MORTUM PACTUM

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard the silence call my name From underneath the blackened flame No angels came, no bells were rung Only the dead spoke with one tongue The mirror cracked, the candles bowed I felt the darkness breathe out loud No hand to save me, no way back I placed my heart upon the black [Pre-Chorus] If there is truth beyond the grave Then let it come I will not break If there is power in the night Then let it enter Let it rise [Chorus] Mortum Pactum Written in bone Signed in the shadow Sealed in the unknown Mortum Pactum No fear remains I walk with the silence I drink from the pain I gave the night my name And the night gave me a throne Mortum Pactum I do not walk alone [Verse 2] I kissed the mouth of what I feared And found no monster waiting there Only the face I used to hide Only the truth I kept inside The grave is not an ending place It is a gate without a face A threshold buried under skin Where death goes out And power comes in I wear the dark around my throat Like every oath I ever wrote No god above, no hell below Can own the path I choose to know [Pre-Chorus] I crossed the place where shadows kneel And touched the things the living fear I heard the ancient hunger speak You came for truth Now come in deep [Chorus] Mortum Pactum Written in bone Signed in the shadow Sealed in the unknown Mortum Pactum No fear remains I walk with the silence I drink from the pain I gave the night my name And the night gave me a throne Mortum Pactum I do not walk alone [Bridge] No salvation No retreat Only earth beneath my feet No illusion No disguise Only fire behind my eyes Call the ancestors Call the night Call the ones beyond the light Let the old world fall apart I made the pact Inside my heart [Break] I do not fear the grave I fear the life I never dared to claim I do not fear the dark I fear the truth I was too weak to name So open now The final gate Let every falsehood suffocate I came alive Where others stop Inside the seal Mortum Pactum [Final Chorus] Mortum Pactum Written in blood Born from the silence Raised from the mud Mortum Pactum The darkness knows Where every ending dies Another doorway grows I gave the night my name And the night returned my soul Mortum Pactum I became whole Mortum Pactum No chains remain I walk through death And rise again [Outro] When the last candle dies I will still see When the last voice fades I will still be No heaven No hell No master above Only the pact Only the dark Only the truth Mortum Pactum.
