Gentle Monster of Decay

Gentle Monster of Decay
[Intro]
[low cello drone, distant crows, soft piano]
Moon on the field,
Ash on the grain.
Something tall walks softly
through the rain.
[Verse 1]
[slow chillstep beat, trembling violin]
Red hood torn, straw at the seams,
Green eyes glowing through haunted dreams.
Scythe in hand, but not for the weak,
He cuts back rot where the roots cannot speak.
Crows on the shoulder, black wings near,
They know his silence, they know no fear.
A monster of decay with a gardener's grace,
Guarding one bloom in a dying place.
He looks like death, but death looks twice,
For mercy can wear a terrible disguise.
Tall as a warning, calm as a tree,
The field still breathes because he lets it be.
[Pre-Chorus]
[opera voices rise, piano notes echo]
Do not fear the hand
that clears the blight.
Even broken soil
still reaches for light.
[Chorus]
[wide EDM lift, soaring violin and choir]
Gentle monster of decay,
Keep the hungry dark away.
Crows may circle, cold winds call,
Still you stand where petals fall.
Scarecrow guardian, tall and still,
Keeper of meadow, root, and hill.
If life is fragile, let it grow,
You guard the green where shadows go.
[Verse 2]
[cello pulse, soft dubstep bass, crow calls]
By moonlit corn and a ruined well,
He walks the edge where the dead things dwell.
A flower held in a metal hand,
Proof that softness can still command.
Morning comes gold across the wheat,
Warm light gathers around his feet.
Same old cloak, same old scars,
Yet daisies rise beneath the stars.
He never asks for praise or name,
Only that spring survives the flame.
Decay can end what decay began,
So he tends the world as best he can.
[Bridge]
[drums fade, solo piano, operatic hum]
Cut the rot.
Spare the seed.
Take no more
than nature needs.
One black crow,
one crimson rose.
Life finds a path
where nobody knows.
[Final Chorus]
[full choir, cinematic drums, dubstep swell]
Gentle monster of decay,
Guard the living through the gray.
Crows take flight, the dark withdraws,
Green returns beneath your claws.
Scarecrow guardian, grave and kind,
Leave the dead old world behind.
From ash and bone, new roots can start,
A field can bloom inside a haunted heart.
[Outro]
[fading cello, soft crow wings, single piano note]
The reaper came.
The garden stayed.
