THE RED MOON'S KING Verse 1 I saw him standing where the shadows breathe, A darkened crown beneath the dying trees. The ravens scattered when he raised his eyes, Like they already knew what lived inside. They call him Silas in a whispered prayer, Like speaking his name means he's suddenly there. The children fear him, the old ones kneel, And every warning only makes him real. Pre-Chorus He moves like a memory older than time, A beautiful curse I should leave behind. But the closer I get, the harder I fall, Into the darkness consuming it all. Chorus And I can't look away from the red moon king, When he calls my name, I feel everything. There's a fire in his eyes and death in his grin, And I know I should run, but I'm pulled back in. They call him Silas when the night begins, Blood god sleeping underneath his skin. Every part of me knows I should leave, But I keep falling to my knees. Verse 2 He told me he'd seen a thousand wars, Before my world had opened its doors. He walked through cathedrals when they were young, And carries forgotten centuries on his tongue. The white moon shines like an innocent lie, But he only laughs and points to the sky. "The red moon rises when the truth appears," And somehow that was my greatest fear. Pre-Chorus He feels like the end and the start of a storm, Like every forbidden thing taking form. I know he's the monster stories became, Yet I keep whispering his name. Chorus And I can't look away from the red moon king, When he calls my name, I feel everything. There's a fire in his eyes and death in his grin, And I know I should run, but I'm pulled back in. They call him Silas when the night begins, Blood god sleeping underneath his skin. Every part of me knows I should leave, But I keep falling to my knees. Bridge Maybe heaven never wanted me. Maybe darkness was my destiny. If he's a curse, then let it be. I'd rather burn than never see. The truth beneath the crimson light. The king who owns the endless night. Breakdown Bow to the red moon. Bow to the king. Every heartbeat belongs to him. Bow to the red moon. Bow to the king. And if I fall... Let the darkness win. Final Chorus I can't look away from the red moon king, When he pulls me close, I feel everything. The world disappears in the space between, His eternity and my fading dream. They call him Silas when the night begins, Blood god waking underneath his skin. And maybe my soul was never free... Maybe it always belonged to him. 🩸🌙🦇
