Daughter of the Half-Light

Born in the fault line
Between a curse and a prayer
You put my name in the same cold breath
As the ones that claw from the lair
I taste fire on my tongue
But I'm still choking on why
Am I your answer to every nightmare
Or just the sharp end of your lie

Am I your savior or your storm?
Your daughter of the half-light
Half-wrongs
I tear the shadows from the sky
But I don't know who I am inside
They flinch when they just hear my name
Like thunder running under their veins
Breaker of terror
Breaker of bone
But where do I go when the demons are gone?

You carved halos in my scars
Said
This is what you were made for
But every time I crush their hearts
I feel less certain
Feel less sure
I see worlds in my open palm
Whole fates hanging by a thread
One move and a kingdom rises
One breath and a star drops dead

Am I your savior or your storm?
Your daughter of the half-light
Half-wrongs
I tear the shadows from the sky
But I don't know who I am inside
They flinch when they just hear my name
Like thunder running under their veins
Greatest of terrors to the cursed and the cruel
But who am I serving when I follow your rules?

I could set the graves on fire (on fire)
Wake the bones and call them higher
I could turn the reapers blind
Steal the hourglass from time
If every monster fears my breath
If even angels watch their step
Tell me what is left of me
When I am bigger than your death? (Than your death)

Am I your savior or your storm?
Your daughter of the half-light
Half-wrongs
I tear the shadows from the sky
But I don't know who I am inside
They flinch when they just hear my name
Like thunder running under their veins
Legend they whisper when evil takes hold
But I am just searching
Just burning
To know my own soul
