The Cursed Collective - Circle of Thorns

Step in the circle — the fae won’t forgive, Dance in the ring where the shadows all live. Twist of the tongue, your fate gets torn, Welcome to the curse of the Circle of Thorns. Mushroom halo, midnight crown, Step too close, you can’t step down. Roots coil quick, pull breath from the chest, Every rhyme I spit is a pact confessed. Fox-fire flickers in a fern-lined flame, Say your prayer wrong, you’ll forget your name. Whisper in the willows, riddles in the mist, Every bar I break is a serpent’s hiss. Step in the circle — the fae won’t forgive, Dance in the ring where the shadows all live. Twist of the tongue, your fate gets torn, Welcome to the curse of the Circle of Thorns. Silver-vein syllables, spider-spun schemes, Venom in the vowels, I devour your dreams. Fairy-fire phantom, fracture of sound, Your shadow gets swallowed where the roots unbound. Spore-cloud cadence, chant-wrought breath, Every rhyme’s a relic, resurrecting death. Step wrong once and the bargain is made, Your soul is a song that the fae replayed. Step in the circle — the fae won’t forgive, Dance in the ring where the shadows all live. Twist of the tongue, your fate gets torn, Welcome to the curse of the Circle of Thorns. I glide with the ghosts in a gloom-lit rhyme, Every breath bends backwards, swallowing time. Silken syllables slither, serpent-slick schemes, Your shadow’s my scripture, I stitch it in dreams. I’m the echo in the oak, omen in the ash, Cadence like a curse when the cold roots clash. Whisper wraiths weaving where the night unspools, I rhyme in the hollow where the fae write rules. Round and around — the ring rewinds… Bound to the ground where the moonlight binds… Step, step, step — no turning back, The fae write fate on a thorn-scarred track. Circle, circle — thorn and flame! Step in the circle — the fae won’t forgive, Dance in the ring where the shadows all live. Twist of the tongue, your fate gets torn, Welcome to the curse of the Circle of Thorns.
