[Cold Open (drum bait)] Kick—kick—SNARE! (2/4 hit) (whisper) Don’t look up— [Riff A (gtr-led) / Verse 1 (rap-scream)] Salt on my lips, black tide in my lungs Docklights glitch—then the skyline stuns Letters from stars in a crooked old tongue Ph’nglui— (N.C.) I bite it and it’s sung Green in the cracks of the moonlit pier The sea keeps laughing with no one near I count my breaths like rusted beads Each one a door that the dark world needs [Hook (unison)] Praise the Deep—CTHULHU RISE! (gang) Break the mind—open the skies! (gang) Name in my mouth—bitter, sweet Kneel to the void—feel the beat! (gang) [A’ (bass-forward) / Verse 2 (rap-growl)] Pick-bass slides, my spine goes cold A shadow swims where the sirens fold Marked by a dream I never chose A cyclopean city under my skull Stone has a pulse, and it calls my name (Phrygian ♭2 stab) I’m not the same Your prayers are meat, your gods are small He’s the hole where the heavens fall [Hook (unison)] Praise the Deep—CTHULHU RISE! (gang) Break the mind—open the skies! (gang) Name in my mouth—bitter, sweet Kneel to the void—feel the beat! (gang) [Breakdown (half-time ~95) (drums+bass first, guitar late) + Guitar Solo] (Drums + bass only — 4 bars; hard stops) Lead: Who dreams in me— Gang: HE DOES! Lead: Who eats the sun— Gang: HE DOES! Lead: Who bends my spine— Gang: HE DOES! (2/4 hit) Lead: WHO AM I— Gang: HIS! (Guitar enters late — breakdown chug grid; hard stops) [* Guitar Solo — 8–12 bars, madness-leaning; key C. Core: C Phrygian (Db bite) with frequent Half-Whole Diminished bursts (C Db Eb E F# G A Bb) and jagged chromatic cells. Phrasing: atonal stabs, tritone dyads (C–F#, Db–G), tremolo-picked dissonance, divebomb whammy drops, pinched harmonics squeals, scraped strings, abrupt stop-start glitches to mirror hard N.C. cuts; minimal melody, maximum “wrong angles.” Rhythm: sync to 3+3+2 accents, then intentionally slip a half-beat for vertigo before snapping back. Under: drums+bass hard-stop grid. Last 2 bars: solo-only cadenza with descending chromatic collapse → 1/2-beat N.C. → Call/Response re-entry. *] [Call & Response] Lead: No light— Gang: NO LAW! Lead: No God— Gang: NO AWE! Lead: Just deep— Gang: JUST TEETH! (N.C.) Lead: Just— Gang: SLEEP! [Thrash burst (180 BPM)] Teeth in the galaxies, claws in the calm Angles that hurt, like a broken psalm Star-salt visions, skulls that sing We sprint on the edge of the naming thing No pads, no peace, just steel and spit We laugh at the map till the map won’t fit [Final Hook (unison) + hard N.C. cut] Praise the Deep—CTHULHU RISE! (gang) Break the mind—open the skies! (gang) R’lyeh awakens—COMING UP! (gang) (1-beat stop) (N.C.)
