Gaze of the Void by Cordelia Cross

“Gaze of the Void” by Cordelia Cross
A haunting descent into existential surrender—where searching for truth in darkness leads not to answers, but to transformation. A chilling anthem of becoming what once was feared.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I watched the dark with quiet breath,
A seeker dancing close to death.
I thought the silence held the key,
But it opened up and swallowed me.
It didn’t scream, it didn’t fight,
It simply stared and stole the light.
I gave it all, I bared my soul,
Now I’m not sure what’s in control.

[Pre-Chorus]
I searched for truth in the endless black,
But now I feel it staring back.

[Chorus]
I’m the flame that tried to light the cold,
The voice that cracked in stories told.
I reached into the dark to find some peace,
But became the void I tried to release.
It saw me clear, stripped me bare—
Now I’m not alone… it’s always there.

[Verse 2]
I thought I could survive the fall,
But the abyss remembers all.
It learned my name, it knew my face,
It never flinched, just took my place.
Now I walk with hollow eyes,
Wearing skin that barely lies.
No savior waits at journey’s end,
Just the echo that calls me “friend.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I stared too long and lost my name,
Now I’m the mirror in its frame.

[Chorus]
I’m the flame that tried to light the cold,
The voice that cracked in stories told.
I reached into the dark to find some peace,
But became the void I tried to release.
It saw me clear, stripped me bare—
Now I’m not alone… it’s always there.

[Bridge]
I thought I could endure the stare,
But you can't unsee what’s waiting there.
I sought the dark, I bled for truth,
But all it gave was a fractured youth.

[Final Chorus]
I’m the flame that tried to light the cold,
The voice that cracked in stories told.
I reached into the dark to find some peace,
But became the void I tried to release.
It saw me clear, stripped me bare—
Now I’m not alone… it’s always there.

“Gaze of the Void” dares to peer into the abyss—and finds not horror, but recognition. A cathartic exploration of surrender, identity, and the shadows that live inside us all.
