00:06In the shadows where the powerful dine
00:13A truth they bury, but the veil is thin tonight
00:48They gather in holes of old golden lies
00:53Pomegranates red is the blood they deny
00:56A star with eight points burns quiet above
01:00Not for the light, but the hunger they love
01:04They whisper of power, of thrones that won't fall
01:08The feast they serve is the darkest of all
01:11They call it ambition, they call it decline
01:15But the price is paid in others' mind
01:19They worship the serpent, they're causing the night
01:23The one who fell and still claims the light
01:27They feed it with chaos, with guilt they release
01:31Black rivers of sorrow that never find peace
01:35The other side drinks
01:38And the other side grows
01:42While the ones who still dream never know
01:54A girl steps inside for a future so bright
01:58They brand her with portals that open at night
02:02She dances with shadows that wear friendly faces
02:06Until the battle rises and the mirror erases
02:10One more soul bound to the underworld's clay
02:13One more name lost in the egregor's flame
02:17They call it success, they call it the key
02:21But the luck is the cage, they refuse to see
02:26They worship the serpent, they're causing the night
02:29The one who fell and still claims the light
02:33They feed it with chaos, with guilt they release
02:37Black rivers of sorrow that never find peace
02:41The other side drinks
02:44And the other side grows
02:48While the ones who still dream never know
02:56Not alchemy, in time
03:00Not rising, descending
03:03They trap the fire below
03:05So the world keeps pretending
03:11The citric, the other, the side that demands
03:15Every broken heart, every bloodstained hand
03:19But closer, the star is the same
03:22The same, the same in the film
03:24The same in the name
03:26The same in the parties
03:28The cameras can't show the same
03:30In the eyes of the ones who already know
03:38They worship the serpent, they're causing the night
03:41The one who fell and still claims the light
03:45They feed it with chaos, with guilt they release
03:49Black rivers of sorrow that never find peace
03:53The other side drinks
03:56And the other side owns
03:58And the ones who still dream
04:03Are already gone
04:12Now you see it
04:15Don't look away
04:18The star is still burning
04:22And it knows your name
04:29And it knows your name
