⸻ 🎼 “I Need the Antidote (Eternal Hunger)” ⸻ [Intro | pipe organ drone | distant wind | low choir] Mirror shows a hollow figure No breath fogs the glass Centuries stare back through me Nothing living ever lasts Oh ⸻ [Verse 1 | slow build | low strings + pulse] I’m on the brink of the brink Night is all that I drink Every shadow I wear Every face isn’t there Cobblestone under my feet Hunting hearts in the street Every whisper I hear Pulls another one near ⸻ [Pre-Chorus | rising tension | choir swell] Call their name, draw them close Hide the hunger they don’t know Every step they take to me Seals another memory ⸻ [Chorus | gothic lift | cathedral tone] I need the antidote This endless hunger buried in my soul I need the antidote Another life just to feel control I need the antidote I need the night I need the blood Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 1 | low chant | ritual pulse] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Through the dark I roam Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out No heart, no home ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 0 | short | hammered dulcimer tremble → violin swell] ⸻ [Verse 2 | more movement | eerie melody] Ancient walls know my name Every century the same Every lover I take Just another soul to break Moonlight guides every move Through the graves that I prove Time has no hold on me Just this endless need to feed ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 | stronger] I remember being alive Now I only just survive Every drop keeps me near But it drowns me in fear ⸻ [Chorus 2 | heavier | darker tone] I need the antidote This endless hunger buried in my soul I need the antidote Another life just to feel control I need the antidote I need the night I need the blood Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 2 | escalation] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Through the ages I fall Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’ve outlived them all ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 1 | violin lead | dramatic | sweeping] ⸻ [Bridge / Verse 3 | drop | intimate horror tone] Faces blur into dust and time Names I drank but can’t recall Every life I ever took Echoes through these endless halls If there’s a cure, it’s buried deep In a death I’ll never meet So I walk this cursed design Forever feeding, never free ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 2 | flute + ambient synth | ghostly] ⸻ [Final Chorus | biggest | tragic tone] I need the antidote Something to end what I’ve become I need the antidote Silence deeper than the sun I need the antidote I need release I need the end Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Outro Chant | fading | hollow] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Still I walk alone Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out No flesh, no bone ⸻ [Final Line | whisper] I cannot die ⸻
