Realm Anthem

Can't see through, breathe out. Heartbeat pounding, shadows whisper my name. Cold face reflection playing a cursed game. Empty alleys screaming in the clutches of pain. Chain-smoking secrets, nothing left to frame. Hoodie dipped in twilight, moonlight my dome. Concrete a battleground, this city my home. Demons sitting passenger, never riding alone. Prayers in the wind sounds hollow as stone. Darkness crawling deep, can't outrun the night. Battle scars stack, try to bleed out the fight. Soul moth-eaten, black wings in flight. Struggle wears a crown, my kingdom's contrite. My kingdom's contrite. Silhouettes dancing where the lampposts shake. Broken glass sermons, heavy truths they make. Razor blade choir singing songs of the fake. Cold cuts through bones, a debt I can't unmake. Keys in the lock, but the door won't hear. Echoes in the chambers, living off fear. Pandora's chest open, secrets lay near. Facing my reflection, truth sharp and clear. Ashes swirling slow from this storm I rose. Bruised fists clenched as the concrete rose grows. Night swallowed my light, but I still compose. Grip death by the throat, even shadows oppose. Even shadows oppose.
