A Thousand Souls Behind One Face

Naraka

Verse 1

A village burned beneath the flame

No living soul to speak a name

A mother watched her kingdom fall

The last of blood, the last of all

A dying witch with fading breath

Would curse a line beyond its death

She pressed the crystal to his face

And bound his blood to endless fate

The flesh gave way, the eye collapsed

The tendrils pierced, the bones were clasped

He screamed beneath the dying light

And vanished into endless night

Pre-Chorus

One final breath

One final cry

A curse that death could never buy

Through blood and bone, through time and years

The crystal feeds upon their fears

Chorus

Naraka! The undying!

Born from a curse that time can't erase

Naraka! The undying!

A thousand souls behind one face

Through every death another rise

A thousand lifetimes in his eyes

No peace, no grave, no last goodbye

Naraka! The undying!

Verse 2

The generations came and went

Their borrowed lives, their punishment

A father's death, a child's first breath

The crystal chose who followed death

From ancient wars to worlds unborn

From broken crowns to kingdoms torn

The past and future intertwined

A thousand ghosts inside his mind

Each soul a weapon, every scar

A memory from a distant war

He wears the ages like a chain

And every death begins again

Pre-Chorus

The crystal hums

The lattice breaks

Another soul the darkness takes

The years collide, the heavens bend

The curse has found no final end

Chorus

Naraka! The undying!

Born from a curse that time can't erase

Naraka! The undying!

A thousand souls behind one face

Through every death another rise

A thousand lifetimes in his eyes

No peace, no grave, no last goodbye

Naraka! The undying!

Verse 3

He speaks of battles never fought

Of kings and wars that time forgot

He knows the faces yet to come

He sees the ruins yet undone

A soldier here, a killer there

A hundred lives that he must bear

He laughs at things no man can see

A fractured mind that can't break free

His hands remember ancient steel

His instincts know what eyes conceal

Two blades ignite against the night

A crimson flame, a frozen light

Bridge

Was I the first?

Was I the last?

Am I the future?

Am I the past?

I hear their voices in my head

I know the living and the dead

I see the world before it came

I wear a thousand different names

Hook

You took everyone from me!

Now your line will never rest

Blood for blood

Soul for soul

The crystal takes, the crystal holds

No death

No end

No release

The dead will never rest in peace

Verse 4

The witch is gone, the deed is done

But now the curse belongs to none

The hand that cast the ancient spell

Has forged a creature out of hell

Not one man lives beneath that skin

But all the lives that came before him

And somewhere in that shattered mind

A thousand lost souls intertwine

He walks where time itself has bled

Among the living and the dead

No kingdom owns him, none command

A walking war across the land

Chorus

Naraka! The undying!

Born from a curse that time can't erase

Naraka! The undying!

A thousand souls behind one face

Through every death another rise

The ancient wars still burn inside

No peace, no grave, no last goodbye

Naraka! The undying!

Naraka! The undying!

The past and future are his to claim

Naraka! The undying!

A thousand lives, but none remain

The crystal burns, the ages cry

No soul escapes, no one can die

The curse lives on beneath the sky

Outro

Naraka! The undying!
