Ninety Nine Nights

[Intro] [Verse 1] Ninety-nine nights in the shadowed trees, Whispers of embers fought the freeze. A spark’s last breath, the flames grew thin, The dark poured in, let the hunt begin. [Chorus] Hooves like thunder, eyes like coal, A crown of antlers pierced the soul. Dominic screamed, “We’ll outrun the dawn!” But the forest laughed—its mercy gone. [Verse 2] The stag walked tall on twisted feet, A human face with jaws of meat. Its laughter echoed through the pines, We tripped on roots and bloodied vines. [Bridge] Dominic stumbled, the beast drew near, A guttural hymn, a dirge of fear. His final breath, a broken plea— The deer knelt low, claimed victory. [Chorus] Hooves like thunder, eyes like coal, The antlers dripped where his spirit stole. Ninety-nine nights, but none survive When fire dies and nightmares thrive. [Outro]
