I felt a pull from beyond the line
A pact sealed with blood and wine
There's a weight in every choice I make
A tether pulling me awake
You gave me words I couldn't speak
A power rising through the weak
But what I hold isn't mine
It's the fire from another's mind
I can feel it crawling through my veins
A force I barely can contain
It's not my strength, it's not my soul
But it's taken all control
I can't turn back, the deal is done
Bound to a pact I can't outrun
Oh, the price I pay, it's clear
For a gift that holds me here
A hunger that I didn't own
Now claims the marrow in my bones
The path is steep, the road is long
But the pulse beats too strong
You gave me words I couldn't speak
A power rising through the weak
But what I hold isn't mine
It's the fire from another's mind
I can feel it crawling through my veins
A force I barely can contain
It's not my strength, it's not my soul
But it's taken all control
I can't turn back, the deal is done
Bound to a pact I can't outrun
Oh, the price I pay, it's clear
For a gift that holds me here
I thought the path would make me whole
But shadows now consume my soul
Each step I take, a borrowed thread
A lifeline tied to something dead
You gave me words I couldn't speak
A power rising through the weak
But what I hold isn't mine
It's the fire from another's mind
I can feel it crawling through my veins
A force I barely can contain
It's not my strength, it's not my soul
But it's taken all control
I can't turn back, the deal is done
Bound to a pact I can't outrun
Oh, the price I pay, it's clear
For a gift that holds me here
I carry chains you cannot see
They bite and burn inside of me
But still, I walk this broken way
With power born of strange decay
I can feel it crawling through my veins
A force I barely can contain
It's not my strength, it's not my soul
But it's taken all control
I can't turn back, the deal is done
Bound to a pact I can't outrun
Oh, the price I pay, it's clear
For a gift that holds me here
I thought the path would make me whole
But shadows now consume my soul
I thought the dark would set me free
You'd be a part but not the whole of me...
