Lyrics
(The mirror doesn’t lie... it just waits.)
[Reverse whispers and broken glass textures]
You called the night… and it came.
[Verse 1, Clean Male Vocals, Gothic Rock Groove]
I lit the candles in a circle of dust
Spoke your name with a voice I don't trust
Something moved inside the flame
Now nothing's ever felt the same
Shadows crawl up the back of my spine
I hear your voice echo through time
Was it love, or was it fate?
Now it’s too late to close the gate
[Pre-Chorus, Falsetto Layers, Tension Build]
You looked like hope — in a funeral veil
I saw forever in your betrayal
You left your mark beneath my skin
Let the darkness pull me in
[Chorus, Heavy Guitar Drop, Screamed and Sung Vocals Combined]
Take what you want from the ashes in the mirror
Drag me down where the cold is clearer
Whisper my name in the void you bled
I’m not alive, I’m just undead
Fall through the cracks where the dream decayed
This love was real — until you prayed
Take what you want — but don’t pretend
You didn’t know how this would end
[Verse 2, Growled Vocals + Clean Duet, Midtempo Groove]
You haunt me soft like a prayer
With broken wings and vacant stares
I built a life from haunted bones
But you still sleep beneath my throne
There’s something holy in this sin
You cut the locks and let them in
I kissed your mouth — it burned like snow
You smiled and said, “Now let it go”
[Bridge, Slow Doom Breakdown + Choir, Spoken Male Voice]
(You never leave the place where you died)
(You just keep walking in circles... eyes wide)
[Choral harmony on a minor key melody]
No gods to save us, no light remains
Only this silence that still knows your name
[Final Chorus, Key Modulation, Full Instrumentation, Layered Vocals]
Take what you want from the ashes in the mirror
Drag me down where the cold is clearer
Whisper my name in the void you bled
I’m not alive, I’m just undead
Fall through the cracks where the dream decayed
This love was real — until you prayed
Take what you want — and seal the door
You raised the dead... now hear them roar
[Outro, Ambient Guitar Fade, Choir Echo, Clock Ticking]
…ashes in the mirror…
…you took what you came for…
…now they want more…
