In the Dark (Nova Gothia Foregone Rework)

[Spoken Intro] In the dark, where the sirens never sleep In the dark, where the city hides its teeth Every shadow is a promise, every whisper is a mark We are hunters, we are heralds, we are voices in the dark (Yeah) In the dark In the dark [Verse 1] Concrete veins are pulsing rust and rain Neon halos crown the eyes of shame Every corner holds a loaded spark Broken mirrors breeding double hearts Silent footfalls stalk the silver streets Every echo drags a chain of grief September shivers like a dying star Bleeding color into painted scars [Pre-Chorus] Hear the calling from the underground Distant thunder in a sleepless town Every heartbeat is a coded arc We are waking in the quiet dark [Chorus] In the dark we rise, in the dark we burn Choirs of the fallen sing with worlds that turn Voices cut like knives through the smoke and sparks All our hidden hearts beating in the dark In the dark we shine, in the dark we roar Standing at the edge of a crimson dawn Every broken soul leaves a blazing mark When we sing as one in the burning dark [Verse 2] Steel and embers, teeth of crooked skies Flashing sirens write our alibis Under streetlights bent like guilty crowns Silent poets wear their shadows down Every secret is a loaded gun Every rumor is a setting sun Painted faces in the haunted park Trading memories for a little spark [Pre-Chorus] Hear the rhythm in the pounding rain Drums of war inside a veiled domain Every heartbeat is a coded arc We are marching through the hollow dark [Chorus] In the dark we rise, in the dark we burn Choirs of the fallen sing with worlds that turn Voices cut like knives through the smoke and sparks All our hidden hearts beating in the dark In the dark we shine, in the dark we roar Standing at the edge of a crimson dawn Every broken soul leaves a blazing mark When we sing as one in the burning dark [Bridge] (Spoken-growl) In the dark, I hear the names you tried to hide In the dark, I see the ghosts behind your eyes Every wound you stitched with borrowed light Bursts open like a starless night (growl) Raise your scars like banners to the void Let the silence be destroyed We are more than just the fragments pulled apart We are thunder in a failing heart [Breakdown] In the dark, we will not break Feel the earth begin to shake Double drums like falling stone Crush the cages, crack the throne In the dark, we claim our fate Shatter fear and sever hate From the ashes, stark and stark We are flames that crown the dark [Chorus] In the dark we rise, in the dark we burn Choirs of the fallen sing with worlds that turn Voices cut like knives through the smoke and sparks All our hidden hearts beating in the dark In the dark we shine, in the dark we roar Standing at the edge of a crimson dawn Every broken soul leaves a blazing mark When we sing as one in the burning dark [Outro] (Growled) In the dark, we are endless In the dark, we are fire Crushing suns beneath our footsteps Halftime hearts that never tire As the final embers arc We remain In the dark
