[Verse 1]
I move through your hall
Like smoke through old lace
Your black-nailed roses
Still scratch at my face
The mirror is cracked
But it knows my name
I wore your hunger
And I wore the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Bite down
Hold fast
The night comes back
At last
Cold blood
Black flame
You called me in
By name
[Chorus]
Within the shadow
I rise again
Within the shadow
I wear your sin
Within the shadow
I break your chain
Within the shadow
I call your name
[Verse 2]
You left silver marks
On the doorframe wood
I followed that trail
Like I never should
Your candle burned low
On the chapel stone
Now every prayer
Sounds like my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Bite down
Hold fast
The night comes back
At last
Cold blood
Black flame
You called me in
By name
[Chorus]
Within the shadow
I rise again
Within the shadow
I wear your sin
Within the shadow
I break your chain
Within the shadow
I call your name
[Bridge]
Let the wolves sing
Let the iron ring
I am the bruise
Under your skin
No holy gate
No blessed fire
Just teeth and velvet
And deeper desire
[Final Chorus]
Within the shadow
I rise again
Within the shadow
I wear your sin
Within the shadow
I break your chain
Within the shadow
I call your name
