Needle Rain

Verse 1

Small shadow shifts

Flutter flick

Pinned eyes focus on the shape below

Slivered wings shatter the pale air

He looks up, does not know

One

Silent

Slice of movement cuts

Stillness in his stance

I lie in hiding, hover high

Chorus

I strike I strike I strike

Patterns scatter

I strike I strike

Colors hiss, crowd the matter

He spins—tangled thread

My madness fed

Post-Chorus

Flick—flickering

Flick—flickering

Burst break blinding

Verse 2

Maybe his mind misreads

Maybe the mask misleads

Maybe—maybe—maybe

Still I stand above, wings like weapons

Crimson clash, chrome in sun

Bloodless battle, begun

He moves too slow

He never knows

I spiral, spiral, spiral

Then stoop for the blow

Chorus

I strike I strike I strike

Patterns scatter

I strike I strike

Colors hiss, blend, batter

He spins—limbs askew

Still I pursue

Post-Chorus

Flash—flashing

Flash—flashing

Splinter scatter shatter

Bridge

Above his brow, I hover, hover, hover

Above his doubt, sway, spin, smother

Wings whisper war

Wings wound, withdraw

Verse 3

Something stirs in the startled man

Stands his ground

Staggers—misstep, mutter, mourn

But I am nightfall’s fang

I am needle rain

I am butterfly, battle torn

Chorus

I strike I strike I strike

Patterns in chaos

I strike I strike

Mad and mend, press and pass

He spins—spiraled dread

His pulse painted red

Post-Chorus

Flick—flickering

Flash—flashing

Burst break blinding

Splinter scatter shatter

Outro

I withdraw above the dawn

I descend—then I'm gone

But if he moves, I move faster

Winged disaster
