THE SERMON 2nd Version

[Intro: Slow, Dark Dungeon Synth, Church Organ, Vinyl Crackle, Whispered] Pastor Eli... twenty two years faithful... He heard whispers between the hymns... (He's not praying... he's preying...) [Verse 1: Memphis Phonk, Evil Carnival Calliope, Cowbell, 140 BPM] White collar, black coffee, bible on the nightstand, Same sermon, same sheep, same stain on the right hand, Prayed for peace but the voice talk back in the glass, Holy water burn when he try to wash his face, Halo heavy, halo cracking, halo slipping fast, Same collection plate clang, but it never gonna pass. [Chorus: Trap Metal, Distorted Guitars, Screamed + Rapped, Mosh Pit Energy] I'M ON FIRE IN THE PULPIT! SMILE CRACKED CAN'T HOLD IT! HALO BENT NOW IT'S BROKEN! GOD DON'T HEAR WHAT I'M SPOKEN! Let it SNAP! Let it SNAP! Preacher man with a wicked laugh! HA! [Verse 2: Witch House Half-Time, Bell Arpeggio, Choir Chant, 75 BPM] Sunday morning, congregation humming, Eli walk up but his eyes ain't coming, Bible black now, pages bleeding, Ink run red when the good book breathing, Look at the choir, they singing flat, Look at the cross, it fade to black, Twenty two years never missed a day... One Sunday he gonna make 'em all stay... (Stay... stay... stay...) [Breakdown: Beat Stop, Mic Feedback, Industrial Siren, Spoken Evil] Y'ALL WANTED A SIGN?! Y'ALL WANTED THE TRUTH?! I BEEN PREACHING HEAVEN WITH A MOUTH FULL OF ROOTS! I BEEN SAVING Y'ALL WHILE I'M ROTTING IN THE BOOTH! [Verse 3: Full Evil, G-Funk Whine + Phonk Drums + Carnival Lead, 142 BPM] Evil clown in the pulpit now, paint smile with ash, Cross flip in the reflection of the offering glass, Halo slid off like a chain to the floor - CLANK, Choir stopped singing when the doors locked - BANG, I'm the sermon you deserve, not the one you need, Holy ghost left early, left the building haunted, Welcome to my Sunday, you finally wanted it! [Bridge: Lo-Fi Music Box, Detuned Piano, Whispered] He laugh... ha ha... in the holy place, Tears of black run down his holy face, Not praying... preying... [Outro: Industrial Phonk Degrading, Tape Stop, Burning Organ, Slow to 60 BPM] Let the record show... Pastor Eli never left the church... The church left him... Amen. [Sound FX: collection plate spinning then stops, child giggle, static cut]
