☢️My second major project, but already dedicated to the world of the game "Stalker". ☢️ This song is an experiment that tried to combine dark horror, the atmosphere of Stalker and the aesthetics of Soviet music of the 80s. I once came across a series of videos on YouTube about the game stalker, created with the help of neural networks, which showed stalker in the style of films of the 80-90s, which inspired me a lot when writing this song. -------------------------- "Monolith" Author of the text and music - Elizeus.

People with good intent, so naive, Raised a killer, it's hard to believe. [bridge] [whisper] (But I hear him, I'm drawn to his call!) (Lord, I can't stop, I'm bound to fall!) (I hear him, I'm drawn to his plea,) (Lord, why can’t I just be set free?) [Verse 2] [monotone up] It’s all madness, yet I hear his plea, He wants me to wish, to set him free. He says that my journey's come to an end, He’s calling me, and my crippled head! [Chorus] [monotone whisper] I hear him, he's calling me. I hear him, he wants to be free. I hear him, he's claiming my soul. I hear him, he’s taking control! [instrumental] [instrumental bridge] (I'm lost) (I'm lost) (I'm lost) (I'm lost) (I'm lost) [Verse 3] [whisper] He promises power, riches untold, He promises secrets, adventures bold. He swears he’ll vanish, slip into night, But can he deceive me, can he feign light? [bridge] (I hear him, I'm drawn to his plea,) (Lord, why can’t I just be set free?) (His voice echoes deep in my mind,) (He says that my fate has been defined!) [Verse 4] [whisper] I walk down his path, it clouds my brain, I see visions, creatures of pain. I see his servants, they come my way, With burning grey eyes, they lead me astray. [Chorus] [whisper] I hear him, he's calling me, I hear him, he wants to be free. I hear him, he's claiming my soul, I hear him, he’s taking control. [post-chorus] [whisper] Lord, please let me go! Lord, I don’t want this woe! Lord, I need no mystery! Lord, save me, set me free! [instrumental] [final] [whisper] [noise] I see blue screens before my sight, I feel no body, lost in the night. I can't recall who I am, where to steer, But now I have a goal, drawing me near. A single aim, bright and stark, To kill the Strelok, I must embark. (To kill the Strelok, To kill the Strelok) (To kill the Strelok, To kill the Strelok) [instrumental down] [interlude] (Monolith is light and knowledge) (Knowledge and light)
