The Obsidian Beacon

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold stone beneath my feet
Where salt and sorrow meet
The fog begins to rise
To hide the sailors' eyes
I strike the ancient match
Behind the iron latch
[Pre-Chorus]
(Choir: Sanctus Dominus)
Centuries of silence
Born of winter's violence
I hold the holy spark
Against the freezing dark
[Chorus]
Burn, oh eternal flame
I whisper every name
Across the frozen deep
While all the angels sleep
My watch will never end
Until the heavens bend
[Post-Chorus]
(Soprano Vocalise)
Ah, ah, ah
Lumina in tenebris
[Verse]
(Growl) The waves demand their toll
(Soprano) I shield the fragile soul
(Growl) The ice begins to crack
(Soprano) They never wander back
(Growl) Your light is but a lie
(Soprano) I watch the sailors die
[Pre-Chorus]
(Choir: Gloria in Exelsis)
Shadows on the wall
I answer every call
No mercy in the gale
Behind the velvet veil
[Chorus]
Burn, oh eternal flame
I whisper every name
Across the frozen deep
While all the angels sleep
My watch will never end
Until the heavens bend
[Drop]
(Heavy Downtuned Riffs & Blast Beats)
[Bridge]
O, great cathedral of the sea
Release the ghosts and let them be
My heart is stone, my spirit fire
I am the wick upon the pyre
The harpsichord plays for the dead
With every single prayer I've said
[Solo]
(Orchestral Strings & Guitar Harmony)
[Chorus]
Burn, oh eternal flame
I whisper every name
Across the frozen deep
While all the angels sleep
My watch will never end
Until the heavens bend
[Post-Chorus]
(Growl) Eternal night
(Soprano) Eternal light
(Growl) No hope in sight
(Soprano) I hold it tight
[Outro]
