Mud in my mouth, lungs full of rot Nails split wood where the moon forgot Coffin cracked with a screaming breath You tried to teach me silence with death Cypress sway like they know my name Swamp holds secrets, remembers pain I rise slow from the swallowed ground Still breathing where you put me down Blood on my lips, I wipe it thin I stand where the grave caves in You step back once, then swing again Too late to choose who I’ve been You thought the dark would finish me Thought the deep would keep me still But the earth remembers everything And it remembers my will I step forward, you sink down The dark closes all around Say my name as it comes near This is what you buried here Every breath you take is mine Every pulse bends into time You buried me alive, confined Now you stay where depths entwine We clash knee-deep in choking black You strike first, I strike back You call me monster, call me wrong You shaped me when you buried me strong I don’t rush, I don’t retreat I close the space with steady feet You feel it shift before you fall This isn’t anger this is law Mosquito song, the water still The swamp leans in against your will You beg the dark to look away It doesn’t answer when you pray You hear it now inside your chest The truth you tried to hide I was never meant to rest I was meant to rise I step forward, you sink down The dark closes all around Say my name as it comes near This is what you buried here Every breath you take is mine Every pulse bends into time You buried me alive, confined Now you stay where depths entwine The air goes thin, the water tight Shadows multiply the night Hands on arms, on throat, on skin Not one many closing in I break one hold, I break two more But numbers drive me to the floor I stay upright out of spite Still standing as they bind me tight I step... They pull... The dark... Closes... [MORRIGRA] Something’s wrong... I feel her fading... No... No... [CALYX MORTAINE] The thread is tearing... The mark is moving... She’s not still... [MORRIGRA] Say her name... Hold the line... Say her name... Hold the line... Stay... [CALYX] This was a snare... Not the end... Breathe... Vyre... Stay... Breathe...
