[Intro: Synthesizers dark atmospheric layered ominous - 78 BPM] [A minor, drums ceremonial tribal distant, bass deep drone] [Strings dissonant entering, dark atmosphere establishing] [No guitar, no brass, ritual pulse, something ancient waking] [8 bars - the throne room, crimson light, madness breathing] [Build: Guitar heavy distorted doom riff entering slow - 78 BPM] [Bass deep driving doom, drums tribal powerful] [Synthesizers ominous layered, strings dark sweeping] [French horn dark ominous entering low, brass building] [8 bars - the king rising, the balconies filling with shadow] [Chanting vocals low ceremonial - 78 BPM] [Synthesizers ritualistic, drums tribal, bass doom drone] [4 bars - wordless incantation, the court assembling] [Verse 1: Vocals tenor raw dark ominous commanding - 78 BPM] [Guitar doom riff underneath, bass deep, drums tribal steady] [Synthesizers dark layered, strings dissonant, brass distant] I wore the crown before the tower Before the stones knew how to stand I am the crack in every kingdom The trembling in every hand I watched the pistolman approach me Through deserts I designed Every road that led him forward Was a thread I left behind [French horn dark ominous and trumpet dissonant - 4 bars] [Brass section dark powerful, drums building tribal] [Synthesizers swelling ominous, strings cinematic dark] [Verse 2: Vocals darker building commanding ritualistic - 78 BPM] [Guitar doom heavier, bass deep driving, drums tribal powerful] [Brass dark full, synthesizers layered maximum, strings dissonant] He thinks the tower is salvation He does not know it is my spine Every stair he climbs inside it He climbs deeper into mine I am the red behind the roses The scream inside the horn I was ancient when the worlds were young And patient since they were born [Build to instrumental climax - 78 BPM] [Guitar doom riff maximum, bass deep powerful, drums tribal explosive] [Brass section dark soaring, synthesizers ominous peak] [Strings cinematic dark sweeping, everything rising ominous] [4 bars - the king at full power, all worlds trembling] [Verse 3: Vocals raw dark intimate whispered threatening - 78 BPM] [Synthesizers dark alone almost, drums tribal minimal] [Bass drone, guitar surf reverb dark distant, space] Let him come with iron and tears Let him bring his broken few I have swallowed every ending And the beginning swallows too [Guitar doom riff and full band villain climax - 78 BPM] [16 bars - instrumental villain theme maximum] [French horn dark powerful, trumpet dissonant soaring] [Brass section ominous full, synthesizers layered ritualistic] [Guitar doom riff and surf dark together, drums tribal explosive] [Bass deep driving doom, strings cinematic dark maximum] [Tape echo on everything, the madness made sound] [This is the king, this is the ruin, this is the throne] [Outro: Synthesizers dark fading, drums tribal distant - 78 BPM] [Bass drone fading, strings dissonant trailing] [French horn last dark note, guitar doom riff echo fading] [Tape echo carrying everything into crimson silence] [Chanting vocals distant fading low] [Synthesizer drone Am sustained, fading to dark silence]
