Black Moon Pact

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came in through the side door rain
With a silver coin and a borrowed name
Your eyes were a locked-up hotel room
Full of broken saints and a violet moon
The floorboards knew my restless feet
The ashtray held your memory
You said, “Boy, if you stay too long
You’ll learn how the dark can sing a song”

Pre-Chorus
So I followed
Through the smoke and the slow-lit hall
You were waiting
Like a storm in a mirror-ball
And I heard it
In the hush between your sighs
Some kind of fate
With a knife in its disguise

Chorus
Black moon pact, take my hand
We were made for this trembling land
Black moon pact, stay with me
Burn the fear and set us free
(Black moon pact)
(Black moon pact)

Verse 2
Down by the river of broken glass
We watched old miracles drift past
A paper crown, a rusted key
A thousand names nobody frees
You wore your hurt like velvet thread
I wore my sins like words unsaid
Still when you moved, the shadows turned
Like every wound had something to learn

Pre-Chorus
So I leaned in
Let the midnight call my name
You were glowing
In the blue of a hidden flame
And the night said
What the daylight never would
That even lost hearts
Can still do something good

Chorus
Black moon pact, take my hand
We were made for this trembling land
Black moon pact, stay with me
Burn the fear and set us free
(Black moon pact)
(Black moon pact)

Bridge
Now the sky cracks open slow
And the old ghosts lose their hold
I was hollow, I was bruised
Till your wild light pulled me through
If the world comes down in waves
We’ll dance on its shattered graves
Hand in hand, we’ll cross that fire
Louder than the night
Higher, higher

Final Chorus
Black moon pact, take my hand
We were made for this trembling land
Black moon pact, stay with me
Burn the fear and set us free
Black moon pact, hear us rise
Out of ash and into sky
Black moon pact, you and me
Born in dark, but meant to be
(Black moon pact)
(Black moon pact)
