Event Horizon from Ouroboros Rising by Alysstrasza

[Verse 1]
Static cracks across my skin, I bleed through broken wires
Every step a hollow weight, consumed by darker fires
The world caves in beneath my feet, no truth to stand upon
A voice inside keeps screaming loud, but every note is gone
Ash rains down on shattered glass, my lungs pull in the flame
The echo of a thousand sins, each one still calls my name
I claw at walls that will not move, they laugh and pull me under
The silence chokes, the air is thin, replaced by endless thunder

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the walls compress, my body starts to bend
A cycle with no mercy, a war that will not end
No savior in the distance, no hand to cut the chain
Only blood and fractured bone remind me what remains
The shadows spit my name, they drag me to the floor
I swear I've been here countless times, I'll crawl until I'm sore
The weight becomes a mountain, my voice reduced to cries
And still I force my chest to rise against their endless lies

[Chorus]
Break me down, but I won't fall
You will not claim me at all
I am the venom you cannot take
I am the silence that will not break
Shatter me with every scream
I still outlive your darkest dream
I carve my fury into stone
Defiant, I will stand alone

[Bridge]
The cracks run deep, they split my core, but still the fire remains
A searing wound that burns through steel, it tears apart the chains
I taste the dust of every loss, the rot of wasted years
I turn it into sharpened blades, I cut through all my fears
The serpent coils around my neck, it whispers me to die
But venom fuels a greater rage, I spit it in its eye
No crater deep enough to keep this broken soul confined
I'll crawl through ash with shattered limbs, but leave your corpse behind

[Final Chorus]
Break me down, but I won't fall
You will not claim me at all
I am the venom you cannot take
I am the silence that will not break
Shatter me with every scream
I still outlive your darkest dream
I carve my fury into stone
Defiant, I will stand alone
