Call of the Abyss (Briar Rose)
[Verse 1] In dreams, I walk where shadows lead, The Neverborn, they call my name, Their voices twist the fate I plead, As nightmares rise to stake their claim. Behind me fades the golden dawn, The world I knew, so distant, still, They pull me in, the light is gone, And bend my soul to match their will. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, In every step, they steal my breath, And whisper of eternal death. [Verse 2] I dream of horrors brought to life, From fear and pain, they rise to me, A menagerie of endless strife, Their shadows haunt my memory. But somewhere in these endless dreams, The Sun still burns, a distant flame, I reach for light, yet hear the screams, The voices calling me by name. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, In every step, they steal my breath, And whisper of eternal death. [Verse 3] The Neverborn’s unholy grace, They weave the land beneath my feet, They carve the sky, they twist my face, Into a mask I fear to meet. They shape the world to match my fall, Their breath is cold, their words a snare, They beckon me beyond the wall, To dream a life in their despair. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, Their darkness pulls, I lose my way, And dread the rise of endless day. [Verse 4] The horrors rise from dreams I weave, They grow from all I dare to feel, My every thought, they twist, deceive, Until I no longer know what’s real. They know my fears, they wear my face, They smile with lies, they beg for trust, I feel the dark, the empty space, And wonder if my light is dust. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, Their darkness pulls, I lose my way, And dread the rise of endless day. [Verse 5] The Neverborn, their endless gaze, They hum the songs of death so sweet, I fight their pull, I lose my days, But can’t resist their beckoning heat. “Join us,” they sing, “and find your rest, Beneath the weight of endless night,” I tremble as they press their quest, The darkness calls, I lose the fight. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, In every step, they steal my breath, And whisper of eternal death. [Verse 6] I carve the night with fading light, I chase the dawn that slips from view, But shadows cling and blur my sight, Till I no longer see what’s true. The nightmares hold my heart in chains, Their whispers sweet, their promises deep, I wonder if the dark remains, When even in my dreams, I sleep. [Chorus] The nightmares come, they tear, they cry, I feel them claw, I hear them sigh, Their darkness pulls, I lose my way, And dread the rise of endless day. [Outro] I close my eyes, the dark remains, I wonder if my fight was real, The Neverborn, they sing of chains, And pull me deep where shadows kneel. Their touch is cold, but strangely kind, I drift away, I lose my flame and name
