Curse Beneath The Sea

[Verse 1 --- eerie underwater ambience, low droning bass, soft haunting strings] Down in the ocean at the bottom of the sea, There lies a chest that will curse ye. Pain and hatred, blood and revenge, The curse infects and kills loose ends. Only the strongest will bear the weight, For the curse holds the strongest hate. Ancient power sealed in bone, Waiting for a heart of stone. [Chorus --- building drums, dark fiddle, haunting choir harmonies, deep cello swells] The depths are calling, calling thee, Come down and claim your destiny. Through crushing waves and drowning screams, The chest awaits beneath your dreams. But only one shall rise again, Forever changed beyond all ken. The curse will test with pain and fear— Only the strong survive down here. [Verse 2 --- ghostly whispers, creaking ship wood, distant thunder, minor key piano] The whispers rise from waters black, They call the sailors, no turning back. "Come to me," the voices cry, "Beneath the waves where treasures lie." The strongest hear but few will heed, For most will drown in cursed greed. Ships are pulled to depths unknown, Their crews now lost, their fate is sown. [Chorus --- heavier drums, layered male vocals, dramatic brass hits, drums like rolling thunder] The depths are calling, calling thee, Come down and claim your destiny. Through crushing waves and drowning screams, The chest awaits beneath your dreams. But only one shall rise again, Forever changed beyond all ken. The curse will test with pain and fear— Only the strong survive down here. [Bridge --- isolated vocals, dramatic pause, then building orchestral swell, church bells] One soul descends through crushing tide, With greed and hatred as their guide. They grasp the chest with trembling hands, The curse awakens, makes demands. "Serve me well and you shall reign, But betray me, die in pain." The power flows through bone and vein, The cursed lord shall rise again. [Final Chorus --- full orchestral explosion, war drums, epic brass fanfare, layered choirs] The depths have spoken, chosen thee, Now rise and claim your destiny. Through blood and death and endless screams, You'll build an empire from your dreams. The curse has found its perfect ken, Forever changed beyond all men. With power dark and heart of fear— The tyrant's reign begins from here.
