1. Whispers in the Manor

Spoken Intro In halls where moonlight dies in dust, The past does not sleep. It waits. It remembers. It calls its blood home. Verse 1 Broken portraits line the walls Cracked with time and old downfall Every frame a watching eye Every silence hides a cry Dust like ash on splintered stone In this house I’m not alone Floorboards breathe beneath my feet Like a dead heart’s dying beat Verse 2 Shadows stretch through fractured glass Graves of memory from the past Names once spoken now returned By the candle’s wavering burn Something stirs behind the air Cold as prayer and twice as bare In the dark the old vows stir And the night remembers her Chorus Whispers in the manor Calling from below Secrets in the timber Roots that will not let go Whispers in the manor Under skin and bone Every step I take here Leads me farther from home Verse 3 There inside the clockwork spine Hidden deep by blood and time Lay a tear of blackened flame And the darkness knew my name With one touch the silence broke Every curse the old house spoke Every ghost I never knew Turned and said, we waited for you Chorus Whispers in the manor Calling from below Secrets in the timber Roots that will not let go Whispers in the manor Under skin and bone Every step I take here Leads me farther from home Outro The door has opened The blood has heard The dead are waking Without a word
