Brood of Dead Suns

V5.5

[Intro] Hush. The sky is laying eggs. [Verse 1] I coil through the black where no prayer can cling My scales are the night between dying rings Each breath is a winter that swallows a name I leave what the light will forget Cold nurseries bloom deep in my chest Gold yolks of fire that will never rest I do not sing lullabies — I unmake the dark And wait for a heartbeat to spark [Pre-Chorus] Hush… the membrane is thinning One more silence before the tear [Chorus] Brood of dead suns, I carry you still Unhatched forever, born of my will No dawn is promised, no victory hymn Only the patience of a mother of night Hold — till the next egg splits the night Hold — I am the sky that learned to bite [Verse 2] They named me a goddess, they named me a grave I am only the womb that the void gave Galaxies burn in the heat of my throat I swallow the stars that cannot float A thousand dead constellations cling To the shadow beneath my wing I count them in pulses, I count them in years And feed them the salt of unshed tears [Pre-Chorus] Hush… the sky is oviparous One more silence before the tear [Chorus] Brood of dead suns, I carry you still Unhatched forever, born of my will No dawn is promised, no victory hymn Only the patience of a mother of night Hold — till the next egg splits the night Hold — I am the sky that learned to bite [Bridge] If hope is a crack in an infinite shell Let it be small, let it come late I will not rush the fire into hell I will not name the child of fate Sleep, little furnaces, deep in my spine The universe waits in a line [Guitar Solo] [Neoclassical symphonic metal guitar solo] [Fast melodic lead guitar] [Orchestral accompaniment] [Building tension into final chorus] [Final Chorus] Brood of dead suns, I carry you still Unhatched forever, born of my will No crown, no kingdom, no merciful light Only the long night that learns to ignite Hold — till the next egg splits the night Hold — I am the sky that learned to give life [Outro] Hush. The next one is coming.
