[Instrumental Intro - Heavy distorted bass swell, breathing, deep cello tone] [Verse 1] [Sensual Whispering, Low Rasp] I smell the salt and iron steaming on your pulse tonight Silver beams through splintered beams, splitting us in white [Vocal growl, intensifying] Tendons snap like wet cord—my jaw splits ear to ear The chain around my throat turns red and melts into my fear You locked the barn, you said your prayers, you thought the wood would hold Now watch my spine uncoil into something starved and cold [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up, Driving Percussion, Gritty Vocals] Listen to the black pines splinter Listen to the marrow sing The moon bleeds out across the snow [Shouted] And I devour everything! [Chorus] [Explosive Heavy Drop, Aggressive Metal Vocals, Layered Harmonies] I am the oath you broke! I am the teeth in the dark! Run, little saint, run fast! Leave your blood for a mark! [Backing Echoes] (They called my name) [Backing Echoes] (I tore the gate) [Backing Echoes] (Too late to pray) [Verse 2] [Industrial Beat, Dark Sensual Delivery, Predatory Tone] Your lantern flickers wildly down the mud-slick river bed Your hounds aren't hunting me tonight—they're cowering instead I wore your quiet pity like a shroud of heavy ash Until the hunger split my ribs and turned my soul to trash [Deepening Rasp] I taste your terror on the wind, hot and thick and sweet Now every shadow in the trees is hunting at my feet [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up, Heavy Orchestral Strings, Intense Drums] Listen to the black pines splinter Listen to the marrow sing The moon bleeds out across the snow [Shouted] And I devour everything! [Chorus] [Explosive Heavy Drop, Aggressive Metal Vocals] I am the oath you broke! I am the teeth in the dark! Run, little saint, run fast! Leave your blood for a mark! [Backing Echoes] (They called my name) [Backing Echoes] (I tore the gate) [Backing Echoes] (Too late to pray) [Bridge] [Tempo Slows, Intimate Creepy Whisper, Distorted Sub-Bass] Kneel down in the wet earth... Look close into my grin... You loved the man I was before... Now taste what lived within... [Vocal Snarl, Building Intensity] No warmth left in my chest! No mercy in this breath! The night puts on my heavy skin... [Shriek/Death Growl] And the wolf demands its flesh! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic Heavy Guitar, Fast Distorted Riffs, Dark Gothic Strings] [Outro] [Slow Heavy Drums, Dark Ambient Whispers] Run, little saint... Press your back against the wood... Feel my breath upon your throat... I never was good... [Deep Monster Growl] I am the moonfang oath. [Ending - Heavy panting, low reverberating bass hum, Fade Out]
