A Quiet Unraveling in Candlelight
A candlelit hush settles over the Court as secrets slip beneath their masks. This piece follows the quiet unraveling of power in the night—where daggers pass unnoticed, smiles hide fractures, and every vow becomes a weight. Beneath painted faces and whispered lies, the truth bleeds through, revealing how beautiful and broken the Court has always been.
Masks of the Night opens the album with a slow, deliberate descent into the Court’s atmosphere: soft danger, elegant deceit, and the quiet ache of wearing a face for too long. Velvet Abyss carries the emotional center of this world, shaping the track with a mix of vulnerability and poise—caught between the truth beneath their skin and the performance the Court demands.
This isn’t a song about victory or loss. It’s about the in-between: the fragile moment before influence slips from your hands, the heaviness of secrets carried alone, and the strange, haunting beauty of power that glitters even as it fractures.
