0:00 – Intro (0:40) Distant zombie moans and shuffling footsteps fade in over a low cinematic drone and cold bass pulse. Sparse, echoing guitar notes. No full drums yet. Feels like walking through an empty, ruined city at night.0:40 – Verse 1 Drums enter soft and steady (like a heartbeat or marching feet). Clean-ish but dark guitars. Vocal is almost spoken/sung, cold and observational: “Walking amongst the dead…”1:15 – Pre-Chorus Slight lift — more atmosphere swells. “Eyes wide open / God’s breath inside of me”1:25 – Chorus 1 Everything opens up. Heavier guitars (Bad Wolves-style punch), bigger drums, layered vocals on the “zombie-ie-ie-ie.” Still keeps the gothic coldness underneath so it doesn’t just turn into a rock anthem.1:55 – Verse 2 Drops back down but a little darker and denser than Verse 1. More distortion on the edges. “Devils laughing loud / As the world burns down…”2:30 – Pre-Chorus → Chorus 2 Same structure, but the second chorus hits harder and wider.3:00 – Bridge Strips almost everything away for a moment — just bass, drone, and voice. Then slowly builds with swelling cinematic layers and distant choir-like textures. “Born from a broken mold… Eyes wide open / God’s breath inside of me I will not sleepwalk…”3:40 – Verse 3 Full band returns with more urgency and aggression. Guitars get thicker. “City of the living dead…”4:10 – Final Chorus Biggest moment of the song. Double-tracked or gang vocals on the hook, extra guitar layers, cinematic hits. Ends on: “Wake up before you die”4:40 – Outro / Warning (0:20) Music collapses back to the original intro drone and zombie sounds. Single, close, dark spoken voice (almost a whisper that cuts through): “Don’t sleepwalk through this life. The dead are already walking. Stay awake… Or become one of them.”Then it fades into silence or a final low drone.
