Covenant In Blood

(heartbeat, distant chanting, distorted whispers)

Say my name…

Say my name…

Say my—

⸻

I followed the voice through the cracks in the sky

Where the air tasted sweet and the truth learned to lie

It promised me wings if I cut out my fear

Said, “Everything broken is welcome in here.”

The night wore a crown made of luminous scars

It spoke in my language, it knew who we are

It said, “You don’t have to be hollow inside

Just give me your heart and I’ll give you their lives.”

⸻

My hands were shaking but I didn’t care

I was tired of breathing this empty prayer

If this is the price for the ones I love

Then bury me deep in the dark above

⸻

So I signed my name in the blackest flame

Let the heavens choke on my broken name

I carved my hope into the edge of the night

And the dark leaned in and it bit me twice

Now I feel it crawl in my veins and bones

A crown of thorns for a borrowed throne

I sealed the oath with a burning flood

I am bound to the dark by a covenant in blood

⸻

The sky went quiet when the ink ran dry

Even the stars refused my eyes

Every dream I held turned into smoke

As the world stood still and the silence spoke

It said, “You are chosen, you are the key

A vessel of ruin, a god in your teeth

You’ll never be empty, you’ll never be alone

As long as my shadow sits on your throne.”

⸻

I should’ve run but I stayed and smiled

I traded my future for one more night

I thought I was saving the ones I love

But I was just building a grave with god

⸻

So I signed my name in the blackest flame

Let the heavens choke on my broken name

I carved my hope into the edge of the night

And the dark leaned in and it bit me twice

Now I feel it crawl in my veins and bones

A crown of thorns for a borrowed throne

I sealed the oath with a burning flood

I am bound to the dark by a covenant in blood

⸻

(GUTTURAL)

CUT THE SKY

SEVER THE LIGHT

LET THE HEAVENS WATCH ME FALL

BURN MY SOUL

TAKE MY EYES

I WILL ANSWER WHEN YOU CALL

(DROP)

THIS IS THE SOUND OF A SOUL BEING SOLD

⸻

I thought the dark would leave me whole

But it just learned the shape of my soul

Now every breath I take is a chain

And every promise tastes like rain

⸻

I signed my name in the blackest flame

Let the heavens choke on my broken name

I carved my hope into the edge of the night

And the dark leaned in and it bit me twice

Now I feel it crawl in my veins and bones

A crown of thorns for a borrowed throne

I sealed the oath with a burning flood

I am bound to the dark by a covenant in blood

⸻

(whispered)

This is where the door opens.

This is where the monsters begin.
