Dominus Tenebris

[Verse] Jess Brightwell moves in shadows, ink-stained hands divulge Where the scrolls tell secrets, but truth’s been smudged Knowledge is power, but the rulers hoard it tight Young scholar’s heart burns brighter than forbidden light [Verse 2] Locked in Alexandria’s steel-ribbed claws Metal tomes grind dreams, ancient laws with flaws Books ain’t freedom when they chain your spirit’s flight Jess fueling revolution with every word he writes [Chorus] Pages turn, but the fire won’t burn out Truth writes loud where they silence and doubt Library’s grip can't snuff the brave fight Jess Brightwell, torchbearer of the night [Verse 3] Smarts sharper than paper cuts, calm yet defiant Alchemists and automata, he outplays giants Code in the margins, a rebel's mark on the page Every step he takes cracks the Library's cage [Bridge] Iron shelves stand high like tyrant’s walls Yet ideas flow free through the crumbled halls Light beams down where the banned dwell Jess presses on, the stories he’ll tell [Chorus] Pages turn, but the fire won’t burn out Truth writes loud where they silence and doubt Library’s grip can't snuff the brave fight Jess Brightwell, torchbearer of the night

⚔️ Verse 1: Born beneath the weight of steel, A name that echoes, sharp and real. They built me up with blood and bone, A shield that stands—never alone. 🩸 Pre-Chorus: I don’t need the crown, don’t need the throne, I carve my path, I stand alone. Through fire and shadow, through ash and war, I’ll hold the line forevermore. 🛡️ Chorus: I am the sword, I am the wall, The last to break, the first to fall. Bound by duty, tied by chains, I bleed in silence, hide my pain. Unyielding— You’ll never watch me fall. 🔥 Verse 2: I’ve walked through flames, I’ve drowned in fate, Carried the sins, the heavy weight. I hear their voices call my name, But I am more than just this game. 🩶 Bridge: No crown, no chains, no guiding light, Only the ghosts that haunt the night. They call me back, they pull me down, But I won’t kneel, I wear no crown. 🛡️ Chorus (Reprise): I am the sword, I am the wall, The last to break, the first to fall. Bound by duty, tied by chains, I bleed in silence, hide my pain. Unyielding— You’ll never watch me fall. 🖤 Outro: Through shadowed halls, I walk alone, A name unyielding, carved in stone. I hold the night, I face the call, I am unyielding after all.

🕯️ Verse 1: I still hear your voice in the coldest wind, A whisper carved into my skin. The echoes call from a life undone, But ghosts don’t hold the morning sun. 🩸 Pre-Chorus: I watched the sky turn crimson red, Felt the stars weep where you bled. A thousand prayers fell on deafened ears, Now I walk alone through the years. 🌑 Chorus: The moon won’t shine the way it did before, The night’s grown quiet, love is no more. I chase your shadow through endless time, But you’re gone—just a dream left behind. 🔥 Verse 2: Feathers fell like dying flames, Your name lingers, but it’s not the same. I built my walls, I closed my door, Still, your hands haunt me evermore. 🩶 Bridge: I could burn the heavens, I could shatter the past, But the truth is written, And nothing will last. 🌑 Chorus (Reprise): The moon won’t shine the way it did before, The night’s grown quiet, love is no more. I chase your shadow through endless time, But you’re gone—just a dream left behind. 🖤 Outro: The stars may rise, the sun may set, But you’re the wound I can't forget. And so I walk through endless night, Eclipsed by love that burned too bright.

[Verse] Eras perfume leve un cielo al pasar Una chispa fugaz en mi radar lunar Tu risa rompía el silencio casual Un himno secreto un sueño inmoral [Verse 2] Tus ojos cantaban un vals celestial Un eco de luces entre el temporal Tu amor adolescente tan irreal Como un cometa que no volverá [Chorus] Oh amor hermoso que quiso volar Entre notas dulces de un viejo piano al azar En mis brazos el tiempo dejaste quedar Pero el reloj sabía que debía girar [Bridge] Eras un poema sin terminar Un solo de cuerdas a punto de gritar Con cada latido un recuerdo fatal El eco del ayer el amor que se va [Verse 3] Tu olor es un lazo que no quiere soltar Pero tan delicado se puede quebrar Tu sombra aún danza bajo un farol Recordando el fuego que alumbró mi rol [Chorus] Oh amor hermoso que quiso volar Entre notas dulces de un viejo piano al azar En mis brazos el tiempo dejaste quedar Pero el reloj sabía que debía girar

[Verse] Lifeless void Eternal chill Blackened sky Time stands still Crystal skull Bearer of rage Unleash chaos Break the cage [Chorus] Shatter worlds Carve your name Through the fire Through the flame Crystal whisper Thunder screams Forge the end through maddened dreams [Verse 2] Rivers spin Blood runs wild Chaos crowned Fate defiled Skull of gods Gleaming might Devour all Endless night [Bridge] Monuments crash Heavens weep Chasms roar from depths so deep Crystal shards The engines hum Brutal power Nowhere to run [Chorus] Shatter worlds Carve your name Through the fire Through the flame Crystal whisper Thunder screams Forge the end through maddened dreams [Outro] Echoes fade Silence grows Cosmic rift Darkness flows Crystal skull Final breath Song of chaos Endless death

[Verse] Walking on a road laid bare and wide Shadows of the past Nowhere to hide Even the stars now forget they used to glow For the echoes of you They still show [Verse 2] The wind whispers secrets I can't unhear Every quiet corner holds your voice so clear The days are loud but the nights betray A silence that pulls your memory to stay [Chorus] Echoes of you in every song they play In puddles where the moonlight fades away Time moves on but it forgot to ask me If I was ready for eternity’s debris [Bridge] The strings of my heart still hum your tune An endless rhythm beneath a waning moon Love like this It doesn’t break it bends Yet here I stand where it never quite ends [Verse 3] Raindrops race down upon my face Each one a memory I cannot misplace The sky wears the storm like an aching weight Yet within the thunder I hear our fate [Chorus] Echoes of you in every dawn’s first mist In the empty spaces where we once kissed Time moves forward but its grip is cruel Forever tethered to my heart's old jewel

Here is the translation back to English: **Verse 1** I saw the signs, the flashing lights, But I kept moving, thinking it was alright, Now I'm drowning in the storm I've made, Wishing I had listened when they said, “Stay away.” **Pre-Chorus** You told me once, you told me twice, But I didn’t care, thought I knew what was right, Now I’m stuck in this chaos, Fighting for my life, with no way out, it seems. **Chorus** Warning, warning, can you see? The road I’m on is killing me, I should’ve turned back, I should’ve seen, The danger is closer than it seems. Warning, warning, it’s too late, Now I’m standing face to face with fate, The clock is ticking, time to break, I can’t undo the choices I make. **Verse 2** I kept my eyes on the path ahead, But I was blinded by the words I said, Now I’m feeling every bit of regret, When will I learn? When will I forget? **Pre-Chorus** You told me once, you told me twice, But I didn’t care, thought I knew what was right, Now I’m stuck in this chaos, Fighting for my life, with no way out, it seems. **Chorus** Warning, warning, can you see? The road I’m on is killing me, I should’ve turned back, I should’ve seen, The danger is closer than it seems. Warning, warning, it’s too late, Now I’m standing face to face with fate, The clock is ticking, time to break, I can’t undo the choices I make. **Bridge** I hear the sirens calling, But it’s too late for stalling, The warnings are falling, I can't stop falling, falling... **Chorus** Warning, warning, can you see? The road I’m on is killing me, I should’ve turned back, I should’ve seen, The danger is closer than it seems. Warning, warning, it’s too late, Now I’m standing face to face with fate, The clock is ticking, time to break, I can’t undo the choices I make. **Outro** Warning, warning, it’s too late... I can’t escape... I can’t undo the choices I make.

[Verse] Two roads diverge in a shadowed lane Both whispers call but neither's plain One’s a fire the other’s ice Can't choose once not thinking twice [Verse 2] The clock it stares a ticking tease Each second gone brings weakened knees Left or right is the question raised Lost in thought my mind’s a maze [Chorus] Oh pendulum swing oh heart take flight Which truth will rise in this endless fight The middle wavers the edge does gleam Caught in the pull of a fractured dream [Verse 3] A coin it spins it mocks my fate Heads or tails decide debate But deeper down the fear resides No safe shore no easy tides [Bridge] The echoes howl the winds do creep A choice to make but dreams still weep The violins cry the cellos scream A wavering tune an unanswered theme [Chorus] Oh pendulum swing oh heart take flight Which truth will rise in this endless fight The middle wavers the edge does gleam Caught in the pull of a fractured dream

[स्थाई] प्यार मेरे लिए बना ही नहीं ये दर्द देता है ज़िंदगी से भी ज़्यादा ये मुझे मार देता है धीरे-धीरे जैसे आग में बुझ रही हो सादा [अंतरा 1] हर छोटी बात पे टिकना मुश्किल है ख़ुशियाँ यहाँ आंखों के कोने में हैं जुनून सा है जो दिल जलाता है प्यार का ये सेहरा मुझे डराता है [स्थाई] प्यार मेरे लिए बना ही नहीं ये दर्द देता है ज़िंदगी से भी ज़्यादा ये मुझे मार देता है धीरे-धीरे जैसे आग में बुझ रही हो सादा [अंतरा 2] रातें ख़ाली हैं पर ख्वाब गूंजते हैं ये एहसास जैसे कांटे कुछ भी चुभते हैं दिल टूटता है जैसे शीशा हो कोई इसे थामूं तो हर कोने चोट पहुँचते हैं [संगीत मध्यांतर] (संगीत इंटरल्यूड) [अंतरा 3] सच तो ये है प्यार जाल सा है जैसे मासूम परिंदे तूफान फँसता जाए कोशिश करते हैं मगर ये अच्छा नहीं प्यार बस दर्द भरा सामान बन जाए
