V4.5

[Overture – [Ambient drones], [Eerie bells], [Low cello], [Whispered choral pads], [Thunder FX rising]]

[Verse 1 – [Theatrical falsetto], [Expressive phrasing], [Stage-like delivery]]  
Once I wore the silver crown,  
Spoke in symmetry and rule.  
Now I dance through gardens upside down,  
In motley robes, the holy fool.  
I buried time beneath my feet,  
I taught the stars to scream,  
My throne was shaped from shattered thoughts,  
And stitched into a dream.

[Pre-Chorus – [Choir harmonies swell], [Tension builds]]  
When Order falls, the laughter calls,  
The Isles divide in two.  
Mania sings, Dementia weeps,  
But both belong to you.

[Chorus – [Powerful falsetto lead], [Full orchestral swell], [Background screams layered]]  
I am the storm that writes in screams!  
The lord of cheese and dying dreams!  
Let reason rot, let chaos bloom,  
Bow before your mind’s undoing!  
I am the god your nightmares pen,  
I end, begin, then end again!  
A requiem in bleeding skin,  
I crown the mad. Let’s all begin!

[Verse 2 – [Melodic falsetto shifting into low vibrato], [Minor chord progression]]  
They came to end the madness reign,  
The Greymarch rising black and still.  
But every age, I play again,  
A jester forged from Jyggalag’s will.  
I wear myself like tattered skin,  
A mask upon a face,  
And in this role, I win again,  
Through paradox and grace.

[Rap Breakdown – [Distorted nu-metal guitars], [Screamo rap delivery], [Heavy percussion FX]]  
YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE SCRIPT?! (hah)  
THEY WROTE IT ON A NAPKIN!  
I ATE IT WITH A FORK OF DOOM,  
AND FED THE SCRAPS TO MADMEN!  
I AM THE END OF REASON,  
THE CURSE THAT SINGS,  
I TURNED A PRINCE TO PUPPET STRINGS!  
EVERY LINE, EVERY VERSE, A MOCKERY!  
EVERY THRONE YOU BUILD?  
PROPERTY OF ME!

[Instrumental Solo – [Guitar solo layered with orchestral strings], [Taiko-style tribal drums], [Choir chanting “Sheogorath”]]

[Bridge – [Dual vocal overlay: baritone clean (Jyggalag) vs distorted screamo (Sheogorath)]]  
[Jyggalag – Clean, mournful]  
I was the truth that never bent…  
[Sheogorath – Screamed, stereo split]  
YOU WERE THE BOREDOM! I AM THE EVENT!  
[Jyggalag]  
I built the stars to hold the line…  
[Sheogorath]  
I PAINTED RIDDLES OVER TIME!

[Final Chorus – [Soaring falsetto], [Layered harmonies], [Violent scream interjections]]  
I am the storm that writes in screams!  
The lord of cheese and dying dreams!  
Let reason rot, let chaos bloom,  
Bow before your mind’s undoing!  
I am the god your nightmares pen,  
I end, begin, then end again!  
A requiem in bleeding skin,  
I crown the mad… AND SO WE BEGIN!

[Outro – [Whispered spoken line], [Ambient drone fades to silence]]  
Come back anytime.  
Bring your mind if you still have it.  
Heh… I never did.

[Intro – Spoken, ceremonial tone over ambient strings and whispered choir FX] I was once a god of Order. Cold, sharp, silent. But Order… Order breaks. So I broke first. And in that crack? Laughter. [Mad laughter] mohahahaha ha HaHa HaHaaaaaa!!!
