Intro — slow solitary footsteps on pavement] [Cold wind rises] [Verse 1] Footsteps cutting through the cold Following a trail that disappeared Something moving past the tree line Something I can feel but never hear Black as midnight in the glass Roasted coffee burning through A shadow standing in the distance Like it knows I’m watching too [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been chasing this for years Now the darkness brought it near [Chorus] Imperial Heavy as the truth coming down Imperial Thick black body, bitter crown High proof fire moving slowly No disguise and nothing held back I finally found what I was hunting And there’s no turning back [Verse 2] Heavy foam above the darkness Holding thick against the rim Coffee, smoke, and roasted barley Something wild is breathing in Every swallow leaves a footprint Every step pulls me below There are monsters in these woods There are legends in this foam [Pre-Chorus] I can feel it getting close I can taste it in the roast [Chorus] Imperial Heavy as the truth coming down Imperial Thick black body, bitter crown High proof fire moving slowly No disguise and nothing held back I finally found what I was hunting And there’s no turning back [Bridge — close-mic vocal] Maybe I was never hunting him Maybe he was leading me Through the cold and through the silence To the thing I couldn’t see One dark glass One final trail One towering shadow Beyond the veil [Explosive Final Chorus] Imperial Hear the heavy footsteps now Imperial Darkness wearing a foaming crown High ABV and unforgiving Roasted black and built to last I finally found what I was hunting Now the legend’s in my glass Imperial Doesn’t bend and doesn’t hide Imperial Feel the fire come alive No restraint and no surrender Every drop attacks I finally got what I came for And it doesn’t hold back
