she’s just the knife
Ripping holes in the world for the end of his life
[Verse 2]
You drag moons
Like chains on the ground
Rip constellations
Till they don’t make a sound
You paint comets
In the shape of his face
Then crush them
Just to feel them break
[Pre-Chorus]
You twist the ribs of heaven
To hear the tendons sing
If love can die so easy
Then let the chaos reign
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
You were mine
You were mine
You were mine
So I’ll kill time
[loud
Unhinged]
Every clock in the sky
I tear it down (tear it down)
Every prayer in the dark
I choke it out (choke it out)
If he can leave me bleeding
Then everything bleeds
Let the galaxies drown in my need
[Chorus]
