Bookaria - The Witch’s Pet

Bury me deep where the earth guards the dead
Where no one remembers the names of the lost
They try to mend every wound where
I bled
But strength found its roots in the chains and the cost
Every mask wears its teeth through a borrowed face
Hunting cracks in my voice, any fear they can trace
They will never learn whom
I would burn to defend
I will hide her in scorn till the right meets its end
Something lives in me, wakeful and wild
It hungers for ruin with the rage of a child
I fear not its fire, its hunger, its name
I fear
I will answer and become what it claims
Don't run from me
Even if you're the abyss
I'll walk into darkness if your heartbeat is this
No terrible secret
Could change what
I know
I see your soul, not the magic below
We were bound by a promise that never was ours
Love is never commanded by kingdoms or powers
Don't run, don't hide, don't close that door
I'll stay by choice forevermore
Let them believe you're the mark
I despise
A burden
I bear with contempt in my eyes
I'll master the cruelty, silence and steel
So none of them learn what
I guard or
I feel
Golden chains at my temples were biting like wire
Drowning my voice in a cold metal choir
They taught me corruption had nested within
That my soul stood wide open, inviting the sin
I'll cross through the wall, through the pits, through the night
One breath, one glance, and
I'll follow the light
No secret you carry could drive me away
Only tell me
I'm welcome and show me the way
Thrice the circle, thrice the sign
Ash to ash, blood to bind
Two marks awaken
Two flames arise
Two voices whisper
Beneath the skies
Who wrote our names in the fire below
Who marked our blood so the roots would know
Who forged this vow in a world undone
Who crowned us both with a dying sun
Let all their thrones be consumed by flame
Let every mask forget our names
If fate was written in blood and fire
Let enemies burn upon that pyre
If this flame was never our end
Only the road
We could not bend
Then let love outlive every sign
Every omen
Every law
Circle of ashes
Thread of blood
Goddess Mark
Beneath the flood
What they buried
Breathes once more
Root and ember
Seed and star
Don't run from me
Even if you're the abyss
I'll walk into darkness if your heartbeat is this
No terrible secret
Could change what
I know
I see your soul, not the magic below
We were bound by a promise that never was ours
Love is never commanded by kingdoms or powers
Don't run, don't hide
Don't close that door
I'll stay by choice forevermore
