The Dark Liturgy

Verse 1 Enter the temple where shadows kneel, Your heartbeat is incense, your fear is real. Every thought I claim, every shiver you feel, I am the ritual, the knife, the seal. Your gaze is hollow, your pulse a drum, I trace your sins where they come undone. Kneel beneath me, taste the flame, Every whisper bends your name. Pre-Chorus Hush… devotion drips from your skin, Every tremor a confession of sin. I am the voice inside your mind, The unseen force you cannot fight. Chorus Bow to me, your god, your doom, I am the night that fills your room. Chains of shadow, hands of fire, I am obsession, your desire. Every nerve, every gasp, every moan, I am the darkness you call your own. No dawn, no mercy, no reprieve— In this liturgy, you kneel, you believe. Verse 2 Candles gutter with your trembling sigh, I carve my will where your limits lie. Pleasure and terror entwined in one, I am the shadow, the devouring sun. Your mind dissolves into my hands, I map your soul, I mark the lands. Whispers of worship, moans of pain, Every shiver is my domain. Pre-Chorus Silence now, let your reason bleed, Every desire sown like a seed. I am the hunter, I am the priest, I am the feast, the darkened beast. Chorus Bow to me, your god, your doom, I am the night that fills your room. Chains of shadow, hands of fire, I am obsession, your desire. Every nerve, every gasp, every moan, I am the darkness you call your own. No dawn, no mercy, no reprieve— In this liturgy, you kneel, you believe. Bridge Taste the velvet of my command, Feel the fire of my hand. I am the shadow beneath your skin, The sacred crime you cannot rescind. You bleed devotion, you bleed fear, I am the darkness always near. Every thought, every shiver, every sigh, I am the echo of your silent cry. Final Chorus Bow to me, your god, your doom, I am the night that fills your room. Chains of shadow, hands of fire, I am obsession, your desire. Mind, body, soul, all are mine, You kneel, you break, you cross the line. No dawn, no mercy, no reprieve— In this dark liturgy, you kneel, you believe.
