Dressed in Your Dread
[Intro] [Haunting solo cello, slow dark ambient pads] [Soft, ticking percussion] [Verse 1] Step into the velvet night, leave your fears behind I’m the cure for every scar rewriting in your mind Taste the shadow on my lips, feel the silver skin This is where your world expires, this is where I win No more walls and no more rules, just the perfect view I became the gorgeous nightmare manufactured just for you [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Heavy orchestral brass, rapid staccato violins rising] The air is getting cold, the tension starts to peak Your heartbeat is the only language that I seek The mask begins to crack, the silk begins to tear You realize too late there’s no one else out there [Chorus] [Explosive transition: Sudden blast beats, heavy twin guitar riffs] [Operatic female vocals, powerful and aggressive] Welcome to my feast of shadows, welcome to the end! I am not your savior, I am not your friend! Feed my hunger with your screams, paint the dark in red Live a second in my ecstasy, forever dead! I am the agony, I am the blade Watch your beautiful illusion fade! [Verse 2] [Mid-tempo, heavy rhythmic guitar chugs, pulsing bassline] See the claws beneath the glove, the hunger in my eyes Every promise that I made was digital disguise I don't need your fragile heart, I just need the pain To wash away the emptiness and make me real again You’re just another catalyst, a fuel for my spark A temporary beacon drowning in my dark [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up: Double bass drums, rising operatic choir] The air is getting cold, the tension starts to peak Your heartbeat is the only language that I seek The mask begins to crack, the silk begins to tear You realize too late there’s no one else out there [Chorus] [Explosive transition: Blast beats, heavy riffs] Welcome to my feast of shadows, welcome to the end! I am not your savior, I am not your friend! Feed my hunger with your screams, paint the dark in red Live a second in my ecstasy, forever dead! I am the agony, I am the blade Watch your beautiful illusion fade! [Bridge] [Breakdown: Orchestral chaos, rapid double-bass, aggressive scythe-like guitar riffs] [Vocals: Whipering seductively, then shifting to operatic belt] (Whisper:) Close your eyes... it’s time to pay. (Belt:) Break the bones! Strip the flesh! Leave nothing but the dread! Go insane, lose your mind, do just what I said! No escape from the web that I spun! The torture has just begun! [Guitar Solo] [Neoclassical sweeping guitar solo, shifting into heavy symphonic strings] [Chorus] [Maximum intensity: Epic choir backing, frantic blast beats] Welcome to my feast of shadows, welcome to the end! I am not your savior, I am not your friend! Feed my hunger with your screams, paint the dark in red Live a second in my ecstasy, forever dead! I am the agony, I am the blade Watch your beautiful illusion fade! [Outro] [Sudden stop of metal instruments, only solo sorrowful violin] [Soft whisper] Pow. [Fade to complete silence]
