[Verse 1]
Sky cracked open
White fire, seven crowns
Names carved quiet
In the bones of the clouds
They move like comets
Robes trailing ancient storms
Eyes like rivers
Cut through flesh and form
[Pre-Chorus]
Down below
Something answers
Cold salt breath
From the caverns
[Chorus]
Seven ancients, seven high
Seven souls of the abyss rise
Heaven hanging by a thread of light
When the deep climbs up to bite the sky
Seven ancients, seven burn
Seven shadows wait their turn
If the stars fall into endless night
Who will hold the line, who will stand and fight?
[Verse 2]
Black tide rising
Seven mouths, no shore
Words taste iron
Every vow a war
They wear the shipwrecks
Crowned in broken bone
Drag the sun down
Claim the dark as throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Air turns glass
Hearts beat thunder
One last breath
Before it sunders
[Chorus]
Seven ancients, seven high
Seven souls of the abyss rise
Heaven hanging by a thread of light
When the deep climbs up to bite the sky
Seven ancients, seven burn
Seven shadows wait their turn
If the stars fall into endless night
Who will hold the line, who will stand and fight?
[Bridge]
One step
Halo to chasm
One word
Spark into phantoms
They clash
Gold into black tide
Every wing
Stained on the inside
[Chorus]
Seven ancients, seven high
Seven souls of the abyss rise
Heaven hanging by a thread of light
When the deep climbs up to bite the sky
Seven ancients, seven burn
Seven shadows wait their turn
If the dawn bleeds into failing light
Will we choose the sky, will we choose the night?
