[Intro] [Verse 1] [Gothic, spoken-word tone rising into intense vocals; driving rhythm steps up] Across the dark expanse of the Nightmarish Plane, A twisted queen holds court over terror and pain. With skin like pale bone and a shadow-draped gown, Terris-Thule wears the crown where all mortals drown. [Pre-Chorus] She feasts on the dread of the sleeping and weak, Where shadows grow long and the lost spirits shriek. [Chorus] In dreams she arises, a specter of doom, To drag weary souls to a forgotten tomb! [Verse 2] [Low ambient breakdown, eerie textures with heavy cello motifs] Her lair is a labyrinth of marble and bone, Where screams echo endlessly round her dark throne. No sanctuary waits in her haunted domain, Only endless despair and exquisite stain. [Chorus] [ soaring choir background vocals] In dreams she arises, a specter of doom, To drag weary souls to a forgotten tomb! [Bridge] [ heavy minor brass and striking orchestral hits] Her gargoyles watch silent from pillars on high, While wretched constructs beneath her feet lie. She weaves every nightmare, she controls every fear, And whispers cold torment to all who draw near. [Guitar / Orchestral Solo] [Dark violin and cello solo fading into distorted guitar undertones] [Verse 3] [Driving rhythm returns at maximum intensity] Adventurers march through her mist-covered portal, Forgetful that fear reigns eternal and mortal. With a flick of her hand and a chill in the air, She shatters their courage and feeds on despair. [Outro] [Music drops out to solo eerie ambient texture, single fading low minor key motif] So close your eyes softly, but pray for the day, Lest the Goddess of Nightmares should steal you away. [Hushed whisper] For once in her web, where the shadows belong... Your weeping becomes her eternal dark song. [Fade to Silence]
