Red Eclipse

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

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

Teeth grind, hands shake, vision going red

If I let it off leash, ain’t no stopping what’s fed

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

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

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

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?

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

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

Lantern still burns

If the beast comes back

I’ll be ready

I know who I am
