About this song
Rebuilt from a dragon's bones in the dark of the Caves of Koilos, the Whispering One returns to finish what Gix began. Every secret you learn is a weapon in her hands, every prayer a testament to her inevitable victory. Feel the chill as Phyrexia's greatest spymaster turns your own knowledge against you.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] I was one of seven thanes In the dross-fed metal dark I outlived them all in whispers Where the others fell to blades The Father made me kneel before her But the kneeling was a knife They built me from a dragon's bones And the engine learned my name [Pre-Chorus] You will never see me coming You will only feel me near [Chorus] Gix failed. I shall not. He came with banners — I come with breath. Every secret you gather, every prayer you have whispered, Already wears my mark. Drink the wine of knowing, Choke upon what you learn. The Whispering One has heard you, And the wheel will turn. [Verse 2] In the Caves of Koilos I returned Where Phyrexia first bled through I planted shadows in every kingdom Every cathar, every crew The lion who carried justice Wore my axe and bowed his head The hero you trusted held the steel — And it was you who bled [Pre-Chorus] You will never see me coming You will only feel me near [Chorus] Gix failed. I shall not. He came with banners — I come with breath. Every secret you gather, every prayer you have whispered, Already wears my mark. Drink the wine of knowing, Choke upon what you learn. The Whispering One has heard you, And the wheel will turn. [Bridge] And when the axe came down at last It was my own work that raised it Norn called me a traitor — I called it the final test The hand I had compleated Wielded the blade I blessed Even in my unmaking, Tell me — did I fail? [Final Chorus] Gix failed. I shall not. He came with banners — I come with breath. Every kingdom you ruled, every god you have prayed to — Already wears my mark. Drink the wine of knowing, Choke upon what you learn. The Whispering One has heard you, And the wheel returns, returns, returns. [Outro] Gix failed. I shall not.
