[Intro] [Vocal: female, velvet timbre, controlled menace, energy 7] Hush… (hush) Kiss the ring, count the scars, light the wick… [Verse] [Vocal: intimate, stalking cadence] Candle smoke in the catacomb air, Velvet steps, I’m the answered prayer. Silver lies on my tongue like wine, Say my name—now your fate is mine. I don’t beg, I don’t break, I bind, Thread the dark through a loyal spine. [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal: rising, hypnotic, breath-to-belt] You want the crown, you want the key, Then swear it where the shadows see— No saints here, just you and me… [Chorus] [Vocal: anthemic, fierce, melodic hook] Take the oath, take the power— Blood and lace in a midnight hour. Kneel to the flame, feel it bloom, I’m the vow and the velvet doom. Say you’re mine, don’t look away, Chains are soft when you love obey. Take the oath, take the power— We rise in the dark, we don’t devour… we tower. [Verse 2] [Vocal: confident, sharper consonants] Iron roses on my battlefield dress, Pretty sins in a perfect mess. I don’t chase, I collect what’s due, Every promise turns black-and-blue. Hold my gaze—see the ancient law: Loyal hearts get the gilded claw. [Bridge] [Vocal: dramatic, half-time, ritualistic] Cut the silence—draw the line, Speak it once and it brands your spine. If you run, I’ll call you back, If you fall, I’ll lay the track. Breathe it in… let it seal— What we swear becomes what’s real. [Chorus] [Vocal: bigger, stacked harmonies feel, energy 8 peak] Take the oath, take the power— Blood and lace in a midnight hour. Kneel to the flame, feel it bloom, I’m the vow and the velvet doom. Say you’re mine, don’t look away, Chains are soft when you love obey. Take the oath, take the power— We rise in the dark, we don’t devour… we tower. [Outro] [Vocal: siren-soft, victorious] Hush… (hush) Crown the night… Seal it tight… [End] [Vocal: whisper] Take the oath.
