The Moon's Lament

The Red Moon Rises -- Whose to blame? .: Lyrics:. {Intro — Soft, haunting} When the moon rises, the world grows still… The creatures of the night sing softly beneath her silver glow. She was made to guide them through the dark— A goddess painted across the heavens. But even the moon can break. {Verse 1} When the moon rises, you come crawling back again, Like the dark only loves you when you’ve got nowhere else to go. You worshipped my light when it made you feel safe, But the second daylight touched your skin— You let me fade alone. I held the oceans steady with my bare hands, Calmed every monster that stood in your chest. You called me your goddess, your sanctuary, your sky— Funny how quickly gods are forgotten When the sun starts burning bright. {Pre-Chorus} Now the waves crash harder, Now the heavens shake— You made a storm out of someone Who only wanted to be loved. {Chorus} So don’t come crying to the moon tonight, Don’t reach for my hands when you’re losing the fight. You only loved my silver light When it made your darkness feel less alone. Now the sky glows crimson red, And every word you said is dead. You made your choice— Now choke on the silence you left inside my soul. {Verse 2} I was the calm inside your chaos, The soft light hanging over your war. But you kept taking pieces of me Like the night owed you something more. You wanted warmth without devotion, Wanted worship without the pain. But moons don’t break quietly, darling— We pull entire oceans into hurricanes. {Pre-Chorus} Hear the creatures crying, Hear the tides collide— Even the monsters know betrayal When they see it in my eyes. {Chorus} So don’t come crying to the moon tonight, Don’t call my name just because she left your side. You only loved me when I burned for you, When I bled silver across your sky. Now the heavens drip in crimson rage, A goddess trapped inside a cage. You made me this— Now watch me eclipse the light you chose instead. {Breakdown} You wanted the soft moon. The quiet moon. The version of me that forgave everything. But now the red moon rises. And she remembers. Every lie. Every promise. Every night you made her feel Like she was too much to hold. {Final Chorus} Now the whole sky shakes beneath me, The oceans bend to every scar. I’m done being your sanctuary, Done dimming myself for who you are. So when the crimson light comes calling, When the shadows drag your name— Remember this: You created the monster Inside the moon you couldn’t keep. {Outro} When the moon rises now… It is not for you anymore.
