Don’t Look Up

(Horror Film Score / Dark Ambient – Stalking) (Dissonant strings, deep, eerie synth pads, low rumble, melancholic guitar leads in reverb, sharp stingers, distant black metal shriek) [Horror Intro] [Low rumble + deep drone enter] [Eerie synth pads fade in] Fluorescent corpses flicker and die [Dissonant strings, high and thin] Corridors breathe mold and time [Melancholic guitar lead, ice-cold tremolo] A wheelchair waits, no one there The Walls keep every scream [Sharp stinger] And the creature keeps its glare Graffiti bleeds forgotten ink. “Don’t look up” — a final plea [Distant high-pitched black metal shriek] I feel what hangs above the lights Six pale arms unfold. Cold and silent Ready to strike [Skritch… skritch… metallic scrape] Skritch… skritch… through the pipes Abomination that never felt the light Skritch... skritch... it’s hunting now Nowhere to go, hands reach out like falling snow, Trapped alone, It lowers slow A dreadful face of flesh and bone [Sharp stinger] --- **(Horror Film Score / Atmospheric Black Metal – Attack)** **Brass:** 4 stopped horns, 3 tenor trombones, 2 bass trombones, 1 contrabass tuba [Sudden full orchestral hit — ff dissonant low-brass cluster: 3 tenors + 2 bass trombones + tuba in tight minor 2nds, + timpani & bass drum, completely dry] [Chaotic brass stabs — 4 stopped horns + 3 trombones + bass trombone, irregular] IT DROPS! [High-pitched black metal shriek] [Rapid sharp stingers] Claws rip through flesh like open gifts Ribs crack under curious hands Pinned to the peeling wall [Heavy mid-range hit — 4 stopped horns + 3 trombones cluster, short decay] A specimen for closer study and more Tear the chest — slow, precise My blood runs over tiled floor Jaw unhinged, the scream becomes. A pathetic, useless sound Fingers dig beneath the skin Layer by layer, tears flesh away Again and again [Short brutal hits on each “again” — 2 muted tenor trombones + bass trombone + hard timpani, dry] It tilts its head and drinks the fear While I still kick and I still breathe It takes me in... my life ends here [Sudden silence] --- **(Dark Ambient / Death-Doom – Aftermath)** (Thick deep drones, wet low rumble, eerie pads, decaying melancholic guitars, slow lingering reverb) It feeds while light still burns Tongue tracing broken bone A claw behind my fractured skull Keeps me still for deeper reach The mouth opens wide, one last mumbled plea. Before the death that will become of me [Heavy Breakdown] [Final slow orchestral hit — bass trombone + contrabass trombone/tuba in dark open fifth, long decay into drone] The corridor shrinks to one mouth Wet grinding chew, wet horrid swallow I’ve become a meal between teeth The last warmth snuffed from Ward C When it’s done, lights die out Only dripping water keeps the count Ward C slips back into black As something full crawls back into dark. And now you know… …don’t look up. [Last low rumble dies. Absolute silence.]
