INTRO
(Distant radio static — low ambient hum — slow guitar reverb)
There’s somethin’ out there…
Past the edge of God…
And it knows my name…
VERSE 1
I buried my past in a desert of ghosts
Whiskey in my blood, black smoke in my lungs
Every road I walked left another scar
Every prayer I made died before the sun
I hear the silence whisper through the night
Like shadows crawlin’ underneath my skin
There’s a darkness waitin’ in the sky above
And I think I finally let it in
PRE-CHORUS
The stars went cold…
The world turned black…
I looked into the abyss…
CHORUS
And the Void stared back at me
With a thousand hollow eyes
Said, “Pain is power, son…
Now let the old you die…”
Now my heartbeat sounds like thunder
And my soul fades into black
I went lookin’ for revenge…
And the Void stared back
VERSE 2
Now mirrors crack when I walk by slow
Dogs start barkin’ at the empty air
I don’t sleep much anymore these days
‘Cause I see strange figures standin’ there
Every wound became another chain
Every chain became another blade
I can feel somethin’ changing in my bones
Like a monster being slowly made
PRE-CHORUS
The sky split open…
The stars collapsed…
And I smiled inside the dark…
CHORUS
And the Void stared back at me
With a thousand burning eyes
Said, “Mercy makes you weak…
Let the human inside die…”
Now my veins run cold as winter
And there’s no soul left to drag back
I went lookin’ for revenge…
And the Void stared back
BRIDGE
(Music drops darker — distorted whispers underneath vocals)
“Become more…”
“Become eternal…”
“Become the fear…”
I don’t remember who I was before
That man dissolved inside the night
Now there’s only echoes in my chest
And a hunger that won’t die
FINAL CHORUS
(Huge cinematic drums + choir + electric guitar swell)
And the Void stared back at me
From the edge of endless space
Now the darkness wears my shadow
And it’s speakin’ through my face
There ain’t no heaven left to save me
Ain’t no angels comin’ back
I went lookin’ for revenge…
And the Void stared back…
OUTRO
(Static — heartbeat slowing — distant whisper)
“You belong to the dark now…”
