Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They buried a name in stone But the grave kept open wide Saw him in the lampblack rain With a grin like a silver knife Black gloves on a marble hand Wine on the collar of night He reads our sins like a book Then laughs at the final line [Pre-Chorus] He never left No, he never sleeps In the back of your skull Where the black wind leans [Chorus] Byron never died He lives in the dark (He lives in the dark) Byron never died He kisses the scar (He kisses the scar) Blood on his tongue And a song in the ash Byron never died He comes back fast [Verse 2] He walks through the fever dream With a chalice of borrowed breath Romance in a shattered coat And a pact with a velvet death He loves like a loaded blade He drinks from the wrists of saints Sardonic as candle smoke Beautiful as a curse that stays [Pre-Chorus] He never left No, he never fades Every sleeping mind Is a room he takes [Chorus] Byron never died He lives in the dark (He lives in the dark) Byron never died He kisses the scar (He kisses the scar) Blood on his tongue And a song in the ash Byron never died He comes back fast [Bridge] When your eyelids fall He is already there At the edge of the bed In the cold dead air He raises a toast To the ruin inside Then steals your sweet name And wears it with pride [Chorus] Byron never died He lives in the dark (He lives in the dark) Byron never died He kisses the scar (He kisses the scar) Blood on his tongue And a song in the ash Byron never died He comes back fast [Outro] So lock your prayers And bar your dreams He wants the tender parts He wants the seams Byron never died Byron never died (He lives in the dark)
