[Verse 1] He was a man once Pulled into the dark By a hungry old circle And a blade in the heart
They thought he was finished They thought he was gone But the Void kept his breathing And the night rolled on
[Pre-Chorus] Now he stands at the border Where the world turns thin With a look that can choose you And let the game begin
[Chorus] I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Take the hand I offer And step into the fire I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Let them carry my brand Let them learn what it costs
[Verse 2] Corvo in the shadows Emily with a crown Daud with his silence Billie underground
Granny Rags laughing Delilah in green Each one got a fire Each one got a scene Each one got a mark, burned into their skin
[Pre-Chorus] Some want revenge Some want a throne Some hide from the daylight Some walk alone
[Violi and cello solo]
[Chorus] I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Take the hand I offer And step into the fire I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Let them carry my brand Let them learn what it costs
[Bridge] No saint No god Just a wound in the sky He leans on forever And lets the time go by
He doesn’t save you He doesn’t save you He smiles at the fallout And waits to see what you do
[Chorus] I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Take the hand I offer And step into the fire I mark the chosen I mark the chosen Let them carry my brand Let them learn what it costs
