Footsteps in the midnight A pulse beneath the street Something wears a heartbeat But never feels the heat White eyes flash behind the glass Too fast to follow, built to last A perfect face, a crooked grin You never know what lives within One breath One sound A shadow hits the ground No warning No trace Just hunger wearing grace Run through the red light Cut through the rain Feel every instinct Rattle the cage No time for mercy No room to fail When something starts moving Behind the veil Bite the veil Break through the night Steel in our hands Fire in our eyes Strike before the silence wakes Move before the darkness takes Blood runs cold But we never kneel Hunt what hides Bite the veil Bite Bite the veil Move Before it moves Black coats tearing through the wind Another chase is closing in Claws strike sparks against the stone No one survives the dark alone A heel turns A blade swings The city never hears a thing Fangs bare Bones shake One clean hit is all it takes Crash through the doorway Fall through the smoke Every illusion Breaks when it bleeds No saints above us No fear below Only the distance Between strike and blow Bite the veil Break through the night Steel in our hands Fire in our eyes Strike before the silence wakes Move before the darkness takes Blood runs cold But we never kneel Hunt what hides Bite the veil What looks alive May never have lived What wears a smile May only mimic it So count every breath And watch every door The shape in the mirror Is moving once more Teeth against steel Hand against claw No clean victory No higher law Hit Turn Never lose sight Fall Rise Go back to the fight Bite the veil Tear through the night Steel in our hands Fire in our eyes Strike before the silence wakes Move before the darkness takes Let the whole black skyline shake We are the line They cannot break Blood runs cold But we never kneel Hunt what hides Bite the veil Footsteps fade at sunrise No mark upon the street Something lost its heartbeat The city stays asleep
