[Intro]
In the grayscale hush of midnight skies
A shadow spreads its wings, a warning in the eyes
Silence circling, heavy as stone
Behind the raven’s glare, a clockwork throne
[Verse]
I walk through gear-cleaved shadows, line by line
Where skulls kiss metal and the helmeted sign
A star fractures, glass-angled, cold and stark
Triangles guard the path through a whispering dark
The banner frays and the smoke curls tight
Plant fronds bend like weathered bones in flight
A tiny creature moves with patient claws
Curled in the echo of what danger draws
[Chorus]
Hold steady, hold steady, in the shade of wings
Where the night composes with the shape it brings
We ride the current of a monochrome tide
In every shadowed edge, a story we ride
[Verse]
The bird lowers gravity into fear
A menace that hovers where the lines disappear
The skull hums softly, a metronome of fate
While iron knees of horned helm reflect the gate
Fragments stitch a map of old regret
A triangular chorus hums in silhouettes
The reptile slips between the gears of dusk
A patient witness to the silence’s musk
[Chorus]
Hold steady, hold steady, in the shade of wings
Where the night composes with the shape it brings
We ride the current of a monochrome tide
In every shadowed edge, a story we ride
[Bridge]
If the banner flutters into a waking dream
If the star unknots and reveals what it may mean
We breathe in coal-smoked stories, exhale the rain
Let the ferns remember how the land forgot the pain
The bird circles once more, a sentinel in gray
And the creature at the core tilts its head to say
[Chorus]
Hold steady, hold steady, in the shade of wings
Where the night composes with the shape it brings
We ride the current of a monochrome tide
In every shadowed edge, a story we ride
[Outro]
Whispered pulses fade into the skeletal gleam
The image holds its breath, a carved, enduring theme
