Shadow of the Night

[Verse 1] Ilbyss, a shadow of the night, A handsome sorcerer, awakened in darkness' might. Cruel childhood, defiled by rituals untamed, His soul darkened, by blood and sorrow inflamed. [Pre-Chorus] His twin brother, a solace in his pain, Yet separated they were, in the swirl of existence's domain. Ilbyss, the wanderer, through land and time, Kills and steals, in dark eternity's prime. [Chorus] The beauty of darkness, with a heart of ice, He rises above mortality, in his evil vice. Arrogant and haughty, he deems himself the light, Yet in his eyes, the fire of eternal duty ignites. [Verse 2] His power grows and grows, a demigod in flesh and blood, He deems himself immortal, in his dark flood. Souls he gathers, as souvenirs of might, And the hearts of his victims, to him as delicacies delight. [Pre-Chorus] Through lands and worlds, he carves his path, A ruler of darkness, in his sinister wrath. With a smile on his lips, yet void in his chest, He seeks redemption, in infinite zest. [Chorus] The beauty of darkness, with a heart of ice, He rises above mortality, in his evil vice. Arrogant and haughty, he deems himself the light, Yet in his eyes, the fire of eternal duty ignites. [Bridge] Yet beneath the mask of the handsome face's grace, Lies the truth, no one can trace. A creator of terror, in darkness bedded, Ilbyss, the puppeteer, life and death's strings threaded. [Chorus] The beauty of darkness, with a heart of ice, He rises above mortality, in his evil vice. Arrogant and haughty, he deems himself the light, Yet in his eyes, the fire of eternal duty ignites.
