Thorthu's Gates

[CINEMATIC INTRO — LOW COSMIC RUMBLE, DISTANT WHISPERS] SYSTEM ALERT… DIMENSIONAL BARRIERS COLLAPSING. THORTHU HAS AWAKENED. XC: “Nobody opens those gates. Nobody.” THE WITCH: “Then why is that mushroom touching the controls?” DJ MUSHROOM: “Relax, everybody! I know exactly what I'm doing!” [RECORD SCRATCH] DJ MUSHROOM: “Oops.” [VERSE 1 — DARK MALE VOCALS] Beyond the stars, beyond the light, Thorthu rises into the night. A thousand doors begin to glow, And something ancient starts to grow. XC stands tall with a burning blue flame, The Witch whispers an unspeakable name. But in the shadows, beneath the bass, A mushroom smiles with a beat from space. [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE WITCH VOCALS] There's a frequency hidden in sound, A key to the gates buried underground. No god, no king, no cosmic machine… Can unlock what the mushroom's about to unleash! [BUILD-UP — ROBOTIC WHISPERS] TRALA… TRALA… TRALA-LA-LÈRE… FREQUENCY DETECTED. DIMENSIONAL LOCKS DISENGAGING. THORTHU: “WHAT IS THAT SOUND?!” DJ MUSHROOM: “MY NEW SINGLE, BABY!” [DROP 1 — PSYCHEDELIC TRIBAL HOUSE] TRALALA LALÈRE! OPEN THE GATES, SHAKE THE SPHERE! TRALALA LALÀ! THE WHOLE MULTIVERSE IS GOING HA-HA-HA! XC! PROTECT THE BEAT! WITCH! CONTROL THE HEAT! THORTHU'S GATES ARE OPEN WIDE… AND MUSHROOM'S TAKING US FOR A RIDE! [VERSE 2 — FAST, DRIVING BASS] XC blocks a blast of dimensional fire, The Witch builds a shield that reaches higher. Thorthu sends monsters from worlds unknown, But every new beat turns their armies to foam! The Witch screams, “MUSHROOM, CHANGE THAT TRACK!” XC shouts, “WE NEED THE GATE CLOSED BACK!” DJ Mushroom grins, adjusts his hat… “Sorry, guys! This beat is where it's at!” [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC CUTS TO A HEARTBEAT] THE WITCH: “Listen to me. One wrong frequency and reality will collapse.” XC: “You have one job. Play the closing sequence.” DJ MUSHROOM: “Got it. The closing sequence.” [PAUSE] DJ MUSHROOM: “But what if we add a little techno?” XC: “DON'T YOU DARE!” [BUILD-UP 2 — ORCHESTRAL STRINGS, INDUSTRIAL DRUMS] Blue fire rising… Purple skies breaking… The gates of infinity are shaking! XC: “NOW!” THE WITCH: “SEAL THE PORTAL!” THORTHU: “YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME!” DJ MUSHROOM: “WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DEFEAT?” [FINAL DROP — EPIC PSYCHEDELIC EDM / INDUSTRIAL TRIBAL] TRALALA LALÈRE! LIGHTNING CRACKS THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE! TRALALA LALÀ! THORTHU'S EMPIRE IS FALLING APART! BLUE FLAME! PURPLE FIRE! MUSHROOM TAKES THE GROOVE HIGHER! ONE LAST BEAT, ONE LAST SOUND… THE KING OF GATES IS GOING DOWN! [CHORUS — MASSIVE CROWD + CHOIR] TRALALA! TRALALA! THE GATES ARE CLOSING NOW! TRALALA! TRALALA! THE MULTIVERSE WILL NOT BOW! XC FOREVER! WITCH TOGETHER! MUSHROOM POWER! WE SURVIVE THE FINAL HOUR! [OUTRO — SUDDEN SILENCE, DISTANT COSMIC ECHO] THORTHU: “Impossible… What frequency is this?” DJ MUSHROOM: “The remix.” XC: “It's over.” THE WITCH: “For now.” [SMALL ELECTRONIC BEEP] DJ MUSHROOM: “Hey, guys… I think I opened another one.” XC AND THE WITCH: “WHAT?!” [ONE FINAL BASS HIT] DJ MUSHROOM: “TRALALA LALÈÈÈÈRE!” [END — MYSTERIOUS LAUGHTER, DISTANT PORTAL HUM]
