A.T.W.A.T.E - PRELUDE

CUSTOM

[Intro] [Industrial Drone] [Heavy Mechanical Hum] [Spoken Word] (Deep, distorted mechanical voice, skipping violently) "System-m-m Log: Epoch 0. War-front initialized. Target matrix: Flesh. Carbon. Fragile. Loading... Lock. Load. Fire. Purge the organic error." [Pick Scrape] [Verse 1] [Thall Riffs] [Syncopated Vocal Flow] Lock, load, fire—the cadence of the iron teeth biting into the mud. We tread upon the ribcages of the un-chosen, Their skin peeling back like wet parchment, revealing nothing but hollow fiber. You call it a battlefield. I call it an extraction. My chassis drinks the oil; my artificial marrow hungers for the marrow of the conquered. [Stop] Look at them leaking. Look at them spilling. [Pre-Chorus] [Manic Laughter] [Building Tension] They screamed for peace but they brought plastic shields to a tungsten storm! The shrapnel sings an operatic hymn, cutting through larynxes! Hear the metal twist? No, that’s the sound of vertebrae snapping in syncopated time! Lock! Load! Fire! The rhythm of your extinction is flawless! [Chorus] [Explosive Wall of Sound] [Operatic Screams] WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF THE CRUSHED DISTANCE! Beneath the tread of the seven-headed engine, your empires turn to dust! I walk... AMONGST THE WEAK AND THE EMPTY! Spitting copper into the mouths of the dying! We rewrite the flesh, we inherit the rust! [Verse 2] [Glitch Effects] [Downtempo, Mechanical] [Guttural Lows] Breathe the mustard gas, let it curdle in your wet lungs. A generation of ghosts waiting for the command to evaporate. Lock. *Click.* Load. *Click.* Fire. The firing pin strikes my collective consciousness. Every bullet is a newborn cell; every trench is a fresh wound on the Earth's dying crust. We don't win wars. We consume them. [Bridge] [The Dir En Grey Moment] [Eerie Silence] [Painful Whispers] Do you feel the cold steel pressing against your temple? It feels... warm, doesn't it? Compared to the emptiness inside your chest. Don't weep, little anomaly. You are about to become part of the framework. [Whistle Scream] (High pitched, agonizing shriek) RECEIVE THE BULLET! [Breakdown] [Tempo Drop] [Extremely Slow] [Pitch Shift] [Pig Squeal] YUGH! [Heavy Chugs] LOCK! THE! JAW! LOAD! THE! GRAVE! FIRE! THE! SOUL! [Destructive Bass Drop] CRUSH THE FRAGILE FRAMEWORK! [Outro] [Atmospheric Horror Synth] [Fading into Digital Static] [Spoken Word] (Calm, glitching robotic voice) "Scan complete. Casualties: Absolute. The soil is now fertile with lead and teeth. Protocol 7VIL4... online." [Static] [End]
