[INTRO — distorted radio] WELCOME TO VOID CITY… NO RULES. NO MERCY. NO WAY BACK. HAHAHAHA—RUN! [VERSE 1] Neon dripping off the rain tonight, Red eyes glowing in the city light, Hood pulled low, got a storm in my brain, Walking through the fire like I’m dancing with pain. Cyber cops flying while the skyline cracks, Dead souls whispering from the alleys in black, I hear that scythe screaming, “LET ME OUT!” One swing through the darkness—watch the demons get loud! [PRE-CHORUS] I’m not the hero— I’m what they made! Built from the nightmares They couldn't erase! [CHORUS — HUGE] 🔥 SHADOW REQUIEM! 🔥 LET THE WHOLE DAMN CITY SCREAM! RED MOON RISING, EVERYTHING’S BLEEDING, WELCOME TO THE NIGHTMARE IN MY DREAMS! SHADOW REQUIEM! BREAK THE CHAINS! IGNITE THE MACHINE! IF THE WORLD WANTS WAR— I’LL GIVE IT A SCENE! [VERSE 2 — RAP] Boots hit pavement—BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, Got a wolf beside me and a blade of doom, Drone in the sky? Yeah, knock that down, I’m the glitch in the system running through your town. 808 earthquake, speakers explode, Soul fragments bouncing off the neon road, No sleep, no peace, no signal, no law, I’m opening doors that should stay locked forevermore. [BREAKDOWN] WHO SAID I WAS NORMAL?! WHO SAID I WAS SAFE?! WHO SAID THE MONSTERS WEREN’T ALREADY IN MY BRAIN?! SCYTHE HIT—BOOOOOOM! [FINAL CHORUS] SHADOW REQUIEM! LET THE RED SKY FALL! WHEN THE LAST LIGHT DIES— I’LL STILL STAND TALL! SHADOW REQUIEM! THE NIGHT HAS BEGUN! ME AND MY WOLF— WE DON’T RUN FROM ANYONE! [OUTRO — whispered] The city thought I was the monster… pause It was right. 🩸
