**Space Witch** [Intro – cold cosmic wind + soft pulse] (whisper) I don’t live among the stars… I am what the stars fear. [Verse 1] I ride the leftover light of dead suns My shadow stretches across empty years No map can hold the places I’ve been No prayer can reach me here I collect the silence between galaxies And wear it like a second skin Every black hole I’ve kissed Still tastes of where I’ve been [Pre-Chorus] I need no broom I need no flame The void is my cathedral And it knows my name [Chorus] Space Witch Drifting where the light gives out Space Witch Turning hope into doubt I sleep inside collapsing stars I wake when systems fail Space Witch The last thing the dark will ever tell [Verse 2] I’ve watched whole worlds forget themselves I’ve heard the final breath of suns I’ve held the cold of absolute zero And made it feel like home No gravity owns me No orbit keeps me near I am the question with no answer The witch who disappears [Pre-Chorus] I need no coven I need no moon The cosmos is my circle And it ends too soon [Chorus] Space Witch Drifting where the light gives out Space Witch Turning hope into doubt I sleep inside collapsing stars I wake when systems fail Space Witch The last thing the dark will ever tell [Bridge – slow, almost weightless] (soft, intimate) If you see a shimmer Where no star should be… If you hear your name In the static of the sea… Look away. Don’t answer. I’m only passing through And I take what I want. [Final Chorus – colder and larger] Space Witch Queen of the places left behind Space Witch The thought you cannot find I drink the radiation I breathe the ancient dust Space Witch In the end… the void is just [Outro – fading into silence] (whisper) …me.
