DANSE NOCTURNE [punk twist]
[Intro] [Instrumental: drums and bass for 5 sec, then distorted guitar joins for 6 sec, then atmospheric synths layer in; total 25 sec before vocals] [Verse 1] [Low, broken female vocals] Nocturnal creatures from below Crawled into my life, into my home Defiled my world, drank my fear Things with claws and soiled breath Feasted on suffering, loved every tear Night was your veil, dawn was your shield You'd leave at sunrise, a bloody field Gorged and laughing, back to your den Leaving the void where nothing begins [Pre-Chorus] [female vocals, Building intensity, voice rises] They drag me to their twisted ring Nocturnal make my broken body sing [Chorus 1] [Male vocals, disgusting, triumphant] DANCE! DANCE! CRIPPLED INNOCENCE! DANCE! DANCE! NYX IS LAUGHING AT YOUR EXPENSE! DANCE! DANCE! BROKEN AND LAME! DANCE! DANCE! NOCTURNE SCREAMS YOUR NAME! [Invocation] [female vocals, Building intensity, voice rises] I called the Wraith with my broken dance He comes with fury, he comes with axe [Verse 2] [female vocals, Quieter but with growing anger, voice cracks on emotional peaks] My Grim Rider comes — no name, no face Just iron will and bloody grace His engine roars, a predator's cry He'll finish my dance, he'll make them die I feel his rage, it burns the air He'll hunt them down, he'll tear and tear Nocturnal beasts, your time has come The macabre dance has just begun [Pre-Chorus] [female vocals, Intensity peaks] Ere the dawn, he'll make them die Ere the dawn — I'll hear their cry [Chorus 2] [Female vocals, full power, with scream in background] DANCE! DANCE! SLAY THEM, KILL! DANCE! DANCE! DRINK YOUR FILL! DANCE! DANCE! TEAR THEIR SOULS! DANCE! DANCE! MAKE THEM HOLLOW! DANCE! DANCE! NOCTURNES BLEED! DANCE! DANCE! DEVOUR THEIR BREED! DANCE! DANCE! MOW THEM DOWN! DANCE! DANCE! DANCE! - DANCE! [Bridge] [Instrumental chaos, distant screams; female voice faintly over it, then building] He rides... he kills... he rides... [Deep, sustained doom-metal growl] (Uuuuuhhh...) [Guitar swell, back to chaos] [Final Chorus] [female vocals, Screaming whisper, fading, almost inaudible at the end] DANCE... DANCE... SNOW IS FALLING DANCE... DANCE... NIGHT IS CALLING DANCE... DANCE... NO ONE'S LEFT DANCE... DANCE... I'M BEREFT [female vocals, Screaming whisper, fading to silence] Nocturnal claws... gone... My Grim Rider... gone... Just red on the snow... and me... [Outro] [Main instrumental motif continues alone, not fading, plays for 10-15 seconds then gradually fades to silence]
