Darkness Falling

(album: Game On! - 2016)

Bloodstains of the fallen
Plague this trail you're walking
A warning to be harkened
The eyes of fate are always watching
A desecrated grave forgotten
A seed of evil in the garden
Now rise up from your coffin
Submit yourself into the darkness

If Death is a drug
It's a fact, I'm an addict
Like a virus and I happened to catch it
Gettin killed isn't such a practical habit
You could say that I'm a master at it!
Call me hollow on a path to madness
Like a phoenix, I came back from ashes
I'm bad with fashion
All Clad in black
But I'm the ashen one
So I'm glad with that

Take a step back
My weapons are massive
I massacre masses
Attack like a savage
I'm hacking and slashing
Ravenous Dragons
Isn't that Draculas Castle I'm passin?
The Lord of Cinder is back from napping
They've all gone mad
Now they're actin rabid
I'll have to send em all back to ashes
If you see an estus flask, you better grab it!

As I walk into Lothric
I can see their fires
Swallowed by the Darkness
Push through the fog
I will only find solace
When I'm slaughtering
Every Hollow carcass
I'm NOT A NOVICE
FUCK BEIN' MODEST!
All of my blocks and dodges
Are flawless
I devour gods
But don't call me Aldrich
Praise the sun!
Here comes the Dawn, Bitch

I crossed swords and alot of bosses
They got pissed off because mine's the longest
Knock em dead
And fill up my pocket
If you're not my friend
You're nothin but a conquest
Light a bonfire, catch your breath
And get your rest
Cuz who knows what the heck is next?
Someone left a message and I better check it:
IF YOU'RE ON THIS PATH, GET PREPPED FOR DEATH!

[Hook:]
The darkness is falling
The Grim Reaper's calling
The shadows are coming
To life

And I must rekindle
The embers that dwindle
From ashes and cinder
Will I rise

From the deepest pits of the abysses
Comes a sickness
With which I'm afflicted
Even though my destiny
Might be scripted
Can you tell me one thing that isn't cryptic?
Because my grip is slipping
On my sanity
I'm barely hanging onto
My humanity
Every encounter ends
In a calamity
Why do I do this to myself?
Answer me!

Now I'm as hollow as I'll ever be
Because the dark sigil
Has already branded me
A curse hanging over me
Like a Canopy
But I will use the darkness
That was sent to me
To keep the first flame burning
For centuries
Light and Darkness
Are not complimentary
My Enemies will never see
The end of me
Because I just cannot seem
To rest in peace

On the grind like a nine to five
Scraping by like I'm deprived
Trying not to let the fire die
If you need a light, then I'm your guy
I'm a lord of cinder
Adorned with embers
My flame will burn
Even through storms of winter
Because I will emerge
As an immortal victor
Every foe I face
Is getting more familiar

I seek the chosen one
To have my curse undone
Embrace the dark or praise the sun!

[Hook]

Hollowed, empty
Stoke these embers
Lost my memories
Won't remember
The flame is fading
I'm the lone defender
I know I'll have a dark souls forever

Life and death
Dark and light
Warmth and cold
Wrong and right

Your nightmares take control
Nothing can make you whole
They'll break your soul!

[Hook]
