Witch Fire

Lyrics

[Intro - low tribal drums, distant cinematic strings, whispered female chants, ritual fire crackling]
Ash in the moonlight, bones in the ground
Hear the old names crawling up from the sound
Hands in the smoke, eyes full of flame
I call the night, and it answers my name

[Verse 1 - heavy industrial pulse, distorted low guitars, shamanic percussion, sinister female lead]
Circle the pyre, draw the black line
Blood in the ember, cursed by design
I wear the storm like a crown made of thorn
Born from the ruin, unholy and worn
Voices in the ash, they bend and they break
Every dark vow is a soul I can take
Step into shadow, kneel to the fire
Feed the abyss, and awaken desire

[Pre-Chorus - rising strings, layered choir, tension building, fierce whispered harmonies]
Can you feel it?
The ground is shaking
Can you hear them?
The dead are waking
One breath closer
To the edge of the night
One spark, one scream
And the world ignites

[Chorus - explosive industrial nu metal, pounding drums, monstrous choir, aggressive female vocals]
Witch fire, burn it down
Let the heavens crack, let the saints all drown
Witch fire, tear the sky
I am the rage in the ember eye
Witch fire, call my name
I am the smoke, I am the blade in the flame
Witch fire, rise, consume
Dance with the dark in the sacrificial room

[Verse 2 - harsher guitars, tribal toms, cinematic low brass, sinister spoken-word and sung lines]
I walked through the ruins of a thousand prayers
Left only echoes in the poisoned air
Blackened the altar, shattered the light
Turned every mercy into a knife
The wolves at my heels sing a funeral hymn
The moon goes blind when the shadows begin
I am the curse in the mouth of the wind
I am the ending where the suffering spins

[Pre-Chorus - choir swelling, industrial hits, urgent female vocal layering]
Can you feel it?
The flames are climbing
Can you hear it?
The bells are dying
One breath closer
To the edge of the night
One spark, one scream
And the world ignites

[Chorus - full force, bigger choir stack, crushing rhythm guitars, screamed ad-libs]
Witch fire, burn it down
Let the heavens crack, let the saints all drown
Witch fire, tear the sky
I am the rage in the ember eye
Witch fire, call my name
I am the smoke, I am the blade in the flame
Witch fire, rise, consume
Dance with the dark in the sacrificial room

[Bridge - stripped back choir, ritual hand drums, eerie strings, haunting female chant]
Hush now, the veil is thin
The serpent breathes beneath my skin
Hush now, the night is near
I wear the crown of smoke and fear
From the roots of hell to the edge of dawn
I drag the curse where the weak are gone
No mercy left, no God to save
Only the fire, only the grave

[Breakdown - syncopated industrial hits, detuned guitars, shouted chants, tribal stomps]
Burn
Burn
BURN IT
Let it fall
Let it crawl
Let the black flame call
Burn
Burn
BURN IT
On the skin of the world
Let the wicked unfurl

[Final Chorus - maximum intensity, choir, distortion, aggressive female lead with stacked harmonies]
Witch fire, burn it down
Let the heavens crack, let the saints all drown
Witch fire, tear the sky
I am the rage in the ember eye
Witch fire, call my name
I am the smoke, I am the blade in the flame
Witch fire, rise, consume
Dance with the dark in the sacrificial room

[Outro - fading chants, distant strings, embers crackling, ghostly female whispers]
Ash in the moonlight, bones in the ground
The old names sleep, but they still make a sound
Witch fire... witch fire...
In the dark, I am found
