Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental, flute]

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
[Verse 1]
The label's faded, bottle's bare,

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Another night lost in despair.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Artie repeats, a broken plea,

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
"Shall I answer?" mocking me.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
A grunt escapes, a hollow sound,

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Lost in shadows all around.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:41,000
[Chorus]
Jubb… whispers on the solar wind,

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
A frozen promise, dark within.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The Bitter Star, a silent grace,

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Consuming worlds without a trace.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Jubb... a name that chills the bone,

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
A universe forever unknown.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
[Verse 2]
A chance to rise, a debt to pay,

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
A pawn in games I orchestrate today.

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,500
Send him forth, a simple guise,

17
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,000
To trigger secrets behind his eyes.

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
The darkbirds wait, their purpose clear,

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
To sow the seeds of doubt and fear.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:32,000
[Bridge]
[instrumental, flute]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
[Verse 3]
A gilded cage, a hollow dream,

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Lost in shadows, it would seem.

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
To feel the touch of something true,

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Beyond this world, beyond you.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
But loyalty binds, a heavy chain,

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Trapped within this endless pain.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
[Chorus]
Jubb… whispers on the solar wind,

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
A frozen promise, dark within.

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
The Bitter Star, a silent grace,

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Consuming worlds without a trace.

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Jubb… a name that chills the bone,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
A universe forever unknown.

33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
[Verse 4]
The cycle turns, the balance shifts,

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Humanity's folly, its fleeting gifts.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I offer power, a chilling hand,

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
To reshape worlds across the land.

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But freedom’s price is steep to pay,

38
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
When shadows dance in endless sway.

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:52,000
[Outro]
[instrumental, flute]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
The cycle turns, the balance shifts,

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Humanity's folly, its fleeting gifts.

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I offer power, a chilling hand,

43
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
To reshape worlds across the land.

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But freedom’s price is steep to pay,

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
When shadows dance in endless sway.

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Ooh, ooh, ooh
