Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Under the solstice's blazing crown,
I walked the edge, where gods come down.
A mortal flame in their sacred rite,
Drawn to the dark beneath the light.

Clawed hands encircle, whispers coil,
A voice like smoke, like burning oil.
He leads me where the shadows sway,
To dance until the break of day.

[Pre-Chorus]
His touch is fire, his breath a snare,
I feel his hunger fill the air.

[Chorus]
He cloaks me in darkness, a veil of despair,
Where flowers wilt and hope won’t dare.
But though his shadow grips my frame,
The soul within remains untamed.
I'll burn, I'll fight, through his choking might,
The devil's game won’t claim my light.

[Verse 2]
Morning comes, the gods withdraw,
But he lingers still, a living maw.
A shadow's curse, a poisoned gale,
Where I tread, the strong grow frail.

He whispers bargains in my ear,
His lies a melody of fear.
But in his hunger, he can't see,
The fire he stokes will set me free.

[Pre-Chorus]
His claws may tear, his gaze may sting,
But I’m no pawn, I’m no weak thing.

[Chorus]
He cloaks me in darkness, a veil of despair,
Where flowers wilt and hope won’t dare.
But though his shadow grips my frame,
The soul within remains untamed.
I'll burn, I'll fight, through his choking might,
The devil's game won’t claim my light.

[Bridge]
Let the shadows close, I will not bow,
This is my life, my fate, my vow.
No deal, no leash, no binding chain,
Will tether me to his domain.

[Breakdown]
Strike me down, I’ll rise anew,
A flame that devours the dark and you.
You thought I’d crumble, thought I’d break,
But my fire burns for freedom’s sake.

[Chorus]
He cloaks me in darkness, a veil of despair,
Where flowers wilt and hope won’t dare.
But though his shadow grips my frame,
The soul within remains untamed.
I'll burn, I'll fight, through his choking might,
The devil's game won’t claim my light.

[Outro]
So dance with me, oh shadow's king,
Feel the wrath my fire brings.
One night you claimed, but none remain,
For I am the storm, I am the flame.
