Where Did Death Go 2

Brooding occult rock with deep tenor male vocals; detuned guitars and dark bass pulsing under a slow, heavy groove, Verses stay tense and close-mic’d, gritty vocal texture; chorus widens with layered low harmonies and distant choral pads for a haunted feel, Kick and toms hit like ritual drums, occasional dissonant synth scrapes and reverse reverb swells for an unsettling, ceremonial atmosphere, male vocals, deep

[Verse 1] Candles drown in blackened wax Ashes clinging to my hands Shadows circle Slow and thin Calling something in But nothing answers Face the mirror Veins of frost Breath hangs heavy Then it’s lost I taste rust upon my tongue Waiting for the final lungful [Chorus] Where did Death go Did he slip away (come out) Is he hiding in the cracks Between the marrow and the grave Where did Death go Did he turn his face (from me) Where can I find him now Or is he just afraid of what I’ll be [Verse 2] I have carved the ancient marks Spoken words that stain the dark Opened doors that should stay sealed Still the spiral wheel refuses me Hear the ticking under skin Every second Sharpened pin If I’m cursed to always stay Why does every step still rot away [Chorus] Where did Death go Did he slip away (so quiet) Is he crouching in the halls Of every promise I betrayed Where did Death go Did he lose my name (or hide it) Where can I find his hand Or is he just afraid of what I’ve made [Bridge] Come take my sight Come claim your debt (hey) I walked the line You haven’t crossed it yet If you won’t come Then I will drag you home I’ll wear your crown Sit on your fractured throne [Chorus] Where did Death go Did he slip away (still waiting) Is he buried in my chest Where the heartbeat used to shake Where did Death go Did he turn to shame (and fade) Where can I find him now Or is he just afraid of what I’ll wake
