GOD OF THE SUN, SON OF THE MOON [Intro: distant choir, low guitar drone, heartbeat-like war drums] I was born where the night held dominion Where the silver sky swallowed the flame But something beneath all that darkness Was already calling my name [Verse 1: low clean vocal, stalking rhythm] Black fur beneath a dying heaven Red eyes staring through the cold Moonlight crawling down my shoulders Like a story I was told They said, “Stay beneath the shadows” “Know the blood from which you came” But I felt something in my marrow That the night could never name There was heat beneath the silence There was daylight in my veins And every time the darkness claimed me I came back wearing flames [Pre-Chorus: building drums, layered vocals] I am not the light you pray for I am not the gentle dawn I am what burns behind the eclipse When you thought the sun was gone [Chorus: massive melodic metalcore] GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON Born in the dark, but I burned through Crown me in fire Black out the sky Watch every shadow ignite in my eyes I carry the night But daylight is mine A wolf in the corona where heaven divides GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON The night gave me life— BUT THE FIRE MADE ME WHO I AM [Verse 2: heavier, palm-muted guitars] I learned the language of eclipses How two kingdoms share one sky How the brightest thing in heaven Can disappear but never die So let the moon stand at my shoulder Let her silver touch my scars I have never hated darkness It taught me how to find the stars But I will not kneel beneath it I will not inherit chains I took every ounce of midnight And taught the dark to carry flames [Pre-Chorus 2: harsh backing vocals underneath] There is no war between them No betrayal in my blood I am midnight meeting morning I am both—and I am enough [Chorus] GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON Born in the dark, but I burned through Crown me in fire Black out the sky Watch every shadow ignite in my eyes I carry the night But daylight is mine A wolf in the corona where heaven divides GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON The night gave me life— BUT THE FIRE MADE ME WHO I AM [Breakdown: guitars drop low, enormous half-time drums] [Harsh vocal] LET THE SKY GO BLACK I DON'T NEED YOUR DAWN I'VE GOT A SUN BURIED IN MY BONES [Gang vocals] BURN! [Harsh vocal] LET THE CORONA SHOW BURN! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW MOON AT MY BACK SUN IN MY CHEST I WASN'T BORN TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM! [Instrumental: huge solar-broadsword imagery, rising choir, lead guitar] [Bridge: clean vocal, stripped back] Mother night, you made me fearless You taught my eyes to see Every shape that hides in darkness Every thing they couldn't be Father fire, you made me restless Put the furnace in my blood Now the heavens meet inside me And neither one is lost [Build: choir joins] Moon above me Flame within me Night behind me Dawn begins— [Final Chorus: full band, octave harmonies, choir] GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON I am the bridge that the heavens drew Crown me in fire Cover the sky Let the eclipse put its halo around me tonight Silver behind me Red-gold ahead Daylight and darkness both answer instead GOD OF THE SUN SON OF THE MOON I came from the night— AND I CARRY THE MORNING WITH ME [Final Breakdown / Outro] [Gang vocals] SON OF THE MOON! [Harsh vocal] I remember where I came from! [Gang vocals] GOD OF THE SUN! [Harsh vocal] BUT I CHOOSE WHAT I BECOME! [All vocals] WHEN THE WHOLE SKY GOES DARK— LOOK FOR THE FIRE AROUND ME! [Final sustained guitar hit] I AM THE ECLIPSE.
