The Deluge Within

[Intro – atmospheric guitar / percussive pulse] (whispers over reverb) All that’s buried will rise... All that’s pure will drown... [Verse 1] Beneath the static, a storm awakes, A pulse of truth in all that breaks. Currents coil beneath my skin, The flood begins where I begin. [Verse 2] Ancient circuits hum in grief, The gods dissolve in disbelief. The tide ascends, it takes, it frees, The drowning birth of what must be. [Pre-Chorus] (half-spoken, half-sung) No heavens split — no savior’s sound, Only silence pulling down. [Chorus] Rising waters in my veins, Wash the lies, erase the names. The temples fall, the mountains bow, I am the flood that takes me now. [Instrumental / Solo – polymetric section] (swirling delays, tension-building drums — time shifts 7/8 → 4/4 → 5/4) [Verse 3] No ark, no stone, no ground remains, The self dissolves in primal rain. A mirror shatters, breath released, The beast within becomes the priest. [Verse 4] Ancient echoes bleed through bone, Prophets whisper from the drone. Wrath or mercy, both the same — Water knows not whom to blame. [Chorus] Rising waters in my veins, Wash the lies, erase the names. The temples fall, the mountains bow, I am the flood that takes me now. [Bridge – meditative chant / slow build] Through the current, thought unwinds, Truth erodes the form divine. Every breath a grain of sand, Every drop — a god’s command. [Solo – layered, delay-soaked, melodic dissonance] [Final Chorus – slower, heavier] Raging waters, purge and cleanse, The serpent coils, the circle bends. All I was is washed away, In the flood... I find my way. [Outro – ambient decay] (slow fading echoes, whispered refrain) When the flood recedes... What remains is me.
