The black current corrodes identity, divinity, memory, flesh... everything but truth. The baptism is agony, clarity, rebirth: the moment she accepts the rust, the corrosion, the breaking-apart of the old self, so the new one can rise. [Intro 2] I come to the water’s edge with nothing but the weight you gave me, Every name you carved into my bones humming like haunted wires. The river calls... not gentle, not forgiving... Its voice is iron grinding against iron, a promise of endings… and of truth. [Verse 1] I step into the Styx and the black water climbs my skin, Stripping color, stripping memory, peeling me down to iron. Every echo of who I was dissolves into the current... Names drowning one by one beneath the rusted tide. [Pre-Chorus] The water climbs my throat... The old voice fractures... And still… I descend. [Chorus] Baptize me in rust... let the old form break! Let the river unmake me, take all it must take! In the Styx I dissolve, in the Styx I ignite... I shed my shadow’s name and rise forged in spite. [Verse 2] The river swallows my doubts like bones sinking into tar, It devours every version of me they tried to keep alive. I let the black water scour my spirit down to steel... If I must be remade, let it be by my own will. [Pre-Chorus] The current takes my breath... But finally… I breathe. [Chorus] Baptize me in rust... let the old form break! Let the river unmake me, take all it must take! In the Styx I dissolve, in the Styx I ignite... I shed my shadow’s name and rise forged in spite. [Bridge] I watch my reflection split, One sinking… One rising… And for the first time, I choose the one that lives. [Final Chorus] Baptize me in rust... break the chains I wore! Let the river devour what is mine no more! I rise from the Styx with the truth in my veins... Reborn in iron, unbound by their names. [Outro] I walk from the river... clean of everything but myself. β•žβ•β•β•β•β—‡ βš™ ◇════║ Β  Thank You For Listening β•žβ•β•β•β•β—‡ βš™ ◇════║
