Rituals in the Dark 4

Intro

(Heavy breathing)

Verse

I was a shadow on the wall of time

Watching gods and mortals play their rhyme

Every heartbeat counted, every breath was gold

I kept the rhythm, never let it grow cold

Flickering candles cast a dim green glow

I stood alone where the darkness seemed to know

Beneath the northern lights, I found my place

A keeper of secrets in an ancient space

Pre-Chorus

The drums begin to rise from deep within

Can you feel it building, hear the iron skin?

Chorus

Rituals in the dark

We are fire and steel

Burning through the night

With a sacred zeal

Rituals in the dark

Where the wild things dwell

Every step is lit by embers in our chest

This is where we let it rise, this is our best

Verse

I carried the weight of every prayer

Kept the beat that made the shadows stare

No one else could hear what I had found

A hidden pulse that moved beneath the ground

Through a thousand nights and every stormy rain

The drums kept calling like an endless refrain

In this dark temple, I discovered my name

I was the heartbeat that refused to break

Pre-Chorus

The drums begin to rise from deep within

Can you feel it building, hear the iron skin?

Chorus

Rituals in the dark

We are fire and steel

Burning through the night

With a sacred zeal

Rituals in the dark

Where the wild things dwell

Every step is lit by embers in our chest

This is where we let it rise, this is our best

Bridge

I don't need eyes to see what's real

The pulse inside me tells me when to feel

In a world that tries to silence every sound

We find our way through the darkness, on common ground

Chorus

Rituals in the dark

We are fire and steel

Burning through the night

With a sacred zeal

Rituals in the dark

Where the wild things dwell

Every step is lit by embers in our chest

This is where we let it rise, this is our best
