V6

[Intro - Aggressive, low-register death metal growl over double-bass blast beats and a heavy, down-tuned guitar riff] "SEVEN SEALS! BOUND IN BLOOD! The Lamb takes the scroll from the throne of flood! Thunder breaks! The heavens tear wide! Nowhere to run! Nowhere to hide! [Spoken with a chilling, demonic rasp] Death and hell are opening wide... but look to the sky." ​[Verse 1 - Fast, aggressive rap-metal cadence, pounding rhythm] Step into the vision, Revelation chapter six, Where the wicked find their ruin and the holy get their fix! First seal cracks—white horse out the gate, Riding with a hollow crown, sealing up your fate. Second seal snaps, blazing red like a flame, Shedding blood across the dirt, playing empire games! Third seal drops—black horse of despair, Weighing out the meager bread, famine in the air. Fourth seal breaks—pale rider on the pale-ass mare, Hades riding close behind, dragging souls down there! A fourth of the earth choked out in the dust, Turning every mortal empire into ash and rust! [​Chorus - Melodic, soaring clean vocals mixed with heavy death-growl harmonies] [Growl] BREAK THE SEALS! LET THE DARKNESS CONSUME! [Clean] But rise up, look past the shadow and gloom! [Growl] THE WORLD IS A GRAVEYARD, THE RIDER IS NEAR! [Clean] But hope is the dawn that conquers the fear! When the heavens roll back and the mountains collapse, There’s a promise of life waiting after the lapse! God is making all things new! ​[Verse 2 - Picking up speed, triplet flow, relentless and menacing] Fifth seal screams from the base of the altar floor! Martyrs asking, "Oh, how long till we suffer no more?!" White robes given, told to wait for the end, While the wicked burn down everything they defend! Sixth seal hits—earthquake shattering the stone! Sun turns black as sackcloth, shaking every throne! Kings and captains hiding in the dirt and the caves, Begging for the mountains to become their open graves! Saying, "Who can survive when His anger is hurled?" Yeah, the darkness has a stranglehold right on the world! ​[Bridge - Slowing down to a heavy, sludgy, menacing breakdown groove] [Deep growl, heavily distorted] The world... is... bleeding. Every soul... is... pleading. The serpent thinks he wins when the darkness takes the crown... [Music builds and speeds up frantically] ...BUT GOD WILL BRING THE NEW JERUSALEM DOWN! ​[Verse 3 - High-energy, explosive rap verse] Seventh seal torn—holy silence in the height, Half an hour of quiet before the thunderous light! Yeah, the path is brutal and the grave is real, Death metal justice on the final seal! The blood and the ash and the terror and the tears, Are just washing away all the sorrow and the fears! ​[Chorus - Massive, arena-filling sound] [Growl] BREAK THE SEALS! LET THE DARKNESS CONSUME! [Clean] But rise up, look past the shadow and gloom! [Growl] THE WORLD IS A GRAVEYARD, THE RIDER IS NEAR! [Clean] But hope is the dawn that conquers the fear! When the heavens roll back and the mountains collapse, There’s a promise of life waiting after the lapse! God is making all things new! ​[Outro - Fast, chaotic blast beats fading into a single, ringing, clean acoustic chord of hope] [Growl] The seals are gone! [Scream] The dead rise up! [Clean, soft, angelic vocal] The dark is just a shadow... And the morning sun is coming up. He wipes away every tear from their eyes. Death is swallowed in victory. [Final heavy, low-tuned guitar chug, fading into silence solo]
