[Verse 1] My mirror-mouth wolves are singing in glass, Bone-lantern saints keep time as I pass. Clockwork moths nibble holes in the dark, They stitch my name in a frostbit spark. [Pre-Chorus] If this is death, then let it be mine A velvet abyss with a silver spine. [Chorus] (chant:) te–ne–brae… mi–se–re–re… Black ice crown let the spirits sing, I bloom in snow, a winter thing. Take me under I won’t fight, Bride of frost I wear the night. [Verse 2] The corridor bends like a serpent of glass, Eyes in the snow watch the lifetimes pass. A carousel slow with thorn-laced reins, I trade my pulse for cathedral bells. [Pre-Chorus] If there’s a door, it opens inside I follow the chill where the warm can’t hide. [Chorus] (chant:) te–ne–brae… mi–se–re–re… Black ice crown let the spirits sing, I bloom in snow, a winter thing. Take me under I won’t fight, Bride of frost I wear the night. [Bridge] (chant:) nox… um–bra… si–le–o… Kiss both eyelids shut with the winter’s thread, Dress my dreams in echoes of the dead. Bury me slow where the white thorns grow I’ll hum their names in the undertow. [Final Chorus] (chant:) te–ne–brae… mi–se–re–re… BLACK ICE CROWN LET THE SPIRITS SING, I BLOOM IN SNOW, A WINTER THING. TAKE ME UNDER I WON’T FIGHT, BRIDE OF FROST I WEAR THE NIGHT.
