[Verse 1 – The Lull]
I drink the stillness, let it flood my veins,
the last ember of day painting the canopy in blood‑white ash.
For a heartbeat I am nothing but a stone‑cold echo of wind,
a phantom watching the world bleed into night.

[Transition – The Tremor]
Then a shiver rips the marrow, a low‑growl from the depth of the forest,
a darkness coalescing, a silhouette forged in dying light.
My senses flare—every nerve a live wire, every breath a blade.
The primal thirst, buried beneath centuries of ice, erupts like a storm‑driven river.

[Verse 2 – The Emergence]
From the inky throat of timber I rise,
the Prince of Night, draped in midnight’s silk, crown of obsidian thorns.
A cruel smile curls my lips—memory of the name that drips from every legend:
Dracula, scourge of mortals, ruler of the abyss.
The wanderer—naïve, humming a careless tune—treads the path I have claimed.
He does not see the crimson glint beneath my throat,
does not hear the pulse of eons beating beneath my ribs.

[Pre‑Chorus – The Hunger]
Blood, chilled for ages, thrums like a war‑drum in my chest,
each heartbeat a summons, each pulse a promise of death.
The night is a veil, the forest a coffin,
and his life a candle I intend to snuff.

[Chorus – The Hunt]
I glide, a phantom of ash and bone,
unfurling wings of darkness across the moonless sky.
His whistling fades into a scream swallowed by the woods,
and the forest drinks the terror he leaves behind.

[Bridge – The Strike]
I descend—talons of shadow, fangs of obsidian—
the world contracts to the space between his pulse and mine.
His blood, warm and bright, sears the chill of my ancient heart,
a torrent of crimson fire that no night can douse.

[Outro – Echoes]
The twilight bleeds out, the last ember dies,
the forest exhales, the wind carries a new scent—iron and ash.
I retreat to my perch, a throne of roots, the night his new cradle,
and the stars watch silently as I crown the darkness once more.
Silence returns, but the hunt never ends.

Twilight of the Crimson Crown [Intro – Whispered wind] The crimson orb sinks behind jagged teeth of stone, spilling bruised violet and fire‑kissed orange across the heavens. A pine‑scented breath, damp earth’s cold finger, slides over my cheek— the world holds its sigh, shadows stretch like skeletal hands over the ancient woods.
