[Verse 1]
You came crawling through the ashes
Lip cut, shirt torn, eyes red
Said, “Take every last tomorrow
Just get this hunger out my head”
You carved my ancient sigil
Into skin that used to pray
You whispered all your secrets
I drank them all away
[Pre-Chorus]
You begged for a door in the dark
I opened my mouth instead
You offered your fear like a flower
I crowned you in the dead
[Chorus]
I am Nyx
And you are mine forever
You kissed my void
You tore apart your tether
You signed in tongue
You signed in sweat and fever
I am the night
And you are mine forever (forever)
[Verse 2]
Your heartbeat—tiny hammer
Trying to crack my throne
You shook in my obsidian palms
Still swearing you were stone
You traded breath for whispers
Mortality for mark
I pressed my promise to your pulse
And pulled you through the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
You asked what the price really was
I slid my hand through your chest
Showed you your name turned to smoke
Said, “Call this blessed”
[Chorus]
I am Nyx
And you are mine forever
You kissed my void
You tore apart your tether
You signed in tongue
You signed in sweat and fever
I am the night
And you are mine forever (mine forever)
[Bridge]
[Riff drops to half-time, whispered vocal over chugs]
I swallowed your shame
Your childhood prayers
Your father’s voice
Your mother’s stares
I peeled your hope
Like dying bark
Then dressed you up
In living dark (yeah)
[Growled]
You wanted power?
Now taste my throne
You wanted freedom?
Now lose your own
You wanted silence?
Hear galaxies scream
You wanted truth?
Choke on the dream
[Chorus]
I am Nyx
And you are mine forever
You kissed my void
You tore apart your tether
You signed in tongue
You signed in sweat and fever
I am the night
And you are mine forever (forever… mine)
