Rot With Me!
Rot With Me! [Intro]: (A lonely, weeping Shamisen melody, plucked with aggressive, percussive intensity. It is joined by a low, humming feedback that swells into a sudden, crushing, palm-muted Drop-F guitar chug. The double bass drum enters like a frantic heartbeat.) [Verse 1] The lanterns bleed a sickly, crimson light Reflecting in the blades we hide tonight The smell of incense masks your drying skin A summer vow—a sweet, serrated sin I pull the silk ties tight around your wrists My shadow dances where the cooling moonlight twists You promised me a life inside this shrine Now every drop you spill is only mine [Pre-Chorus] (Music cuts to silence, save for a high-pitched, ethereal vocal wail—hollow and haunting) Aaaah-ah-ah... (The Shamisen returns, frantic, playing in a dark Phrygian dominant scale) The cicadas scream because they know the end I am your lover, your god, and your only friend! [Chorus] (Explosive wall of sound: Heavy, dissonant riffing, double-bass carnage) I will stitch my shadow to your beating heart! Tear the world of light and let us fall apart! Don’t look away! I’m burning through your veins! My love is the iron, my love is the chains! (Scream - raw, throat-shredding) DO YOU FEEL ME NOW?! [Verse 2] (Staccato, stop-start chugs, rhythmic and aggressive) One. Cut. For the promise you broke. Two. Cuts. Like the fire and the smoke. I trace the lines upon your porcelain face Lost in the heat of a ritual embrace You’re trembling—is it fear or is it lust? Everything you cherish turns to sacred dust The festival is loud, but you cannot scream Wake up, darling, to my beautiful dream. [Bridge] (The music drops into a slow, menacing groove. Eerie, discordant Shamisen solos weave between crushing, low-tuned power chords.) (Whispered, sensual female vocal) Stay exactly where you are. The night is young, and the stars are so far. If you try to run… (Sudden, jarring feedback scream) I’LL UNMAKE WHAT WE ARE! [Guitar Solo]: (A chaotic, dissonant shredding session that mimics the frantic plucking of the Shamisen, building into a wall of feedback.) [Outro] (Double-bass drum intensifies into a crushing, repetitive pulse) Burn with me! (Heavy Chug) Bleed with me! (Heavy Chug) Rot with me! (Final, dissonant chord sustains into infinite feedback) (The sound of a single Shamisen string snapping with a sharp, metallic ping. Silence.)
