[Verse 1] The night came down in ash and flame, And left him with a broken name. His wife, his children, all were gone, And still he walked beneath the dawn. He swore upon the empty sky, He’d make the ones who killed them die. Beyond the lands where mortals roam, He sought the ancient dead alone. [Pre-Chorus] Deep beneath a mountain stone, An ancient vampire ruled alone. It offered blood, it offered night, And gave him strength beyond a man. [Chorus] Give me your darkness, give me your night, Give me the strength to finish the fight. I’ll trade my soul, I’ll trade my name, I’ll become the monster born from flame. Let kingdoms fall, let mountains shake, For every life they chose to take. I’ll bring their golden kingdom down, And leave no shadow on their crown. [Verse 2] He called the dragon from the sky, A beast of fire that learned to fly. Together they crossed the burning air, And brought their vengeance to the lair. The towers fell, the banners burned, The throne became a grave in turn. The wicked crown was swept away, And nothing stood at break of day. [Chorus] Give me your darkness, give me your night, I gave my soul to win the fight. The crown is broken, vengeance done, But in the ashes there was none. [Bridge] A thousand years he walked alone, Through fallen lands and kingdoms gone. He could not die, he could not grieve, He had no reason left to live. He won the war. He lost his soul. [Outro] No wife to hold, no child to call, No home, no heart, no love at all. He had become the thing he feared, A shadow of the man who once lived here.
