Verse 1
The last walls around you faded in the dark
And for the first time I saw your beating heart
No throne, no crown, no god above the stars
Just a man who carried centuries of scars
You pulled me closer like the world would disappear
Wrapped your wings around me, whispered in my ear
“No force alive could ever take you away”
And suddenly forever didn’t feel so far away
Pre-Chorus
The heavens fell silent
The galaxies slowed
Inside your shadows
I finally felt home
Chorus
Hold me here inside your wings tonight
Where the stars can’t steal your light
Let the universe forget our names
While your heartbeat calls mine again
If eternity is only this
Your breath, your touch, your endless kiss
Then let the worlds all fade away
As long as you ask me to stay
Verse 2
Golden lights were dancing in your crystal skies
And tears of love were shining in your silver eyes
You confessed the wars, the ruin and the pain
All the empty worlds you burned to feel again
But beneath the fury, beneath the endless night
There was only loneliness hidden out of sight
A god on his knees, trembling in the dark
Begging one soft soul to restart his heart
Pre-Chorus
And when you kissed me
Time disappeared
No gods, no kingdoms
Only us here
Chorus
Hold me here inside your wings tonight
Where the stars can’t steal your light
Let the universe forget our names
While your heartbeat calls mine again
If eternity is only this
Your breath, your touch, your endless kiss
Then let the worlds all fade away
As long as you ask me to stay
Bridge
You carved your love into my skin
In ancient runes beneath my ribs
A promise written through the dark
That even death could never rip apart
And while dimensions closed their doors
You whispered softly, “You are yours
No heaven, hell or dying sun
Will take away my only one.”
Final Chorus
So keep me here inside your wings tonight
Wrapped in shadows warm as light
Let forever bend beneath our hands
While silence turns to sacred plans
If all the worlds were meant to end
I’d still choose you again and again
My fallen god, my endless flame
Whisper my name through eternity again
Outro
“My Aetheryn…”
Your voice still echoes through my soul
“My light… my eternity…”
And for the first time
The darkness feels like home
