The One I Once Was

[Intro – Choirs] Whispers in the dark… Chains beneath the flesh… The tyrant stirs within… [Verse 1 – Harsh Vocals] For days he ruled in silence, The Beast that gnawed my veins. An empire of affliction, A monarch forged in chains. [Choir Response] Bound in shadows… Clad in torment… [Pre-Chorus – Harsh Vocals] But the hour of reckoning calls, I descend unto the throne! [Chorus – Choirs + Harsh Vocals] Grumble Beast! Fall to ruin! I cast you into the endless void! Rivers awaken, chains unbroken, Your dominion — destroyed! [Verse 2 – Harsh Vocals] You coil in defiance, obscene and profane, A tyrant enthroned in my suffering domain. But thunder resounds in the depths of my core, Your kingdom is crumbling — it shall be no more! [Bridge – Choirs + Harsh Vocals Interplay] [Choir] The strain… the roar… the final cry… [Growl] Veins resound, war drums in the sky! [Choir] The waters swirl, a grave of despair… [Growl] Grumble Beast, banished there! [Final Chorus – Full Choir + Harsh Vocals] Grumble Beast! Fall to ruin! From this throne, I wear the crown! Porcelain grave, eternal silence, The Beast undone, forever bound! [Outro – Choirs] Silence falls… the battle won… The Grumble Beast is gone.
