[Verse 1] They cut my wings before I knew the sky, Taught me how to smile, taught me how to lie. Cold floors, cheap wine, borrowed name, I learned real quick how to swallow pain. Ten candles flickered, wish too small, That’s when the knight walked through it all. Didn’t touch me, didn’t stare, Knelt like freedom was standing there. [Pre-Chorus] Silver ring, a blade in my hand, Said, “You’re more than what they planned.” Count the years, wait your time, Dark remembers so will you [Chorus] I was never meant to break, I was never meant to stay. They tried to own my breath, my name, Now the night knows my face. Wings of dark, stars undone, I’m the mother, I’m the one. Say my name, feel the shatter I am the Void, [Verse 2] Owner screamed, said “She’s mine,” Steel moved faster than his crime. Chains hit dirt, blood hit wood, First free breath felt way too good. He raised me on truth and flame, Taught me mercy, taught me aim. Kings fell quiet where he stood, Crowned by scars, not holy blood. [Pre-Chorus 2] Eighteen years, the dark came back, Wings of night across my back. Void in my lungs when I breathe, Now the stars move when I speak. [Chorus] I was never meant to break, I was never meant to stay. They tried to own my breath, my name, Now the night knows my face. Wings of dark, stars undone, I’m the mother, I’m the one. Say my name, feel the shatter I am the Void, [Bridge] “Go on, little queen,” he said, “Take the dark, remember the dead.” I claimed the dunes, I chose my throne, Gave life where I’d been alone. Then I came back only ash, Another crown, another match. They laughed, said he deserved the knife… That’s when night swallowed the sky. [Final Chorus] I don’t scream, I don’t beg, I let silence collect its debt. One year to kneel, one year to see, What fear feels like inside of me. I didn’t strike, I let it scatter, Made him walk what I remembered. If you ask why worlds go black I’m the Void, and I don’t turn back.
