[Verse 1]
I step in the shadow, the air got weight
Gold on my blade, but the land won'tేట్
Gone with the grace, now I'm ghost in the gate
Every step I take, yeah, it could be my fate
Scadutree leaning like a thorn in the sky
I seen kings get split when they look too high
Smoke in the ruins, blood on the stone
Everybody in this realm die alone
Miquella left a trail like a cut through the dark
I follow that pain with a wolf in my heart
Creepin' past ash where the old vows broke
One wrong move and the whole road choke
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hush in the hollow?
Feel that chill when I follow?
Names get lost in the bramble
I came too far to crumble
[Chorus]
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
I came for the crown
Now it’s war on me (war on me)
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
If I fall in the dark
Then the dark know me (know me)
[Verse 2]
Messmer flame got the halls all red
Hot like a curse and a hymn unsaid
Horned masks stare with a dead old grin
Like they seen my end and they let me in
I beat through priests with a cracked-up calm
Hand full of runes and a nerve too strong
Every boss room feel like a locked-up sin
And the door close fast when the fight begin
I been through rot, I been through flame
This one hit deeper when they called my name
No safe road here, no saint, no guide
Just a broken world and a grave inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that hush in the hollow?
Feel that chill when I follow?
Names get lost in the bramble
I came too far to crumble
[Chorus]
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
I came for the crown
Now it’s war on me (war on me)
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
If I fall in the dark
Then the dark know me (know me)
[Bridge]
Ain't no mercy in that bloom
Only teeth inside the gloom
I cut through grief, I cut through dust
Still the shadow lean on us
[Chorus]
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
I came for the crown
Now it’s war on me (war on me)
Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree
If I fall in the dark
Then the dark know me (know me)
