Even Darkness Can Carry The Light

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1 — Quiet, ominous] Snow lies deep where my footsteps fall, Black trees lean like a prison wall. Violet smoke slips between my fingers; Under my skin, something ancient lingers. They buried my name in a mountain of ice, I woke with a power that wanted a price. Now every shadow that follows me home Speaks with a voice that sounds like my own. [Pre-Chorus — Rising] It whispers, *Open up your hands.* *Leave nothing breathing where they stand.* I feel the hunger climb my spine— This power answers. The choice is mine. [Chorus — Explosive] Even darkness can carry the light! See it burn in my hands tonight! I can tear through steel, make the heavens shake, But there are things I will not break. Let the black moon rise inside— It will never choose who dies. With a thousand shadows at my side, Even darkness can carry the light! [Verse 2 — Driving] Crescent Rend through the freezing air, A silver scar where your blades were bared. Change your strike—I have learned your motion; Turn your strength like a shifting ocean. Lunar Aegis against the flame, I hold the line while you call my name. Stars hang waiting above my hands— One breath, and the storm descends. [Pre-Chorus — Intensifying] The whispers promise I won’t feel pain If I let them take the reins. My knees give way. My vision frays. I hear your voice—and make them wait. [Chorus — Full orchestra] Even darkness can carry the light! See it burn in my hands tonight! I can tear through steel, make the heavens shake, But there are things I will not break. Let the black moon rise inside— It will never choose who dies. With a thousand shadows at my side, Even darkness can carry the light! [Bridge — Whisper to roar] *Give us your sorrow.* *Give us your skin.* *You know how easily* *We could win.* My fingers close. The storm stands still. I have the power— I keep my will! [Final Chorus — Triumphant] Even darkness can carry the light! I am still Cecilia tonight! Let my roar roll over the frozen ground, Let the ones I shelter hear that sound. Though the fire leaves me cold, There are hands I won’t let go. Till the dawn returns to these haunted skies, Even darkness can carry the light! [Outro — Soft] Snow settles over the scars of the fight. My hands are trembling. They still hold the light.
