Verse 1
The forest holds its breath tonight
As you cross the hidden line
Mist clings heavy to your skin
You never knew this land was mine
Chains hum low like broken prayers
Of power stripped away
An Alpha once, now bowed and scarred
Learning how to stay
Pre-Chorus
You saw too much, you stepped too close
Curiosity drew blood
What Magnus takes, he never frees
Not flesh — but soul and trust
Chorus
Welcome to the shadow
Where names don’t mean a thing
Here ownership is law
Not mercy, not retreat
You’re no longer a stranger
No path will lead you home
What Magnus claims in darkness
Is never left alone
Verse 2
His eyes meet yours for just one breath
A warning wrapped in shame
Between the scars and silent pain
You see what still remains
He stood proud, he stood free
Now marked beneath my hand
A living proof that even Alphas
Break inside my land
Pre-Chorus
One wrong step, one lingering stare
The woods close in on you
You feel it sinking in your bones
This place consumes what’s true
Chorus
Welcome to the shadow
Where screams dissolve in air
Where strength just means surviving
And learning not to care
You’re no longer a stranger
No path will lead you home
What Magnus claims in darkness
Is never left alone
Bridge
Chains or closeness — feels the same
Freedom’s just a word
Kneeling beside a fallen Alpha
Every truth is learned
No voice left to resist
No past left to defend
You understand too clearly now
How stories like this end
Final Chorus
Welcome to the shadow
You belong to it tonight
Your name begins to fade away
But the mark stays etched in sight
No tomorrow, no before
Just night that pulls you in
What Magnus owns forever
Never forgets the sin
Outro
The forest breathes again.
Two shadows more than then.
