Verse 1:
In the still of night, whispers dance around,
I can smell the fear, echoing their sound.
One heartbeat, pounding in my chest,
I’m counting down the shadows, there will be no rest.
Chorus:
One for the hurt, two for the pain,
Three for the blood that calls like rain.
Counting the breaths of those who will fall,
Four to remind me why I stand tall.
Verse 2:
Feet on the ground, the hunt draws near,
I can taste the rage, drowning in my fear.
Five senses sharp, like a blade in the dark,
Each step a whisper, igniting a spark.
Chorus:
One for the hurt, two for the pain,
Three for the blood that calls like rain.
Counting the breaths of those who will fall,
Four to remind me why I stand tall.
Bridge:
Shadows creeping, fate entwined,
I’ll find them, I’m with the wicked wind unconfined.
Six memories flash, her laughter, her sigh,
Each moment a dagger in the heart of the sky.
Verse 3:
Seven screams echo, through the haunted trees,
Eight broken promises, dancing in the breeze.
With every name shouted, my fury ignites,
I’m the monster they fear, hunting through the night.
Chorus:
One for the hurt, two for the pain,
Three for the blood that calls like rain.
Counting the breaths of those who will fall,
Four to remind me why I stand tall.
Outro:
So here I am, with vengeance I'll hold,
Nine scars of torment, ten tales of old.
I’m the storm that sweeps through, fierce and divine,
Counting the shadows, your reckoning is mine.
