[Verse 1] I keep the key in my mouth Cold gold on my tongue I walk the hall of my own fault And hear what I become Mirror, why do you stay? You know my face by fire I feed the grief, I feed the chain Still call it my desire [Pre-Chorus] Lift the veil Let it fall I can feel it crawl Up the wall One more breath One more dare I have lived in the dark I can live there [Chorus] Black ink crown Black ink crown I wear it down I wear it down Tell me my name Then let it break Black ink crown I will awake (Black ink crown) (Black ink crown) [Verse 2] I have made my bed of ash I have laid my bones there Every vow I left to rot Still hangs in the air I was taught to bow my head To hide the bruise in pride Now I raise my empty hands And let the ruin sing inside [Pre-Chorus] Lift the veil Let it fall I can feel it crawl Up the wall One more breath One more dare I have lived in the dark I can live there [Chorus] Black ink crown Black ink crown I wear it down I wear it down Tell me my name Then let it break Black ink crown I will awake (Black ink crown) (Black ink crown) [Bridge] I am not the wound I am the blade I am not the shame They made Hear the glass Hear it ring From the ruin I still sing [Final Chorus] Black ink crown Black ink crown I wear it down I wear it down Tell me my name Then let it break Black ink crown I will awake Black ink crown Black ink crown I rise from pain I take my place (Black ink crown) (Black ink crown)
Eternal Roses – Moonlit Elegy envelops symphonic metal’s grandeur in a hushed midnight glow. A contralto lead—rich, burnished, and notably free of sibilance—anchors the arrangement as strings, piano, and brass unfurl around serrated guitars and martial percussion. The track’s dynamic architecture leans on patient swells and cresting crescendos, allowing the voice to move from intimate confession to towering lament without losing clarity or weight.
Guided by its title, the piece contemplates beauty’s persistence amid decay: roses that resist time’s scythe, an elegy cast in lunar silver. Expect a balance of gothic romanticism and modern punch—choirs that bloom like fog, double-kick undercurrents, and minor-key modulations that tighten the air as the chorus rises. The production’s velvet top end flatters the singer’s timbre, while the orchestration carves chambers of light and shadow, shaping a mood of thorned tenderness and nocturnal resolve.
