[Intro]
Torchfire faded, candlelight died
The door drank the glow from every side

[Verse]
It stood in the stone like a wound in the world
With iron roots twisted and black banners curled
No handle, no hinges, no mercy, no rust
Only old hunger beneath older dust

[Pre-Chorus]
The mage raised her hands and the shadows bent low
The key started bleeding a moon-colored glow
The bard sang a note and the silence replied

[Chorus]
The door that drinks the light
Opens its mouth in the dead of night
Give it a spark and it swallows the sun
Give it a name and the nightmare has begun
The door that drinks the light
Calls to the lost on the other side

[Verse]
The paladin saw what his order had sealed
A battlefield buried, a crown unconcealed
The dwarf saw a mountain with windows of bone
The thief saw himself sitting there on a throne

[Pre-Chorus]
The innkeeper’s voice came from nowhere and near
Some doors are prisons, some prisons are fear
And some must be opened when old debts collide

[Chorus]
The door that drinks the light
Opens its mouth in the dead of night
Give it a spark and it swallows the sun
Give it a name and the nightmare has begun
The door that drinks the light
Calls to the lost on the other side

[Build-up]
Turn the key
Lift the flame
Speak the mark
Burn the name
Hold the line
Stand as one
Night has teeth
Run, don’t run

[Drop]
The door came alive
The stone split wide
The dark poured through
Like a rising tide

[Bridge]
If courage is only the fear we command
Then give me your shoulder and give me your hand
No hero is ready, no prophecy kind
But no one goes forward by staying behind

[Chorus]
The door that drinks the light
Opens its mouth in the dead of night
Give it a spark and it swallows the sun
Give it a name and the nightmare has begun
The door that drinks the light
Calls to the lost on the other side

[Outro]
Torchfire faded, candlelight died
And five shadows crossed to the other side
