[Intro — RITUALISTIC / LOW CHOIR / WHISPERED]
(heartbeat, distant chanting, distorted whispers)
Say my name…
Say my name…
Say my—
⸻
[Verse 1 — CLEAN, SINISTER CALM]
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.”
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — RISING / UNEASY]
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
⸻
[Chorus — HUGE / CLEAN + LAYERED GROWLS]
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
⸻
[Verse 2 — HEAVIER / TENSION RISING]
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.”
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2 — GROWL LAYER UNDER CLEAN]
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
⸻
[Chorus — EXPANDED / CRUSHING]
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
⸻
[Breakdown — SLOW / DEATHCORE / GUTTURAL]
(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
⸻
[Bridge — CLEAN / HAUNTED]
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
⸻
[Final Chorus — MASSIVE / ALL VOCALS]
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
⸻
[Outro — WHISPER / LOW DRONE]
(whispered)
This is where the door opens.
This is where the monsters begin.
