[Verse 1]
Smoke in my lungs
Cheap faith
High price
I carved my name
In the ash of the night
Blood in the basin
Candles spit black
Whispered the offer
“Take me
Don’t give me back”
She rose from the dark
Skin like the end of the world
Eyes full of distant
Stars that already burned
[Chorus]
Nyxbound
I gave you everything
Nyxbound
Tore out my trembling wings
Lay me down in your shadow
Crush my halo
Make me howl
Nyxbound
I’m yours forever now
[Verse 2]
Her fingers on my throat
Cold fire
Slow grin
Said
“You begged for the dark
Now let the dark in”
Lips taste of midnight
Iron and wine
She climbed into my veins
Crossed every line
Bodies collide
Like galaxies in decay
She rode every promise
I was stupid enough to say
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hands on my chest
She tore the light apart
Ripped out the word “mercy”
From the meat of my heart
[whispered vocals]
“Say my name
Mortal
Let it fill your lungs”
[guttural scream]
NYX!
I’m nailed to your tongue
[Chorus]
