Lyrics

[Intro - whispered, distant]

Can you hear it?

Something calling through the trees…

Some souls haunt the darkness.

Some souls guard it.

[Verse 1]

Midnight hanging from a crooked sky

Black wings circling where the daylight died

I hear the voices no one wants to hear

Names disappearing with another year

I know the language of an empty room

I know what silence does when left to bloom

So when the shadows come to take their claim

I raise my lantern and I call your name

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t run when the cold wind blows

I’ve made a home where the lost things go

Every scar, every ghost, every secret you hide

Bring them to me tonight

[Chorus]

I’m the Night Caller

Walking where the moonlight ends

The Night Caller

Keeper of the lost and forgotten

When your light goes out

And the darkness gets louder

Follow the violet flame

I’ll find you somehow

Let the whole world sleep

I’ll be watching over

The ones nobody sees

I’m the Night Caller

And the night remembers me

[Verse 2]

There’s a graveyard underneath my skin

For every goodbye I never wanted in

But grief taught me something darkness never knew

A broken heart can still burn bright enough to guide you through

So bring me your monsters, your sorrow, your shame

The pieces of yourself you’re afraid to name

I’ve walked through fires that refused to die

Now even Hell knows better than to ask me why

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t fear what waits below

I’ve shaken hands with every ghost I know

Every scar, every loss, every tear you disguise

Nothing stays buried tonight

[Chorus]

I’m the Night Caller

Walking where the moonlight ends

The Night Caller

Keeper of the lost and forgotten

When your light goes out

And the darkness gets louder

Follow the violet flame

I’ll find you somehow

Let the whole world sleep

I’ll be watching over

The ones nobody sees

I’m the Night Caller

And the night remembers me

[Bridge - music drops to piano, heartbeat percussion]

I wasn’t chosen because I never broke

I was chosen because I know the ghosts

I know the sound

Of a heart going quiet

I know the weight

Of surviving the night

So if you’re standing at the edge of the dark

And you’ve forgotten the way back to your heart…

Look for my light.

[Breakdown - whispered choir]

One flame for the forgotten…

One flame for the gone…

One flame for the ones still walking…

When they don’t feel strong…

[Final Chorus - full orchestra + guitars]

I’M THE NIGHT CALLER!

Standing where the darkness ends

THE NIGHT CALLER!

Guardian of the lost and forgotten

When your light goes out

I’ll make mine burn louder

Follow the violet flame

I’ll lead you back out

Let the whole world sleep

I’ll keep watch until morning

No soul disappears unseen

I’m the Night Caller

The shadows remember my name

I’m the Night Caller

And the night…

remembers me.

[Outro - lantern closes, music fading]

Shadows remember…

what light forgets.
