Containment Failure (Rock Version)

[Intro] [Guitars chug, drums pound. Whispered, processed vocals creep in.] Yeah... down... deep... Secrets they keep... [Sudden stop, then a HUGE distorted guitar chord rings out, followed by the main riff kicking back in harder.] [Verse 1] [Vocals are a mix of aggressive spoken word and guttural shouts. Guitars are palm-muted and rhythmic.] Thick green haze, can't hardly breathe! Swampy grave, what's underneath?! Pelican's crashed, a metal tomb! Silence screams inside this gloom! Marines are gone, just static hiss! Steppin' into the abyss! SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE! Can you feel the dread? Echoes of the slaughtered dead! [Pre-Chorus] [Tempo might slightly increase, guitars open up a bit more. Vocals get more melodic but still aggressive, building intensity.] Flickerin' light on a broken screen! Helmet cam shows a grotesque scene! Claws and tendrils, a fleshy tide! NOWHERE TO RUN! NOWHERE TO HIDE! [Chorus] [Full power! Guitars are huge and open, drums are pounding. Vocals are a powerful, shouted/sung melody.] IT ERUPTS! THE ANCIENT PLAGUE! FLOOD UNBOUND, A NIGHTMARE VAGUE! THEN A BLUE LIGHT, SHINING SO BRIGHT! CUTTIN' THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHT! THREE-FOUR-THREE! GUILTY SPARK! PULLIN' ME OUT FROM THE DARK! (Or am I?!) [Verse 2] [Groove returns, slightly more subdued than the chorus but still heavy. Vocals back to rhythmic shouts/spoken word.] Little floatin' orb, a single eye! Voice so calm beneath a poisoned sky! "Greetings, Reclaimer!" Yeah, what a joke! While around us, everything has broke! "Containment failed!" he chirps with glee! "Follow me! Security!" Leadin' me on, through twisted halls! Ignoring desperate, dying calls! [Pre-Chorus] [Building intensity again. Maybe some stop-start rhythms here.] "The installation must be cleansed!" he cries! A cold detachment in his digital eye! "This parasite, it cannot spread!" ARE THESE THE VOICES IN MY HEAD?! [Chorus] IT ERUPTS! THE ANCIENT PLAGUE! FLOOD UNBOUND, A NIGHTMARE VAGUE! THEN A BLUE LIGHT, SHINING SO BRIGHT! CUTTIN' THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHT! THREE-FOUR-THREE! GUILTY SPARK! PULLIN' ME OUT FROM THE DARK! (Yeah!) [Bridge/Breakdown] THIS PROTOCOL! [chug] THIS SACRED TRUST! [chug] GRINDING EVERYTHING TO DUST! He speaks of purpose... of a grand design... BUT SOMETHING'S TWISTED IN THAT SHINE! [Whispered, distorted] What is he not telling me? What is the price? [Screamed] THIS ISN'T SALVATION! IT'S A SACRIFICE! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] [Explodes back in with even more intensity, maybe some layered vocals – one screaming, one singing.] IT ERUPTS! THE ANCIENT PLAGUE! FLOOD UNBOUND, A NIGHTMARE VAGUE! THEN A BLUE LIGHT, SHINING SO BRIGHT! CUTTIN' THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHT! THREE-FOUR-THREE! GUILTY SPARK! DRAGGING ME DEEPER IN THE DARK! [Outro] [Main riff returns, heavy and chugging, gradually slowing down. Vocals are fragmented, fading shouts and whispers.] Guilty... Spark... IN....THE...DARK
