[instrumental piano] (Intro: Instrumental piano, slow build-up with haunting piano, joined by guitars and a steady drumbeat.) [Verse 1] Through misted veils, hooves carve dread, Phantom mares where the fearless fled. Breath of cinder, eyes like graves, The night unbinds what daylight saves. (chill whispers) [change tempo] Whispered sins in velvet chains, Flesh aflame, yet cold remains. A shadow pressed, desire’s snare, The Incubus waits—he lingers there. (Chill whispers) [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-chorus] Through her screams, he weaves his spell, A siren’s lament in a private hell. The mare stands still, eyes void of grace, A black abyss, an unholy space [change tempo] [Chorus] Riding the storm of eternal plight, The black mare gallops through darkest night. Nightmare, Dread, Is it dream, or is it real? The Mære of the Night's here. (Despair In Fear) [Verse 2] Beneath the weight of the darkened tide, A restless heart is forced to confide. Hands that touch but never hold, Promises burn as they’re bought and sold. [change tempo] [piano solo] [Verse 3] See them now, on the edge of dawn, A phantom herd where no light is drawn. Each hoofbeat echoes a haunting song, Reality fades as the night grows long. [Instrumental break: Extended guitar solo with harmonized leads, transitioning to a melancholy violin interlude, supported by eerie choral harmonies.] [Bridge] Desire blooms, a poisonous rose, Her agony deepens, yet still she’s close. Bound to him, by a lover’s fright, Forever chased by the Mære of the Night. [Chorus] Riding the storm of eternal plight, The black mare gallops through darkest night. Nightmare, Dread, Is it dream, or is it real? The Mære of the Night's here. (Despair In Fear) [Complex time signature change, featuring a combination of sitar and synth, followed by a blistering drum solo leading into a twin-guitar harmony.] [Chorus] Riding the storm of eternal plight, The black mare gallops through darkest night. Nightmare, Dread, Is it dream, or is it real? The Mære of the Night's here. (Despair In Fear) [Outro: A symphonic crescendo with organ, and heavy guitars, descending into a final lone piano note as the sound of galloping fades into silence.] AAAHH, OUOUUUOUUUOUU NO [Instrumental break: Extended guitar solo with harmonized leads, transitioning to a melancholy violin interlude, supported by eerie choral harmonies.] AAAHH, OUOUUUOUUUOUU NO [Complex time signature change, featuring a combination of sitar and synth, followed by a blistering drum solo leading into a twin-guitar harmony.] [Chorus] Riding the storm of eternal plight, The black mare gallops through darkest night. Nightmare, Dread, Is it dream, or is it real? The Mære of the Night's here. (Despair In Fear) [Outro: A symphonic crescendo with organ, and heavy guitars, descending into a final lone piano note as the sound of galloping fades into silence.] [end]
