[Intro]
Before the first prayer found a tongue
Before the first grave took a name
One man stood where the heavens split
And carried the dark away
[Verse 1]
He woke beneath a colorless sun
With salt in his mouth and ash on his hands
Above him, the planets turned inside out
Like broken coins in a giant’s command
The horizon opened a thousand times
Each wound revealing a colder sea
Shapes with too many mouths leaned close
And asked what a man was meant to be
[Pre-Chorus]
He saw the years devour themselves
He heard dead worlds pronounce his name
Still he raised his battered face
And walked into the flame
[Chorus]
Omniknight, stand at the edge of forever
Take every terror the void can provide
Let no child inherit the sound of it
Let no soul meet what you survived
Omniknight, when the last door is closing
Hold back the night with your hands made of scars
If infinity hungers for someone tonight
Let it find you beneath the stars
[Verse 2]
He crossed a field of frozen eyes
Where time ran backward through the bone
A thousand versions begged him to stay
Each one insisting he was alone
He wore the weight of collapsing moons
He drank from a river that remembered pain
The dark put a crown on his trembling head
Then promised him mercy in exchange for a name
[Pre-Chorus]
He could have vanished into nothingness
He could have let the silence win
But somewhere beyond the ruined sky
A million lives began
[Chorus]
Omniknight, stand at the edge of forever
Take every terror the void can provide
Let no child inherit the sound of it
Let no soul meet what you survived
Omniknight, when the last door is closing
Hold back the night with your hands made of scars
If infinity hungers for someone tonight
Let it find you beneath the stars
[Bridge]
No more mouths in the walls
No more oceans of teeth
No more clocks counting down
To a god underneath
He drove his hands through the boundary
He split the endless chain
Every horror turned its face from him
And learned the shape of pain
[Instrumental]
[Breakdown]
I am the first to bear it
I am the final shield
What entered here dies with me
What follows will be healed
[Final Chorus]
Omniknight, stand at the edge of forever
Take every terror the void can provide
Let no child inherit the sound of it
Let no soul meet what you survived
Omniknight, now the sealed heavens soften
Morning returns to the oceans and stars
The universe trembles, but never again
Will it ask another heart to go that far
[Outro]
When the first small hand reached for the sun
It found no teeth behind the light
He smiled from beyond the final wall
And surrendered the dark to night
