(Intro – distant raven caw, dark wind, atmospheric synths) (Raven caw in the distance) ...silence... (Whispered vocal) The night is calling... (...pause...) (Deep bass slowly rising) neon ghosts in broken light. Footsteps echo in the alleys where the city fears the night. Verse 1 Every shadow hides a secret, every heartbeat tastes like sin. Something ancient wakes inside you— feel it crawling under skin. Pre-Chorus Hear the pounding in your veins now, feel the darkness pulling in. (Soft choir rising in background) Chorus Blood beneath the skin – hear the call of the night! Burning shadows dancing wild in the light. No more prayers, no mercy left to defend, when the hunger in your heart won’t end. (Choir – behind lead vocal) Noctis… sanguis… aeternum… Blood beneath the skin – feel the fire arise! Broken angels burning deep in your eyes. Between life and death we stand in the storm, and the night whispers low: you belong. (Short pause – heavy bass drop) Verse 2 Blackened roses on the graves, cold wind singing through the stones. Every love becomes a scar, every dream a set of bones. Ancient kings inside the darkness watch the centuries decay. But the emptiness within them never truly fades away. (Heavy Gothic-Rock Break – distorted guitars enter) Dark fire in the veins tonight, steel and thunder in the rain. Every heartbeat like a war drum echoing the ancient pain. Raise the shadows, break the silence, let the crimson rivers flow. When the night begins its rising all the world will finally know. (Pause – heavy bass drop) Pre-Chorus Hear the beast inside you breathing, hear it scratching at the door. (Choir slowly building again) Chorus Blood beneath the skin – hear the call of the night! Burning shadows dancing wild in the light. No salvation waiting under the sun, only darkness when the night has begun. (Choir) Noctis… sanguis… aeternum… Blood beneath the skin – feel the fire arise! Fallen angels living deep in your eyes. Between heaven and hell we stand alone, and the night claims back its own. (Bridge – instrumental break, raven cry, distorted synths) (Whispered vocal) The night… remembers... (Final Chorus – epic, full choir) Blood beneath the skin – hear the call of the night! All the shadows rising up in the fight. No redemption, no forgiveness to find, only crowns made of eternal night. (Full choir) Noctis! Noctis! Sanguis aeternum! Blood beneath the skin – hear the final cry! When the darkness spreads its wings, we will fly. And the stars fall burning out of the sky— but the children of the night never die. (Outro – slow fade, choir fading) Noctis… aeternum… (Single raven caw) ...silence...
