BLACK HALO

[Verse I]
I reached to touch its silent ring,
But felt no heat, no holy sting.
Just echoes of a vow once made,
Now buried deep in ash and shade.
It watched me back, that blackened eye—
Not cruel, not kind—just asking: why?

[Refrain ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

[Verse II]
It formed from lies we left unspoken,
From promises we’ve calmly broken.
It feeds on silence, pride, and fear,
On every cry we didn’t hear.
It hovers still—too vast, too sly—
Why do we watch and walk on by?

[Refrain ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

[Verse III]
It grew when justice lost its name,
When cruelty became a game.
We turned away from shattered pleas,
And called our numbness inner peace.
It darkens skies we once held high—
Why do we let the weak just cry?

[Refrain ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

[Verse IV]
It echoes through the halls of power,
Where truth is bent to feed the hour.
We trade compassion for control,
And carve out silence in the soul.
It waits for us to ask not why—
Why do we let the goodness die?

[Refrain ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

[Verse V]
It mirrors all we fail to mend,
The wounds we mock, the hearts we bend.
We call it fate, we call it law,
But never ask what truth we saw.
It doesn’t move, it doesn’t lie—
Why do we choose to close one eye?

[Refrain ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

[Verse VI]
And now it hangs above our sleep,
A ring of all we failed to keep.
It waits for us to break the spell,
To speak, to rise, to choose, to tell.
It won’t dissolve until we try—
Are we prepared to ask it: "why"?

[Final ]
Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.

Black Halo… halo… drifting slow,
Above the world we think we know.
It dims the will to seek or see,
And folds the truth in reverie.
If you don’t look, it finds your gaze,
And wraps your thoughts in mirrored haze.
