Dark Side Of The Moon

Lyrics

[INTRO — Thunder. A slow, sinister female laugh rises through the silence.] “Ah… ha… ha-ha-ha…” [Whispered] You should have let me sleep. [VERSE 1] I heard your footsteps over stone, Your silver keys, your hungry throne. You carved your name into my chain— Now hear it cracking in the flame. Black scales gleam where torches die, Two violet wounds light up the sky. You brought a cage to claim the night; I brought the dark that swallows light. [PRE-CHORUS — Drums climbing] Hear that growl beneath the floor? Count your soldiers. Lock the door. Something moves behind my eyes— And it remembers all your lies. [CHORUS — Explosive guitars, deep bass] I AM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON! The wings that blot the stars from view! Raise your walls—I’ll tear them through. You woke the dragon. She woke for you. CECILIA—remember the name! Write it in ash where you buried my pain. When violet fire comes rolling through, There’s nowhere left to hide from the moon! [POST-CHORUS — Brief, wicked female laugh] “Ha-ha-ha…” [Whispered] Still feel powerful? [VERSE 2] My whip uncoils across the stair, Its silver teeth divide the air. A crescent tears your banners free; Your broken gates bow down to me. I hold your towers in my sight, My rising growl turns breath to white. You watch the frost climb up the throne— A dragon’s tomb of ice and stone. [PRE-CHORUS — Sudden quiet, heartbeat bass] The whispers wear a voice I know. They tell me never let you go. I reach for mercy—feel it break. There’s nothing gentle left awake. [CHORUS — Full force] I AM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON! The wings that blot the stars from view! Raise your walls—I’ll tear them through. You woke the dragon. She woke for you. CECILIA—remember the name! Write it in ash where you buried my pain. When violet fire comes rolling through, There’s nowhere left to hide from the moon! [BRIDGE — Half-time. Low, breathy female laugh.] “Heh… heh… ha-ha-ha…” They call my name beyond the flame. For one brief breath, I know that name. A hand reaches through the burning air— I almost know who’s standing there. Then comes the roar. Then comes the white. My wings unfold— Eclipse the night! [FINAL CHORUS — Choir joins; drums at full intensity] I AM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON! The storm your chains could never hold! Watch every stolen crown come loose— Watch violet fire devour the gold! CECILIA—remember the name! One final heartbeat feeds the flame. I burn the sky, my strength consumed— And fall beneath an empty moon. [OUTRO — Instruments cut. A slow, evil female laugh echoes into silence.] “Ah… ha… ha-ha-ha…” [Soft whisper] Was the crown worth it?
