Under the Mantle

from Into Broken Sky by Vertigo Fox

/

lyrics

A battle of stealth and wit
Spot the movement of a shadow
Tense and leap away
Slip down into the world’s core
On silent pad, tail, and wingbeat
In the night to stay

You stole a role that wasn’t yours
I’ll take it back from your very soul
On these waves of power where you soar
(alone)
Do you remember me?
…
Caught in this nightmare dream, with you
Locked in a nightmare's heart, askew
As our worlds fall
As claws hit the spalls
As our worlds fall
As we lash and maul

You took a world, not yours to break
Locked in a naked dance of claw, and quake
Do you even know just what’s at stake?
(just what we take)
…
Your power far exceeds this fanged snout of mine
Flying up a hurricane of shattered space and time

Leap up from stone to stone
As they tumble
To take you from behind
(To catch you by surprise)
Do you remember me?
…
(taking the mantle)
