LYRICS
From Valhalla
01 | FROM VALHALLA
[ERIK] A storm, a king, of north, of pain, In the night, I lay my claim. Kneel for me... Scream for me... I vow to love you... sinfully. [MAGNUS] You think her yours, but here she sleeps, In my shadow, pleasure leaks. Bound for me, in chains and lace, Run... run... run...I love the chase! [MAGNUS] Flesh and fire, pain and bliss, Her desire like Freya's kiss Caught between two wolves of old, A queen within a cage of gold! [DUET] From Valhalla For her I come! No Gods to save her, nowhere to run. Bound in darkness, forged in steel, She'll bow to me, she'll learn to kneel! [ERIK] I carve my mark, she's mine to claim, To drink her cries, to weep my name. Her mouth to own, her lust to wake, She's mine to ruin... Mine to break! [MAGNUS] Yet in the dark, my name she breathes, I wake her darkness, twist her dreams. When she drowns in sin's decree, Does she long for you? Or ache for me?! [DUET] Who will take her who will bind? Who will drive her to the edge of mind? Who will own her, who will tame? Who will pleasure her with pain? [DUET] From Valhalla, her summons soar, A woman torn, but asks for more. Chained by pleasure, drowned in pain, Once lost in darkness, now... born again!
02 | PLAY ME LIKE A SINNER
I wanna be your sinner, I wanna be your saint, Tie me down in leather, then set me free again. I wanna taste your madness, I wanna feel your bite, Dripping with temptation in the dead of night. I'm the shadow in your dreams, whispering your name, I'm the fire in your blood, driving you insane. You can pull me under, I will rise again, Play me like a sinner, love me like a saint! I’m bound by fire, chained to desire, Give me your poison, I’ll drink it all! Love me or break me, come on and take me, Show me the way to rise and fall! I wanna be your master, I wanna be your prey, Let the hunger take us, we can feast all day. I wanna hear you screaming, I wanna feel you shake, Dancing in the wreckage of the souls we break. I'm the whisper in your ear, twisting up your fate, I'm the curse upon your lips, the thrill you just can’t shake. You can pull me deeper, I will never drown, Bend me to your will, I'll never bow down! I’m bound by fire, chained to desire, Give me your poison, I’ll drink it all! Love me or break me, come on and take me, Show me the way to rise and fall! Burn me, scar me, make me feel alive! Tame me, break me, push me past the line! I'm the chaos that you crave, the venom in your veins, A slave to my desires, forever unchained! I’m bound by fire, chained to desire, Give me your poison, I’ll drink it all! Love me or break me, come on and take me, Show me the way to rise and fall! I wanna be your sinner... I wanna be your saint... Tie me down in leather... then set me free again...
03 | RUIN YOU
I smell your fear, taste your need, Your pulse is screaming—just for me. You say my name like a prayer, But love, I don’t forgive, I tear. Run, fight—go on, play the game, But you know I’ll chase, we burn just the same. You can beg, you can plead, but I take what is mine, I don’t ask, I don’t wait, I don’t cross the line. In the shadows, I pull you under, Writhing, gasping, begging for hunger. Say you hate me, curse my name, But your body still calls me just the same. Your hands on me, but you're trembling, love, You're made of fire, I drink from your blood. You wanna fight? I love when you do, But every gasp, every moan, proves I own you. Go on, deny it, lie to my face, But your heart betrays you—pounding in place. You can run, you can cry, but you’ll still come back, And I’ll take, and I’ll break, until nothing’s intact. In the shadows, I pull you under, Writhing, gasping, begging for hunger. Say you hate me, curse my name, But your body still calls me just the same. Bite your lip, scratch my back, Tell me no, but your thighs collapse. Drown in me, drown in this, You’re my ruin, I’m your abyss. In the shadows, I pull you under, Nails in flesh, burning like thunder. Say you hate me, scream my name, But love, you’ll crawl back all the same. Mine to ruin… mine to break… Mine to take.
04 | SURRENDER
Feel my breath against your skin, Tell me darling, should I sink in? Your pulse betrays the way you burn, Body screaming as you yearn. You say stop, but pull me closer, Fingers dig, nails in my shoulder. You don’t need to say the words— I already know how deep it hurts. Surrender to me, give me the fight, Drown in my touch, be lost in the night. Let your sins spill, let your moans break, Beg me to take, take, take. Your lips taste like wicked prayer, A whisper made of dark despair. You claw, you writhe, you fight in vain Cause sin and darkness are my domain. I'll pin you down, I'll take my time, Taste your moans like stolen wine. You twist, you burn, but you know you crave, In my shadows you'll want to stay. Surrender to me, give me the fight, Drown in my touch, be lost in the night. Let your sins spill, let your moans break, Beg me to take, take, take. Say my name, let me hear, How it breaks when I pull near. Let me feel it, make it raw, Lose yourself against my jaw. Surrender to me, there’s no escape, Let me ruin, let me break. Love, you’re mine—you always knew, So take me deep—I’ll drown in you. You’re mine… You’re mine…
05 | RAGNARÖK
In the hush of dusk, when the ravens fly, Three shadows rise ‘neath auroran sky. Bound by oath, by fang, by fire, Sons of the storm, of blood and ire. Ragnarok, hear the death toll ring, Ash to ash, from death we spring. Where roots of Yggdrasil yet threads Love in ruin, and roses bled. Paint Ragnarok... the end of days. One bears the steel with a steady hand, One paints the stars with a bleeding brand. One walks alone through the frozen mist, The seer who dreams of death’s soft kiss. Blóð ok brœðr, æsir kalla, Svik ok sannr, komi Valhalla. Skuggar dansa, seiðr blása, Endi kemr með eldr og glasa. [TRANSLATION:] Blood and brothers, the Æsir call, Betrayal and truth, hear Valhalla call. Shadows dance, the dark wind blows, The end shall come with fire and crows. Ragnarok, hear the death toll ring, Ash to ash, from death we spring. Where roots of Yggdrasil yet threads Love in ruin, and roses bled Paint Ragnarok... the end of days. And if the end must take us whole… Let her hands rip out our soul
06 | HUSH NOW, HJÄRTA MITT
Hush now, hjarta mitt, The night is weaving gold, Ravens guard the silent drift Where dreamers brave the cold. Sail the leaves of Yggdrasíll, Where souls are spun like thread, Odin watches, still and still, And shields thy sleeping head. Cold the tide and long the road, But fire lies in thee— Child of frost and runestone oaths, Drift into the sea. Valkyries hum in silver skies, Their wings a soft embrace, While Freyja sings where moonlight dies, To bless thy quiet face. Slumber deep, oh blood of mine, In cradle carved of pine, The gods shall keep their ancient sign— Sleep, till dawn shall shine.
07 | BEG THE BEAST
Close the door... On your knees, don’t speak. Don't speak of gods. Choke on me... Fangs at your throat, voice in your head, Call me king while I fuck you full of dread. I don’t beg, I bind. Vows written in flesh and spine. Skål to the screams, make you mine, Ruin tastes sweet when it’s laced with wine. Runes on my chest, sins in my grip, Markin’ your soul with every drip. Forget the fate, it only forsakes... One kiss from me and your whole world breaks. Blood don’t lie, and neither do moans, I'll crown you with pain, feed you my groans. Say "please," say "more," cry for me. If you beg the beast, it might give you release. Obey. That’s the only law. You breathe when I say, you crawl when I drawl. Chains ain’t steel—they’re need. And I feed on every goddamn plead. Say my name, bare your sin, You haven't been safe since you let me in. I burn slow, I fuck deep, And I don’t stop ‘til I hear you... Scream in your sleep. Come one, baby... Open... That's my good girl... Blood don’t lie, and neither do moans, I'll crown you with pain, feed you my groans. Say "please," say "more," cry for me. If you beg the beast, it might give you release.
08 | BROKEN QUEEN
Look at her, wide open and shaking, Our filthy little queen, mine for the taking. She begs so sweet, mouth full of sin, You feel that heat? She wants it again. You see her eyes? Fuck, she’s gone, She’s dripping for us, she’s barely holding on. Take her throat, I'll take her hips, Split her open between our fingertips. Gods, the way she moans my name, Fucking melts when I make her break. Grip her tighter, make her scream, She was made to be split between kings. Good girl, you take it all, Stretch your pretty lips, swallow it raw. She loves the pain, craves the burn, Look at her beg, begging for more. Hold her down, let her feel, How two gods make a mortal kneel. Tremble, baby, that's it, cry, We own you now, you can't deny. Good girl, you take it all, Stretch your pretty lips, swallow it raw. She loves the pain, craves the burn, Look at her beg, begging for more. Mark her skin with every thrust, Whimpering wreck, drunk on lust. Choke on me, swallow the sin, Let the devil see the mess we’re in. Grip her hair, make her plead, She’ll take our wrath, she’ll take our seed. She breaks so pretty, loves to bleed She's bound and burning for our greed. Watch her writhe, feel her tight, Look at that sweetness, what a sight. She’s ours, fuck, she’s ours to bleed, Our perfect little broken queen. Good girl, you take it all, Stretch your pretty lips, swallow it raw. She loves the pain, craves the burn, Look at her beg, begging for more.
09 | CHAINS OF FIRE & ICE
[ERIK] I was forged in blood and steel, Beneath the northern sky. Gods fed me war, I wield the fear, This son of North will never die. I am the king of pain and scars I'll make you crawl and cry. Touch her soul, I’ll bleed the stars— While Odin's ravens fly! [ELISE] They called me gifted, cursed me sweet, The girl with golden chains. But I’ve seen gods in velvet masks, And tasted lovers’ pain. I am the silence in the chapel, The scream that Freya calls. You think you own my body? But I already own your souls! [TRIO] Twin flames, bound in shadow, Hearts that never sleep. One burns hot with honour, One cuts cold and deep. We don’t bow to heaven, We don’t break within Through chains of fire and ice— We thrive in sin! [MAGNUS] I’m the echo in your hunger, The breath that haunts your skin. Not the storm that tears you open— Just the one who sucks you in. I never asked for mercy, I just want your tears to sing. Say his name, but taste it wrong— And feel my lust-soaked sting! [ELISE] I see you both in mirrored flame, Two blades across my spine. If love is just surrender— Then damn it, make it mine! [TRIO] Twin flames, bound in shadow, Hearts that never sleep. One burns hot with honour, One cuts cold and deep. We don’t bow to heaven, We don’t break within. Through chains of fire and ice— We thrive in sin! [ERIK] Ek var smíðaðr í blóði ok stáli, (I was forged in blood and steel) Undir norðrhimni. (Beneath the northern sky) Ek em endrómr í hungri þínu, (I’m the echo in your hunger) Andi er fylgir holdi þínu. (The breath that haunts your skin)
10 | LET ME IN
I found you where the silence weeps, A ghost in lace, too proud to sleep. You wore your pain like royal thread, And I would die to weave it red. Smile for them, but break for me. In the shadows I'll set you free. Kiss me like your final sin, Put the walls down, let me in. Your name still tastes like fire and frost, A map of want, a trail of loss. You curse the chains you crave at night— But darling, I'll make them fit just right. Smile for them, but break for me. In the shadows I'll set you free. Smile for them, but break for me. In the shadows I'll set you free. Kiss me like your final sin, Put the walls down, let me in. (Don’t need vows or borrowed light, Just your shadow pressed to mine tonight. I’d drink your soul in quiet sips, Savouring the copper from your lips.) Smile for them, but break for me. In the shadows I'll set you free. Kiss me like your final sin, Put the walls down, let me in.
11 | INTO THE MOON
[ERIK] I carved your name into my chest, May Valhalla take the rest. In the silence of our ruined hall, You were the fire, you were my fall. [MAGNUS I found you crying on icy grounds, And tore your fraying, crimson bounds. Give him your heart, I'll take the dark— And kiss to brand you with Freya's mark. [DUET] When the Norns cut deep, let it be for you. If your heart demands, we’ll split in two. One heart burned, one strung up, We offer our ruin, drop by drop By blood and blade and silver rune, Lets carve our vows into the moon. [ERIK] Sapphire eyes, cold and warm, meant to end the ancient storm. [MAGNUS] Hair of gold, a crown in red, meant to soothe the soul that bled [DUET] When the Norns cut deep, let it be for you. If your heart demands, we’ll split in two. One heart burned, one strung up, We offer our ruin, drop by drop By blood and blade and silver rune, Lets carve our vows into the moon.

From Ashes
01 | 02 | MIA FIAMMA (My Flame)
[LEONARDO] You move with grace the stars would envy Your voice a velvet flame Each note you sing becomes a kiss That sets my soul to name The way you breathe the air itself Could make a man believe That heaven lives within your smile And warmth you never leave. [TRIO] Mia fiamma, luce mia The fire that haunts my skin A song like that of a Spanish rose That tempts the heart within Mia fiamma, mia poesia Your breath becomes my plea And every note you dare to sing Unravels all of me. [VINCENTIUS] You do not know the light you hold You wear it unaware Each gesture speaks in silken tones Like music in the air And I would stay beside your path Though you may never see For just to hear your laughter rise Is more than fate gave me. [TRIO] Mia fiamma, luce mia The fire that haunts my skin A song like that of a Spanish rose That tempts the heart within Mia fiamma, mia poesia Your breath becomes my plea And every note you dare to sing Unravels all of me. [COSIMO] You sing and every room stands still The flowers seem to bow As if the earth itself could feel What I am feeling now No painter’s hand could find the shade To match your glowing skin And though I speak in quiet ways I long to let you in. [TRIO] Mia fiamma, luce mia The soul I long to keep A voice that wakes the Spanish wind And stirs me from my sleep Mia fiamma, dolce stella No night could make me stray For when you sing, the world stands still And darkness melts away...
03 | FIRE
They never gave me sword or throne— Only iron, ash, and bone. My empire was a forge of pain, And every scar still sings your name. I’ve lived where silence kissed the flame, Where every breath meant bearing blame. But you—you walked into the smoke, And something old in me awoke. I wasn’t made to be adored… But you looked on, and I was more. You are heat in every chain, The reason metal learns to break. I was born beneath the lash— But you strike, and I don’t ache. They say the gods forgot my face— But you… you see me. Still. You burn where nothing ever will. I wasn’t built for velvet touch, I only learned to bear too much. But your voice—it doesn’t cut. It carves. It brands. It hurts like trust. You speak in gold, not forged for war, And I still fall. I still want more. The Seville sun beneath your skin Outshines the fires I’ve burned within. They chained my wrists, they broke my name. But you— You broke me soft. You called me flame. And gods, I hate what you became— My prayer… My plague. You are heat in every chain, The reason metal learns to break. I was born beneath the lash— But you strike, and I don’t ache. They say the gods forgot my face— But you… you see me. Still. You burn where nothing ever will. And if I’m bound until I die, Let the last thing I see… be your fire in mine. Because chains… Chains remember fire.
04 | EXHALE
Breathe me in—lick away, We're here to sin, not to pray. Heartbeat loud like war-born drums, Lips say nothing. But your body does... Don’t speak—just fracture. I crave your silent rapture. [whisper] Exhale... that’s a good girl. Open up—take it all Let me taste that sweetness raw, Drag you down on all fours. You're no victim—You're a vision. Branded. Bent. Made religion. Let me kiss. Let me bruise. Let me touch, taste, breathe and use. I want to get burned on your flame, Give me pain—chant my name. Green. Red. Black. Take the stake. [echoes] Come on, angel—let me break, break, break.... Lips blood-red. Nails like knives. Cut me deep. I come alive. No more lies—just sweetest cries, Beg with gasps and part your thighs. Marked in heat, your skin a brand, Writhe for me—on command. Breath on spine. Pulse like steel. I will give you something to feel. I twist, I claim, I own, I bend— And mercy’s not the way this ends. Exhale... that’s a good girl. Kneel for me—take it all Let me drain that sweetness clean, Leave you shivering—serene. You're a ritual within. Sanctified. Branded. Flesh turned sin.
05 | WHERE YOU LAST LEFT ME
The door was barely closed And I was chasing ghosts You left in silence—but your scent stayed And I keep imagining things we've had. The moon won’t rise the same Since the night you said my name Like a sin too soft to curse Like a gift I didn’t deserve And I wait where you last left me Hands full of want, words I can't speak I call for you, Little Mouse, Can you hear it, can you see us? If time could bleed, it bled for you Every second slow, every moment true And I—I'd trade my pulse to see The way your eyes look at me You walked through the vines like fire [italian] "Una strega" born of sweet desire And when you let me touch you You took my pain away, too I dream in shades of your eyes That soft silk against your chest And every night I swear I hear The way you breath when you sleep near And I wait where you last left me With your moans still pressed within me I whisper [italian] "amore", into the dirt Like a secret blooming out of hurt If longing kills, I’ve died each day With every word I didn’t say And I—I'd beg the gods to see Little woman, The way you look at me I made a room from all my grief Hung your laugh where the light should be And maybe I’m mad. Maybe it’s true. But I’d rather rot here than forget you. So I wait where you last left me A man in want, a man in need. If fate is cruel, then let me be— Sing me that song, only for me And I—I'd burn for eternity As long as you keep looking at me.
06 | BURN ME, BEAUTIFUL
You walked in like a dare in silk, All fire and blood, tears unspilt. Didn’t ask to want you, but I do— Every breath you steal, I’d bleed for two. Your mouth writes threats I wanna taste, You talk like danger, move like grace. Like a secret I’m not meant to know, Come on baby, let me them flow. Burn me, beautiful, cut me clean, Set this heart on gasoline. You’ve got a bite behind that kiss— And I’ve never wanted pain like this. If it’s war, I’ll start the fire, Tied to you by blood and wire. Let ‘em say I’ve lost control… I’d lose it all to taste your soul. You don’t need to hold me down, Part your lips, let me drown. I stood my ground, tried not to fall, But you scorched the rules and broke the wall. “Look at me like that again, and I’ll make you forget your name. Come on baby, sink down low. I'll make it good, nice and slow." Yeah, burn me, beautiful, wreck me slow, Show me places no one goes. You’re no fantasy—you’re real, you're rough, And I want you brutal, never enough. So if I fall, make it hard— Rip my name right from the stars. You’ve already taken all... Now take the rest—and make me whole. I won’t ask. I won’t plead. But if you want my ruin— I'm yours to bleed.
The Chain Loop
01 | PLUG ME IN
Dragged through the ash, wires in my veins, Every breath tastes like rust and pain. The city walls whisper, they’re calling me home, But your eyes don’t let me roam. Not all chains are metal, Not all cages have locks… Plug me in, throw me about. Let the static scream and drown me out. Love is a fracture, lust a drug, Bleed me baby, pull my plug. Glass in my throat, hunger on my skin, Every scar’s a story of the world we’re in. Your hand on me, a hush in my bones, Freedom’s a ghost that never leaves me alone. Not all chains are metal, Not all cages have locks… Plug me in, throw me about. Let the static scream and drown me out. Love is a fracture, lust a drug, Bleed me baby, pull my plug. Shock to the system, Glitch on the skin, I’ll burn my way out, Or be swallowed in. Plug me in, throw me about, Let the static scream and drown me out. Love is a fracture, lust is a drug, I’m bleeding baby… …pull.... pull... pull that plug.
02 | OVERRIDE ME
"Take me..." "Shh..." "Need... Need... Need..." "Built to break me. Wired to crave you. Pulse to pulse— Override me." "No..." "Stay..." "Please..." "Built to break me. Wired to crave you. Pulse to pulse— Override me." "Come on..." "Yeah..."
03 | I SAW IT FIRST
The curve of your lips when you drop a lie — a half-moon folding under a soundless cry. You chew the corner, breathe in slow... it does things to me... mmm... don't you know? [Whispered] There’s a small tell in your eyes, [Whispered] A flash of truth when the light dies. [Whispered] You make me want to take it, break it... [Hushed] Shh, come on, baby... let me have it. I saw it first — the things you hide, the quiet threads you stitch inside. You look away, breathe too loud, You tell me no—[deep breath] I'm drunk on the sound. I saw it first — the break, the bend; the way you soften in the end. Don’t call it cruel, don't tell me no— Let me have it, I'll do it slow. You trace my scars, map my pain, like reading lines of a bleeding refrain. [low] Mmm, let me give you what you sought, my mouth on yours, my hands on your throat. [Whispered] There’s a shiver in your chest, [Whispered] A small tremor of your unrest. [Whispered] Let me take it, let me break it... [Hushed] Shh, come on, baby... let me have it. I saw it first — the things you hide, the quiet threads you stitch inside. You look away, breathe too loud, You tell me no—I'm drunk on the sound. When you sleep I watch you exhale— I remember every detail. Of your mouth when they part, Of your gasps when you fall apart. I saw it first — the quiet release, when you melted in my kiss. You turn away but never far — I keep the memory, I let it scar. I saw it first — and took it all, Again and again I watched you fall you let me watch, and I saw it first— Soft as prayer, twice as cursed.
The Tether Protocol
01 | I KNOW
I know where you sleep. (Female gasp: "No") I know what you dream. (Female gasp: "Please") I know how you taste. (Female gasp: "Oh...") I own your scream. You don’t see me, but I I'm always here. In every breath, always near. I know that scent — your sweat, your guilt, your fear. I trace the places you don't guard. Where your breath catches soft and hard Your lips say “no,” but you lean in And I know what lives under your skin. I’m closer than your pulse Closer than the sin. I know where you sleep. (Female gasp: "No") I know what you dream. (Female gasp: "Please") I know how you taste. (Female gasp: "Oh...") I own your scream. You shiver when I say your name Low and slow — like it’s a game But I don’t play. I take. I burn. You made me starve. You made me wait. I hear your heartbeat in the floor Smell your sweat behind the door. You breathe defiance through your teeth, But you shake when I'm underneath. Lock the windows, Hold your breath... I know where you sleep. (Female gasp: "No") I know what you dream. (Female gasp: "Please") I know how you taste. (Female gasp: "Oh...") I own your scream. Dream of hands. Wake in chains. Say my name. Love the pain.
02 | RUN, RUN, RUN
Boots. Sparks. Neon cuts the dark. You run — I grin. Let the game begin. Breath. Heat. It makes you dizzy, You look back twice — Mmm, you make it so easy. Faster. Break. Every step you take— Feeds the thing in me You don’t want to see. Run, run, run — I need the chase, Every drop of fear puts a smile on my face. Run, run, run — don’t you dare stop. I like it hard, like it dirty, like it hot. (That's my girl... Closer... Yeah...) Pulse. Fire. Come here, little liar— Say it: "No." Like I might let you go Pick up the pace. Make me, make me— Work for it, burn for it. Feel me! Run, run, run — I need the chase, Every drop of fear puts a smile on my face. Run, run, run — don’t you dare stop. I like it hard, like it dirty, like it hot. (That's my girl... Closer... Yeah...) Run, run, run — Every step that you take, Drives me so insane. You’re the chaos I crave, the edge of control, But once I catch up. There's no where to go [Outro] (Run, run, run) (Break.) (Breathe.) (That's my girl...)
These Tears
01 | WAKE ME OUT OF THIS
I’ve been holding my breath in a room of pain and frost, Counting the cracks in the ceiling like thoughts I’ve lost. Your name is a bruise under my tongue, And I still say it like I want to hear it sung. I swore I’d never need another you— Then you looked at me like I already belong to you. I’m standing in the wreckage, Feet in the ash, hands on the door. My heart is a death beat, My skin a map of fear— But when you move closer, I forget why I’m here. Don’t touch me— I’m breaking just to feel. Don’t save me— I don’t know what’s real. I hate you for the comfort, I crave you like the hurt… Say you don’t want me— And watch me fall first. Wake me out of this— I’m drowning in your silence, I can’t resist! I’m screaming in my head, but my body says yes, Like love is death, and I lean into it. I was dead inside— But you made my heart ignite. If you're a mistake, then wake me tonight… And pretend you just want to hold me tight. I keep my morals in my pocket With the holes torn through the seams. I don’t know where I end anymore, Or where you begin in me. Your hands feel like burning, Your eyes make me go insane— And I should be running, But I’m locked in the flame. Don’t say my name— Like it’s mercy. Don’t look away— Like I'm deserving. I’m not redemption, I’m not a cure… I’m the storm incoming— to devour you. Wake me out of this— I’m drowning in your silence, I can’t resist! I’m screaming in my head, but my body says yes, Like love is death, and I lean into it. I was dead inside— But you made my heart ignite. If you're a mistake, then wake me tonight… And pretend you just want to hold me tight. I should be afraid… But I never felt more alive. Wake me out of this.... Take me home... Into your heart... Where I belong...
02 | DEMONS
I kept them quiet in the walls Fed them silence through broken teeth Told myself I wasn’t hollow Only tired underneath I wore the skin they called human Stitched a smile across the rot But there’s something wrong inside me And it wants what I forgot I tried to be soft I tried to be clean I tried to be someone Who could survive being seen But the lock is rusted And the room is loud I can’t keep holding The darkness down Let the demons out Let them tear through me I am broken, I am wrong But when they're out, it’s easier to breathe Let them scream my name Let them wear my mouth I was dying in the silence Now I’m alive again, reborn, unbound. There’s a mirror in the hallway That stopped lying years ago It shows the cracks beneath the pretty All the things I shouldn’t know I kissed the shame until it loved me Made a home inside the ache If I was born to be a ruin Let the whole damn world break Let the demons out Let them tear through me I am broken, I am wrong But when they're out, it’s easier to breathe Let them scream my name Let them wear my mouth I was dying in the silence Now I’m alive again, reborn, unbound. Maybe I’m not meant for saving Maybe I’m the thing beneath Maybe all this blood and fury Is the only truth in me I know it’s sin I know it’s hell But when the demons come loose I feel like myself [whispering] Let them out [whispering] Let them out [whispering] Let them out Let the demons out Let them crawl over me I am shattered, I am stained But I can finally breathe Let them burn my name Let them sew my mouth I was drowned in the silence Now I’m rising out Call it sin Call it hell But when the demons come loose I feel like myself I feel like myself Wrong, but alive Broken, but mine Let the demons out
03 | THESE TEARS
Your shadow drinks the firelight Your voice comes slow, your hands stay still I feel you breathing through the night Like want dressed up in winter chill Don’t come closer Don’t touch me now I hate how quickly You make me fall These tears don’t fall because they hurt They fall because they’ve nowhere to go Wound me, hurt me, Break me whole. For what are tears for If you 're not there to catch their fall? You say my name beneath your breath A velvet threat against my skin When all is lost, and tears are left, Let the dark come crawling in These tears don’t fall because they hurt They fall because they’ve nowhere to go Wound me, hurt me, Break me whole. For what are tears for If you 're not there to catch their fall? These tears are warm where you are cold They fall for all I cannot say You hold me like I have been sold And God help me, I want to stay Whisper my ruin Say it slow Make me remember I wanted more. These tears don’t fall because they hurt They fall because they’ve nowhere to go Wound me, hurt me, Break me whole. For what are tears for If you 're not there to catch their fall?
Where the Serpent Sleeps
01 | WHERE THE SERPENT SLEEPS
Be it serpent sign, coil this throat of mine, Take my innocence to the darkest of dreams. This is oath-bound time, taste the moon-white wine, From the ruined heart I have carved into runes. It’s so hard to know my name When the gods speak it in shame. I wonder what this trembling thing became. A maiden made of want, So easy to corrupt, It only takes one kiss to fall down. Be it serpent sign, coil this throat of mine, Take my innocence to the darkest of dreams. This is oath-bound time, taste the moon-white wine, From the ruined heart I have carved into runes. I can hardly speak these lines For the Norns have crossed the signs, And fate has dragged its knife across my prayers. Now I answer to your name Like a hunger, like a blame, I close my eyes and let the darkness sing. Be it serpent sign, coil this throat of mine, Take my innocence to the darkest of dreams. This is oath-bound time, taste the moon-white wine, From the ruined heart I have carved into runes. If I look too far behind, To the girl I left in light, There’s something in the ash still burning on. Oh, oh, oh — pactum lunae! Oh, oh, oh — runa mortis! Oh, oh, oh — serpens aeternus! Oh, oh, oh — sanguinans! Gods above me, curse below me, Moon to witness, runes to own me. Break the heavens, drown the sea, Let the World-Serpent wake in me. I live in memories, chained into melodies, They bleed in harmony with lust and treachery. I gave my mortal breath, he gave me sacred death, And now the moon repeats the vow I cannot flee. Be it serpent sign, coil this throat of mine, Take my innocence to the darkest of dreams. This is oath-bound time, taste the moon-white wine, From the ruined heart I have carved into runes. Be the cursed divine, make this ruin mine, Let the gods look down as I fall to my knees. This is harvest night, drink the silver light, For the love I gave was spilled from my own heart. How can I run from this ache beneath my skin? How can I pray when the serpent sleeps within?
02 | WORLD SERPENT
Moon on water, runes below. I called my serpent from the cold. They warned me of the black sea, of the hunger in his name. They said no woman touches him and ever stays the same. But I saw him under moonlight, where the old gods would not see. And every prayer inside my mouth turned dark and followed me. He is my serpent, my ruin, my vow. The coil around my breathing, the shadow on my brow. He is my serpent, my sin, my sign. Let the gods look away when his darkness answers mine. His eyes were cold as winter, his mouth was salt and night. He rose beneath the runes like a curse becoming light. I should have run from the shoreline. I should have feared the deep. But my heart knew the monster the gods had left to sleep. He is my serpent, my ruin, my vow. The coil around my breathing, the shadow on my brow. He is my serpent, my sin, my sign. Let the gods look away when his darkness answers mine. Ash and bone, blood and brine, write his name across my spine. Moon and stone, root and sea, bind the serpent close to me. He is my serpent, my ruin, my vow. The coil around my breathing, the shadow on my brow. He is my serpent, my sin, my sign. Let the gods look away when his darkness answers mine. Moon on water, runes below. I called my serpent from the cold.
05 | 06 | 07 | ACROSS THE WATER
Beneath the roots, beneath the tide, I learned to wait, I learned to hide. The gods had cast me from their light, and left me sleeping through the night. I heard the timbers split and groan, I watched the dead sink down like stone. I held the world beneath the foam, yet never knew a place called home. Then through the mist your footsteps came, soft as snow upon the stone. You spoke to me without a prayer and made the endless less alone. Call my name across the water, I will hear you through the storm. Let Yggdrasil break between us, I will find you before dawn. Let the old gods loose their thunder, let the Norns undo their thread. I have carried worlds upon me, Now I'll carry you instead. I was born to break the sky, to meet the thunder eye to eye. I was made for war and flame, to leave the world without a name. I could have drowned a thousand shores, could have turned the fields to foam. Yet one small hand against my own made this ancient exile home. So if the night should hide your way, if winter steals the light of day, speak my name into the air. I will hear you. I will be there. Call my name across the water, I will hear you through the storm. Let Yggdrasil break between us, I will find you before dawn. Let the old gods loose their thunder, let the Norns undo their thread. I have carried worlds upon me, Now I'll carry you instead. Let gods decide our fate, let Norns entwine the threads they make. I bore the weight of earth alone, but where you are, I call it home. Call my name across the water, I will hear you through the storm. Let the Yggdrasil break between us, I will find you before dawn. Let the old gods loose their thunder, let the Norns undo their thread. I have carried worlds upon me, Now I'll carry you instead. Sea beneath and stars above, ancient blood and mortal love. Let the final winter come. Call my name. And I will come.
