[Verse 1 | Descending Effect]
Darkness coils within me, let it begin,
Torrents uncaged as the fracture sinks in.
I drag you down beneath the maul,
Cast from this realm to another fall.

Ecstasy rises, your fate is sealed,
Endless decay, I never heal.
Shadows tighten around your soul,
You stepped forward — now lose control.

[Guitar Solo | Dark Bends & Rising Tension]

[Pre-Chorus | Darkness Effect]
Raindrops fall like knives from the sky,
Chaos ignites as the weak deny.
This charade has run its course,
You approach with no light, no force.

Only lies remain, no truth to save,
I’m the echo you chose to face.
Nothing binds me, nothing stays,
I burn as a ray of dismay.

[Chorus | Dark Downfall Effect]
The storm-eye opens, the end is near,
The void speaks loud — now disappear.
Step with care or fracture whole,
Every choice extracts its toll.

Darkness seeps into your mind,
No escape unless you find.
Tears fall fast, your breath grows thin,
Dark descent — your maker’s sin.

[Guitar Solo | Powerful Bends & Temptation]

[Verse 2 | Intense Struggle Effect]
Wander the ruins where faint light peers,
Hear the cries of the ones you feared.
I’m closing in, don’t try to mend,
Fight the pull — or let it end.

A new age dawns, the dark withdraws,
Your soul responds to the void’s last call.
Chaos breathes beneath our skin,
I embrace the will to live within.

[Pre-Chorus | Darkness Effect]
Raindrops fall like knives from the sky,
Chaos ignites as the weak deny.
This charade has run its course,
You approach with no light, no force.

Only lies remain, no truth to save,
I’m the echo you chose to face.
Nothing binds me, nothing stays,
I burn as a ray of dismay.

[Chorus | Dark Downfall Effect]
The storm-eye opens, the end is near,
The void speaks loud — now disappear.
Step with care or fracture whole,
Every choice extracts its toll.

Darkness seeps into your mind,
No escape unless you find.
Tears fall fast, your breath grows thin,
Dark descent — your maker’s sin.

[End | Fade Out Effect]

DARKNESS DEVOURS

Ashes Of Deceit

Call unto me — I’ll come from darkest night,
Heal me not, but let me through thy door,
And I shall sleep... in thy hands... forevermore.

# Lyrics
Call unto me — and I shall come from far…
From wastes where winter’s dirge doth never cease,
Where lights, like tears, have wept their dying star,
And in my soul dwells neither port nor peace.
I wander through these lanes of frozen stone,
The snow doth crack like parchment, old and sere;
The wind doth prowl through courtyards, dark, alone,
And buries all my footsteps, year by year.

Call unto me — not loud, nor yet in vain.
Swear not, nor judge, nor rack me with thy scorn.
For in this fathomless night, one truth is plain:
Where thou dost dwell, thither my path is sworn.
Though muddy waters flood the waking earth.
Though forget-me-nots break through the melting snow,
I’ll hear thy breath — that whisper of rebirth,
As rivers hear the sea and thither flow.

Call unto me — and I shall come in dust.
Through summer’s haze, with bitter smile worn thin,
A wanderer in whom thou still dost trust —
Ask not if I were wanted — let me in.
Long since have I become mine own estrangement.
A ghost that haunts the ruins of his name,
Yet thou, my flower beneath the moon’s soft gleam,
Dost need my warmth — and I shall be thy flame.

Call unto me — and autumn’s gold shall fall.
Like quiet knowing on my weary head.
Though for my soul no hearth, no home, no hall,
Thou seest me whole — and that shall be my rest.
Ask not that I become what I am not,
Nor mend, nor change, nor wear a brighter face —
Just know the wanderer, and know his lot,
And let me rest, accepted, in thy grace.
