INFERNAL CLOWN

[INTRO - Creepy carnival music, children's laughter, distant sewer echo, 12 seconds] [VERSE 1 - Slow death doom, heavy chugs, eerie strings, female ethereal clean] Derry's streets are dark with fear, The clown appears — he draws you near. Red balloons and silver fangs, He feeds on terror, he feeds on gangs. But Scarlett knows his hungry game, She is the one who makes him tame, She is the nightmare he can't eat, She is the terror on his feet. [CHORUS - Slamming brutal death, blast beats, female screams and gutturals] INFERNAL CLOWN! INFERNAL CLOWN! (SCREAM) HE FLOATS ABOVE — BUT I'M THE DROWN! (GUTTURAL) INFERNAL CLOWN! INFERNAL CLOWN! I AM THE ROOT — I AM THE CROWN! [VERSE 2 - Faster deathcore, female gutturals and pig squeals] He offers balloons, he offers lies, But Scarlett sees through his disguise, She drags him deep into the earth, She shows him what his fear is worth. His shape-shifting can't change the end, Scarlett's mycelium will bend, The clown is gone, the balloons pop, Scarlett's reign will never stop. [BRIDGE - Slow doom with strings, female spoken word with reverb] "Float with me, clown..." "I'll show you true fear..." [FINAL CHORUS - Maximum velocity, all vocals layered] INFERNAL CLOWN! INFERNAL CLOWN! HE FLOATS ABOVE — BUT I'M THE DROWN! INFERNAL CLOWN! INFERNAL CLOWN! I AM THE ROOT — I AM THE CROWN! [OUTRO - Fading carnival music, female whisper] "Dance with me... Pennywise..." "Because I'm the bigger nightmare..."
