Before the First Dawn (1 ver.)

Verse 1

Before the first dawn there was nothing but the deep

A velvet throat of silence swallowing the sound

I carved my name in the hollow of that sleep

Woke the mountains up from under the ground

Pre-Chorus

So cold the breath that birthed the sky

So loud the quiet when gods asked why

Chorus

Before the first dawn I was the gloom

Before the first dawn I sealed the tomb

Of everything that never learned to shine

I held the dark and called it mine

Verse 2

I stacked the bones of comets into stone

Laced the rivers with a serpent's tongue

No lantern burned no bell had ever rung

The universe still waiting to be shown

Pre-Chorus

So heavy the weight of unborn day

So sharp the edge where worlds will fray

Chorus

Before the first dawn I was the gloom

Before the first dawn I sealed the tomb

Of everything that never learned to shine

I held the dark and called it mine

Bridge

Light will come with its burning hand

Light will take what I have planned

But every star remembers me

The mother of the mystery

Chorus

Before the first dawn I was the gloom

Before the first dawn I sealed the tomb

Of everything that never learned to shine

I held the dark and called it mine

I held the dark

Held it mine

Outro

Before the first dawn

Before the first dawn

I was
