V5.5

[Intro: Sparse Tribal Percussion, Distant Whispers, Violin Harmonics] [Whispered] Don't turn around... It knows your name. [Verse 1: Low Female Vocal, Ritualistic] There is a mark beneath the skin That wasn't there before A little mouth without a tongue Behind the hidden door The candles lean toward the dark The shadows face the flame Something moves where nothing is And breathes without a name [Tribal Build: Hand Drums Enter, Low Drone] [Pre-Chorus: Whispered Layers] I heard you call From underneath I heard the floor Begin to breathe [Chorus: Theatrical Black Metal, Choir] Open the door Leave it open Something waits Where words are broken Open the door Don't look inside Something learned How you hide [Post-Chorus: Ritual Chant] Enter... Enter... Enter... [Verse 2: Low Female Vocal, Increasing Intensity] The room was empty when I came The room was full when I left There were four shadows on the wall But I could only count three A handprint dried upon the glass From somewhere on the other side I wiped it clean It came again And this time it was mine [Violin Interlude: Mournful, Serpentine] [Whispered] Who told you There was nothing here? [Bridge: Tribal Trance, Spoken Ritual Vocal] Do not answer Do not speak Do not breathe When it breathes Do not open Do not see What remembers Being me [Build: Increasing Drums, Tremolo Guitar] [Pre-Chorus: Layered Vocals] I heard your voice Inside the walls I heard your footsteps Down the hall But every time I reached the sound There was nobody There was nobody There was nobody... [Chorus: Full Black Metal Explosion] Open the door Leave it open Something waits Where words are broken Open the door Don't look inside Something learned How you hide [Choir: Massive, Ritualistic] It knows It knows It knows It knows [Breakdown: Tribal Drums + Bass + Whisper] [Whispered] There is no door. [Silence] [Whispered, Very Close] There never was. [Final Build: Double Kick, Tremolo Guitars, Violin, Choir] [Final Chorus: Massive Theatrical Climax] Close the door If you dare Something followed Something's there Close the door Hold your breath Something waits Inside your chest [Black Metal Scream] DON'T LET IT IN! [Choir] It is already inside. [Outro: Percussion Slowly Disappears, Solo Violin] [Whispered] Now... listen. [Final Whisper] It's breathing.
