I Will Claim The Night

[Verse 1] These tunnels twist like veins of ancient stone, Dripping chill and silence, claiming every bone. Pale phosphorescent moss clings to the vaulted height, A sickly glow that mocks the everlasting night. The paths all fork and lie, they circle and they bend, No thread, no whisper, no beginning and no end. My steps return as echoes, mocking in the black, Yet still I walk — surrender never pulls me back. Stalactites hang like fangs in patient, endless rows, Stalagmites rise to meet them, grinning as they close. They smile through ages, cold and cruel and slow, As if the rock itself already knows I do not know Which way is forward, which way leads to home. [Chorus] These monstrous jaws will never claim my soul! I am the Voice of Lolth, Her power makes me whole! Each shadowed step refines my grand design, I never will give in, I will take what’s mine. Ambition burns where lesser hearts would break, My purpose cuts much deeper than the sharpest stake. I swear by venom, silk, and every rock in sight — I will find my way… and I will claim the night! [Verse 2] A hook horror lunges, claws like rusted scythes, A nightmare only parchment ever dared describe. My venom flickers, weak against its hide, Yet still I twist, I strike, I barely stay alive. Then chains of iron bite, slave’s collar’s cruel embrace, It shuts my magic numb, it steals the Spider’s grace. No spell can answer now, no mind to read or break, The silence screams inside — my power starts to shake. They cage me in the dark, iron bars in endless night, A priestess stripped of venom, drained of every might. Yet in their voices, gestures, every fleeting glance I trace, The greed, the fear that hides behind their brutal face. And though my magic’s gone… my wits will carve my way. [Chorus 2] These endless caves will never claim my soul! I am the Voice of Lolth, Her power makes me whole! Each shadowed step refines my grand design, I never will give in, I will take what’s mine. Ambition burns through every chain I break, My purpose cuts much deeper than the sharpest stake. I swear by venom, silk, and every web in sight — I will find my way… and I will claim the night! [Bridge] The warriors I once despised — their strength was never lie — Now I wear their lessons like a blade against my thigh. I crawled through blood, through chains, through endless caves. And gained new power that now burns and craves. [Chorus 3] These darkest caves will never claim my soul! I am the Voice of Lolth, Her will’s what makes me whole! Each scar I carry sharpens my design, I never will give in, I will take what’s mine. Ambition burns through every plot I forged, My purpose cuts much deeper than the sharpest sword. I swear by venom, silk, by every wound I’ve earned — I’ve found my way… and now the night is mine to burn!
