Lyrics for Black Knife

I am not exactly a fan of MotI's lyricization of Black Knife, so I'm making this now, and I think I might actually record this and edit it onto the song at some point when I have some free time.

Admittedly, most of the lyrics aren't actually mine, but I did do some polishing and switching out some lines.

Lyrics

[intro]
Kris: As I watch the horror amass
Knight: You shall not pass until I’ve
Both: Finished with that which must be done
Knight: My solemn
Knight: Duty

Kris: Fountains of darkness tower
Kris: Over this field of powder
Kris: In which we meet
Knight: Is it not fate?
Both: Or is our bond innate?

Knight: You cannot impede the righteous path
Knight: So lay
Knight: Down your arms and submit to wrath
Knight: Passing seconds count down to your doom
Knight: So brace
Knight: Yourself for the impending swoon

Dess: Don’t you remember the time when
Asriel: (we used to sing together)
ALL: All we are has led to this
Knight: Vision narrowed on ambition
Knight alt: (to fulfill my destiny)
Kris: Heartbeats twisted in the fight
Knight: Tempests of fury surround me
All present: (to secure this victory)
Knight, menacing: Now you will kneel in silence

EDIT: It occurred to me that there'd be multiple voices so I added labels
Both means Kris and the Knight
ALL means... All
All present means all except Dess and Asriel
Knight alt means an altered version of the Knight voice

There's also a pretty specific way the lyrics would come together (there's like 7 voices[1]) so idk


  1. Kris, the Knight, Dess, Asriel, Susie and Ralsei ↩︎

(Yeah you caught me but yeah I changed stuff and you can't argue that these lyrics would go really hard if someone actually sung them)

I mean I only have one set of vocal cords too but I was just thinking I'd sing in different tones and actually use sound editing on some of them

Yeah but see i don’t know how to do that
