The Faithless (Nine Inch Remix)

[Intro](Cold, mechanical synth drone. A solitary, repeating glitched electronic drum tap.)[Verse 1](Intimate whisper, right against the microphone. Very sparse instrumentation.)I built my altar out of bones,Lit the fire, prayed alone.You watched me crawl through every sin,Still took the only peace I'd been.[Pre-Chorus](A low, pulsing, distorted bassline enters. Delivery grows tense and breathless.)I spoke Your name till my voice gave out,Now the silence is what I shout.[Chorus](The beat drops out completely, replaced by a sudden, sterile acoustic piano melody.)I’m one of the faithless,Still begging for a sign.You say You’re in the ashes,But I only taste the grime.If love’s the lesson, teach me whyThe purest hearts still bleed to die.[Verse 2](A heavy, crushing, distorted electronic drum loop slams in. Delivery becomes a sneer.)I’ve seen the saints with hollow eyes,Turn their backs, baptized in lies.I found no mercy in their hands,Just empty words and wedding bands.[Pre-Chorus](Instruments decay into noisy digital static.)I keep my prayers beneath my breath,Trading grace for quiet death.[Bridge - Part 1: The Descent](Rhythm section becomes erratic, syncopated, and frantic.)If You hear me — don’t forgive me,Just admit You made me break.If the plan was pain and pity,Then my soul’s Your first mistake.[Bridge - Part 2: The Loop / Breakdown](The music starts to fracture. These lines are shouted repeatedly like a broken machine.)I’m one of the faithless,Still begging for a sign.You say You’re in the ashes,But I only taste the grime.If love’s the lesson, teach me whyThe purest hearts still bleed to die.[Outro / Climax](A violent wall of screaming guitars, blinding white-noise distortion, and maximum volume. Pure vocal fury.)I’m one of the faithless,Still standing where You fell.If Heaven’s built on suffering,Then I’ve earned my seat in hell.I’m one of the faithless…Still praying You can tell.[Outro / Fade](The heavy instruments suddenly stop. Only the cold, glitched electronic loop from the intro remains, slowing down until it clicks off.)I’m one of the faithless…
