Anchor to the Dawn

I trace the cold glow where your spirit bleeds

Through the labyrinth of jagged, dark debris

I am the light that shatters the unseen

I will pull you back, my love, you have to see

That I remember the look in your eyes

Before the shadows swallowed up the skies.

Voice distorts, wavering between his own and the demon's)

You shouldn't be here. You should be miles away

I feel the glass cracking, I'm starting to decay

His voice shifts to a softer, terrified whisper

I don’t know who I am when the mirror turns black

Please, run from the dark before it attacks!

I’m forgetting the words, I’m losing the fight

I don't want to hurt you, my beautiful light.

(Angel) I’ll be your armor, I’ll take the blow!

(Demon) It’s taking my body, I’m letting you go...

(Angel) I won't let the darkness become who you are!

(Demon) I don't want to hurt you! I'm pushing too far!

(Both) I will reach out, pull you from the deep

I’ll give you the memories you promised to keep!

I don’t want to hurt you! I don't want to hurt you!

My hands aren't my own when the fracture breaks through!

Who are you calling? I can't feel your touch...

I’m forgetting your face, though I loved it so much.

Please... run!

Angel - Speaking softly to the Demon]

(Her voice softens, shifting from the host to the entity possessing him)

I see you beneath the anger, beneath the bitter, blackened rage.

I know the trauma that built your walls, locking him inside a cage.

You’re just a broken fragment crying out in pain,

But you don’t have to terrorize his life to survive the rain.

I see who you really are, and I’m not here to fight you.

I’m here! I am right here!

Look at me, anchor your soul to the dawn

I’ll hold you together, though everything's gone!

I won’t let the shadow take you away,

I am your guardian, I’m here to stay.I’m forgetting...

I'm fading...

Please, I don’t want to hurt—A sudden, frantic swell of strings and chaotic, heavy drums, followed instantly by a piercing, abrupt cut to total silence. Only the echo of a sudden, sharp intake of breath remains, fading into nothing.
