Covens

Lyrics

[Intro - ritual drums, low drones, distant thunder, shadowed female whispers]
Ooooh...
In the ash of the old world, I kneel by the flame,
Draw the sigils in silence, call the void by its name.
Bone and bramble, blood and stone,
I wake the dark that sleeps below the throne.

[Verse 1 - sinister industrial pulse, bowed strings, dry tom hits, haunting female lead]
Through the hollow of midnight, I cross the blackened wood,
Where the crows keep the secrets that the innocent never understood.
Pages breathe in the candle smoke,
Every word is a wound, every prayer a joke.
I wear the moon like a cracked crown,
I drag the daylight underground.
With a mouth full of embers and a heart made of thorn,
I sing to the silence where the damned are born.

[Pre-Chorus - rising cinematic strings, layered chants, tension building]
Ka-rum, ka-rum, hear the circle turn,
Ka-rum, ka-rum, let the black fire burn.
Names in the marrow, ash in the eye,
Open the gate where the dead don’t die.

[Chorus - explosive industrial nu metal, massive drums, distorted bass, fierce female vocals and choir]
Covens, rise from the grimoire’s spine,
Drink the night, and make it mine.
Dark sacred hands in the serpent light,
We are the daughters of the endless night.
Covens, sing through the iron storm,
Break the seal, and become reborn.
Under the sigil, under the blade,
We are the curse that the world made.

[Verse 2 - heavier guitars, pounding kick, sinister choir accents, commanding female vocals]
I heard the earth crack open wide,
As the old gods woke on the other side.
Their teeth were silver, their eyes were flame,
They pulled my shadow and called my name.
I fed the altar with my fear,
Watched it vanish like a dying year.
Now every scream in the cathedral air
Is a thread in the web that I weave there.
No mercy blooms in this haunted grove,
Only the pulse of a deeper throve.

[Pre-Chorus - chanting intensifies, strings surge, toms roll like distant war]
Ka-rum, ka-rum, hear the circle turn,
Ka-rum, ka-rum, let the black fire burn.
Blood in the ink, and the ink in the sky,
Open the gate where the forgotten lie.

[Chorus - full power, choir stacked high, crushing guitars, ritual stomp]
Covens, rise from the grimoire’s spine,
Drink the night, and make it mine.
Dark sacred hands in the serpent light,
We are the daughters of the endless night.
Covens, sing through the iron storm,
Break the seal, and become reborn.
Under the sigil, under the blade,
We are the curse that the world made.

[Bridge - stripped back, eerie choir, distant metallic hits, vulnerable but ominous female vocal]
Oh, mother of cinders, hear my plea,
Unmake the chains that were placed on me.
If I must fall, let it be in flame,
Let the dark remember my true name.
Ooooh...
Let the veil unseal...
Ooooh...
Let the buried reveal...

[Final Chorus - maximum intensity, choir and chants, distorted guitars, cinematic brass hits]
Covens, rise from the grimoire’s spine,
Drink the night, and make it mine.
Dark sacred hands in the serpent light,
We are the daughters of the endless night.
Covens, sing through the iron storm,
Break the seal, and become reborn.
Under the sigil, under the blade,
We are the curse that the world made.

[Outro - fading drones, whispered chants, reverb-soaked female vocals, distant choral decay]
Ka-rum... ka-rum...
Black pages turn in the throat of time,
Ka-rum... ka-rum...
The covens sleep, but the fire is mine...
Ooooh...
Mine...
My Grimoire...
