[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
In the hall of shattered crowns
Every star bows down
Every god gone quiet
When your shadow hits the ground
[Verse 1]
You drag my name
Through your ancient dust
Say “child of the endless night
Remember what you are”
Your eyes hold wars
Older than my pulse
You point to burning galaxies
“Those were my first scars”
[Chorus]
I am the blood of the first night
Cut from the core of your black sky
You built the world out of your bite
But I’m the reason it won’t die
You are the fang that tore it open
I am the scream that breaks the throne
I am the blood of the first night
And I will turn your shadow into my own
[Verse 2]
You call me small
In your echoing voice
List the bones of fallen worlds
Like beads between your hands
You say “I carved
Every law in stone”
But my veins write questions
Your rules can’t withstand
[Pre-Chorus]
You formed the void
Then filled it with fear
But I’m your distant thunder
Growing closer
Drawing near
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
“Remember
Child
Before the first breath
I drank the dark
Shaped life from death”
[growled backing vocal]
“Every orbit
Every oath
Bowed before my sight”
[full voice
Soaring]
Then why do you shake
When I stand in your light?
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
