The Awakening
Lyrics
[Opening - slow deep bass, dark ambient pads, breathy whispered female vocals over trap hi-hats]
He slips through the glass like smoke through a crack
Cloaked in shadows, a blade in his back
My veins run cold but my blood starts to burn
One look from the dark and the whole world turns
[Verse 1 - moody trap beat, deep 808 bass, pitched-down male echoes, raw female rap with gritty edge]
I was born with the spark, now the spark is dying slow
Gods turned their backs, left a girl in the snow
They swore I’d be safe, swore the light would defend
But the night found a way and it never pretends
He tasted like danger, like blood on my tongue
Every inch of my skin said I shouldn’t have come
Yet I leaned in closer when the terror ran deep
Let the sin kiss my lips while the whole world fell asleep
[Pre-Chorus - layered ethereal harmonies, sidechained bass, rising tension]
I feel the fire, I feel the freeze
Caught between heaven and hell on my knees
He owns every breath I can barely breathe
[Chorus - full band explosion, distorted guitars, massive 808s, aggressive soulful female belts with rap ad-libs]
Take me to the dark, let the light fade away
I’m already gone, ain’t no price left to pay
Gods have no mercy for girls made of flame
So I’ll burn with the king who knows sin by its name
I’m his now, forever, no chains left to break
Underworld lover, I choose the mistake
He lit up the shadows where mercy won’t go
I’m Persephone’s daughter, but tonight I’m his own
[Verse 2 - glitchy dark production, heavy distortion, hard-hitting drums, breathy aggressive female rap]
Spells in the air, war drums in the night
He rules every soul with a crown made of ice
I was raised to be pure, now the purity’s gone
I’m learning the language the dead speak in tongues
He pulls me in tighter, teeth on my throat
I moan for the monster, I beg for the ghost
Power is fading but this hunger won’t die
I’m trading my heaven for the taste of his lie
[Bridge - stripped-back piano and reverb-drenched vocals, vulnerable emotional female delivery]
They warned me of forks in the long winding road
Now I’m standing at midnight with nowhere to go
Light calls my name but the dark feels like home
I’d rather be owned than forever alone
[Drop / Final Chorus - massive bass drop, full band, distorted female vocals, intense layered harmonies, hard aggressive energy]
Take me to the dark, let the light fade away
I’m already gone, ain’t no price left to pay
Gods have no mercy for girls made of flame
So I’ll burn with the king who knows sin by its name
I’m his now, forever, no chains left to break
Underworld lover, I choose the mistake
He lit up the shadows where mercy won’t go
I’m Persephone’s daughter, but tonight I’m his own
