Kashmir - Evil Never Dies

[Verse 1: Half-time 4/4 groove, detuned palm-muted riff] Caged in the shadows where daylight won't tread, Buried alive in the weight of what's said. A ghost in the system, no name, just a face, Time sharpens its blade in this desolate place. [Verse 2: syncopated snare, kick pattern] Bloodlines of rot and the sins of the father, Born into ruin, the outcast, the bother. Labeled a threat before he could speak, Judged by a jury that hides in the weak. His fate pre-decided, no chance to defend, The sentence is life, and it won't ever end. [Verse 3: sludge riff] Cold steel on flesh, the stillness deceives, Eyes sewn shut, but the mind still believes. Laid on a slab with the numbers erased, Ignored as a corpse in a world so disgraced. The breathless mistaken for silence and peace, But silence can rage when the heartbeat won't cease. [Verse 4: Half-time stomp, cymbal wash] Shadows twitch — his eyes rip wide, The dead don’t stay dead when there’s fire inside. [Verse 5: Harmonized lead shriek, snare rolls] Born of betrayal, reborn in hate, No cage, no chain can alter his fate. [Verse 6] Knuckles on pine, splinters and screams, He claws through the casket, unhinging the seams. [Verse 7: Half-time mosh groove] Vengeance unleashed, the red river flows, He hunts down the names every coward knows. [Outro: monolithic riff, end to Sustained chord fades into feedback] Shadows don't rest, and blood never dries, Evil's a current that never denies. Buried or burned, it always returns, Evil never dies, and it never unlearns.
