[Intro | cracked music box, prominent bass, cello drone, 8-bit poison tick, choir on an ugly vowel] [Choir, hummed] Ah—ah—ah— the day has teeth. [Verse 1 | sung, low, cello under the wreck, bass in a toxic long-tone] The sky split open without a storm The hand began to glow A coil of light said take my core And I will make you more I came to keep the kingdom small I came to stop the day I thought the darkest was the end I thought the end would stay The core was warmer than the street The fingers were the sun A voice the size of future lack Said I could be the one [Pre-Chorus | sung, rising, bass climbing, no comfort] Don't bless the core that finds you Don't praise the hand that waits It only loves the living size Still swelling in your chest [Chorus | lead + toxic choir, cello on the title, bass answering the last line] Eternatus, Eternatus Saint of the darkest mile You wear a disaster like Sunday clothes And smile a gigant smile Eternatus, Eternatus Mercy made of core You teach the lost to grow past pain Then be the pain they wore [Verse 2 | sung, bass closer, chip tick like a slow swell] They find them towering in the street With eyes too bright to close Their mouths still open from a wish The wish is what outgrows A blue wolf cuts, a red wolf holds And neither makes it small The hand keeps count, the hand keeps score The score is all A kingdom can recall the child A chairman can recall the plan This circle will not shrink them back It is growing now [Pre-Chorus | bass higher, cello unwilling] Don't look too long into the core One hand, one open grave If you can feel the size go tight You're already its slave [Chorus | lead + choir, fuller bass] Eternatus, Eternatus Saint of the darkest mile You wear a disaster like Sunday clothes And smile a gigant smile Eternatus, Eternatus Mercy made of core You teach the lost to grow past pain Then be the pain they wore [Verse 3 | sung, quieter, cello alone, bass thin] It doesn't hunt along the road It hunts the need for more It waits until you call it power And answers from the floor The rain can cover half the wreck The wreck will not forget A little 8-bit hymn still ticks Inside a second skin It drinks the wish before the flesh It files you with the glow It leaves a hand still in the sky To show the next one where you grow [Chorus | bigger, choir stacked, bass answering every other line, still not triumphant] Eternatus, Eternatus Black chapel, no way home You fold a body into size And wear it while you roam Eternatus, Eternatus Darkest learned a tune You leave the kingdom quieter And hungrier too soon [Bridge | spoken over one held cello note, bass barely there, 8-bit tick slow] The darkest day is not the dragon. The darkest day is the hand that took the core and called the growth a cure. Rose wanted the future fed. The future was not the meal. You were the warm thing in the street. Zacian cut. Zamazenta held. Eternatus does not hate the champion. Eternatus is the size they asked to be when someone called the small a sin. The growing was the meal. [Drop | no beat drop — choir, cello drone, bass tremolo, chip tick stacking] Grow. Grow. Grow. Core. Core. Core. The saint does not swell. The saint is wearing swell. More. More. The hand remembers every wish that fed it. [Verse 4 | sung, low, almost spoken-sung, bass under] I felt the glow go through my wrist I felt the street agree The wolves both turned, the sky stayed split And saved a size for me If someone else should find the wreck And ask the day to stay Tell them the darkest is already full Tell them the core is the way [Final Chorus | lead + full choir, bass and cello with the choir, still not triumphant] Eternatus, Eternatus Saint of the darkest mile You wear a disaster like Sunday clothes And smile a gigant smile Eternatus, Eternatus Say it if you dare The sky bows. [Outro | cello drone holds, 8-bit poison tick does not stop, bass stops first, choir on the ugly vowel] Ah—ah—ah— the day stays open. Ah—ah—ah— the day stays open. The next one is already reaching.
