[Intro]
Red moon hanging like a wound in the sky
City whispering my sins when the sirens cry
Lantern glow on my hip, shadows stretch at my feet
If the night wants a war, then it’s war that it’ll meet
[Verse 1]
Blade on my shoulder, weight of the past
Every scar a receipt that the trauma don’t pass
Bandana tied tight, keep the rage in a cage
But the lock getting brittle from the heat of the flame
Demons talk slick, say “lose it, go wild”
I been biting my tongue since I was a child
Now my pulse 808s in my chest like drums
Guitar strings scream when the darkness comes
I don’t fear monsters, I mirror the threat
Every step in the fog like Russian roulette
Eyes low, jaw set, breath slow, don’t slip
One bad thought and I’m losing my grip
[Pre-Chorus]
Teeth grind, hands shake, vision going red
If I let it off leash, ain’t no stopping what’s fed
[Chorus 1]
Red eclipse in my brain, I’m on edge of berserk
Trap drums pounding while the riffs go berserk
Demons screaming my name, want the beast set free
If I snap, no saving what’s left of me
Heart like thunder in a blackout sky
One more push and it’s do or die
Red eclipse — feel the shift, feel the change
I’m one breath away from breaking the chain
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker like they scared of my steps
Got blood on the steel and it’s barely dried yet
I walk like a villain but I fight like a man
Trying not to let the darkness expand
Alt-metal mood in the back of my head
Soft verse calm but it’s seconds from red
Clean tone whisper then distortion scream
That’s the war between control and the fiend
Every heartbeat knocking cracks in the wall
Every memory gasoline ready to fall
They want chaos, I’m trying restraint
But the halo chipped off when it touched the flame
[Chorus 2]
Red eclipse in my brain, I’m on edge of berserk
Trap drums pounding while the riffs go berserk
Demons screaming my name, want the beast set free
If I snap, no saving what’s left of me
Heart like thunder in a blackout sky
One more push and it’s do or die
Red eclipse — feel the shift, feel the change
I’m one breath away from breaking the chain
[Bridge (Metal Break)]
LET. IT. OUT.
Hear the kick and the snare like a countdown
Blade sing loud — sparks in the rain
If I lose myself now, who’s left to blame?
[Verse 3]
I balance on the edge like steel on bone
Hero to zero when I’m left alone
But I built this armor from pain and grit
I won’t let the monster decide my script
Yeah the rage real, yeah it lives inside
But I’m still the one holding the line
Red moon watching, waiting for slip
I stare right back — tighten my grip
[Chorus 3]
Red eclipse in my brain, but I’m still in control
Trap 808 heartbeat, metal in my soul
Demons screaming my name, but they don’t run me
I turn rage to a weapon they can’t become me
Storm in my chest but I won’t cave in
I bend — don’t break — let the war begin
Red eclipse rising high in the night
I don’t lose myself — I fight
[Outro]
Lantern still burns
If the beast comes back
I’ll be ready
I know who I am
ShadowSing
