[Intro] (Heavy sub-bass rumble + distant monastic chanting + slow dissonant guitar swells + whispering shadows) [Verse 1 – Abyssal growls] From the Evergloam where light is slain, Nocturnal rises in her velvet reign. Mistress of shadows, queen of the unseen, She cloaks her children in eternal dream. [Pre-Chorus – Tormented layered screams with repetition] Dark… dark… swallow the light… Night… night… eternal night… [Chorus – Throat-shredding abyssal roars] NOCTURNAL! QUEEN OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT! NOCTURNAL! STEAL AWAY THE LIGHT! NOCTURNAL! WRAP THE WORLD IN SHADE! NOCTURNAL! IN DARKNESS WE ARE SAVED! [Verse 2 – Faster, savage growls] Thieves and cutthroats whisper her sacred name, She grants them silence and a shadow’s flame. Palaces fall as her fingers gently pry, Secrets and treasures beneath the velvet sky. [Pre-Chorus] Dark… dark… swallow the light… Night… night… eternal night… [Chorus] NOCTURNAL! QUEEN OF THE ENDLESS NIGHT! NOCTURNAL! STEAL AWAY THE LIGHT! NOCTURNAL! WRAP THE WORLD IN SHADE! NOCTURNAL! IN DARKNESS WE ARE SAVED! [Instrumental Break – 18-22s] (Chaotic dissonant tremolo solo over relentless blast beats, crushing ultra-heavy bass drops, monastic chanting, and whispering shadow sounds) [Breakdown – Slower crushing line, abyssal growls] She is the dark between the stars… She is the thief who steals the light… In her embrace… we disappear… [Final Chorus – Epic escalation with tormented layered screams + monastic chanting] NOCTURNAL! LET THE SUN BE FORGOTTEN! NOCTURNAL! LET THE WORLD BE ROTTEN! NOCTURNAL! ETERNAL SHADOW REIGNS! NOCTURNAL! IN NIGHT WE BREAK OUR CHAINS! [Final Instrumental Outro] (Slow crushing riff with massive sub-bass + fading monastic chanting, night winds, and tormented layered screams dissolving into silence) [Outro – Deep abyssal whisper] Nocturnal… Lady of Shadows… Take us… into the night.
