------------ ABOUT ------------ “Drag the Night” is part of my Second Chance series, where I return to older songs and rebuild them through everything I have learned since then. Original version: https://suno.com/s/y0pPaIoQm8XZzDfw This song means a lot to me. It was one of my earliest creations, made during a time when I was still searching for my artistic direction. It was also my very first participation in a creator challenge, built around an imposed hook. That period helped me open my mind, meet wonderful people, and forge many of the creative tools I still use today. For this new version, I wanted to rethink the song through the current evolution of Lucy: darker, more mature, more controlled, and shaped by a deeper gothic emotional weight. It is not just a remake. It feels like giving an old flame the voice it was waiting for. I hope you enjoy this version, and feel free to listen to the original too. ------------ LYRICS ------------ [Opening Hook] Drag the night across my face, Burn out stars behind my eyes. Shut it down, make it fade— Maybe then I won’t mind. [Verse 1] In the shadow of the crown, they tried to bind my name Buried my voice in silence, drowned it in their shame But my fire’s still burning, hidden under stone In the ruins of my body, I am still my own [Pre-Chorus 1] Every scar, every scream, carved my mark in the night I won’t bow, I won’t break, I will rise through the fight [Chorus 1] Drag the night across my face, Burn out stars behind my eyes. Shut it down, make it fade— Maybe then I won’t mind. [Verse 2] Chains won’t hold my song, they’ll shatter in the flame You can mark the walls, but you will never own my name Ashes turn to armor, silence learns to roar I was broken into silence, but I learned to breathe once more [Pre-Chorus 2] Every wound, every trial, forged my heart into steel You can try to strip my power, but I’ll teach the dark to kneel [Chorus 2] Drag the night across my face, Burn out stars behind my eyes. Shut it down, make it fade— Maybe then I won’t mind. [Bridge] Do not call me ruined Do not name me weak I have swallowed kingdoms just to learn to speak I am not your silence I am not your sin I am still the cathedral burning from within [Final Chorus] Drag the night across my face, (Drag the night...) Burn out stars behind my eyes. (No stars inside...) Shut it down, make it fade— Maybe then I won’t mind. [Final Tag] Not yours to bury, not yours to define. I am still the altar, still the fire inside. © 2026 ☓irbaf — Lyrics, creative concept, arrangement, production and visual direction. All rights reserved.
