MANIAC

[INTRO - Distant police sirens, slow piano, urban ambience, 10 seconds] [VERSE 1 - Mid-tempo deathcore, heavy chugs, orchestral keys, female ethereal clean] He stalks the streets with hungry eyes, He thinks that I'm his final prize. He follows close, he tastes the chase, But I'm the monster in his face. A maniac — they call him that, But I've been killing where he's at, His blade is sharp, his mind is gone, But I'm the darkness he'll be drawn. [CHORUS - Slamming brutal death, blast beats, female screams and gutturals] MANIAC! MANIAC! (SCREAM) HE THINKS HE HUNTS — BUT HE'S THE TRACK! (GUTTURAL) MANIAC! MANIAC! I AM THE KILL — I AM THE ATTACK! [VERSE 2 - Faster grindcore, female gutturals and pig squeals] He pulls his knife, I pull my roots, I feed on flesh, I taste the shoots. He screams — he didn't understand, That I'm the nightmare of the land. No chains can hold me, no gun can kill, I am the fear, I am the thrill, The maniac is dead tonight, I am the one who took his light. [BRIDGE - Slow doom with strings, female spoken word with reverb] "Did you really think... you were the predator?" "I've been hunting since before your kind walked..." [FINAL CHORUS - Maximum velocity, all vocals layered] MANIAC! MANIAC! HE THINKS HE HUNTS — BUT HE'S THE TRACK! MANIAC! MANIAC! I AM THE KILL — I AM THE ATTACK! [OUTRO - Fading sirens, female whisper] "Rest now... maniac..." "I'll find another..."
