[Intro – whispered / haunting] Black… Black is the river, black is the crown Black is the silence that’s pulling us down [Verse 1] Shadows rising, painted glass is breaking Angels bleeding, holy ground is shaking Dreams dissolve in velvet skies, Whispers crawl behind my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Feed the fire, choke the flame, All the colors turn the same. [Chorus] (powerful / melodic) Black! – the color of devotion. Black! – the trembling of the ocean. Black! – the breath I cannot take, the silence when I wake. [Verse 2] Broken statues, echo in the thunder, Falling faster, tearing worlds asunder. Candles burn with frozen screams, Nothing’s real but shattered dreams. [Pre-Chorus] Feed the fire, choke the flame, All the voices sound the same. [Chorus] (urgent / heavy) Black! – the color of confession. Black! – the gravity obsession. Black! – the wound that never fades, the altar where we prayed. [Bridge] (chaotic / spoken-shouted) (Black is rising) – pull me under, (Black is rising) – split asunder, walls are bleeding, never leaving! [Breakdown] (whisper to scream) Black is the silence! Black is the crown! Black is the hunger! Dragging us down! [Final Chorus] (soaring, gothic, layered) Black! – the color of devotion, Black! – the trembling of the ocean, Black! – the breath I cannot take, the silence when I wake! [Outro – fading / echoing] Black… Black… Forever black…
