The Girl in the Cellar (ver 2)

[Intro - Cold Subterranean Wind, Soft Clinking of Chains & Eerie Fading Piano Notes] [Soft, breathy, trembling whisper] ...They locked the door and threw away the key. Hoping the darkness would swallow me. [Verse 1] Stone walls, freezing air, a tattered dress on the floor, Waiting for a voice that would never speak anymore. Classified, contained, a ghost before my time, Punished for a body and a soul they called a crime. The Choker of Solitude locked tight around my throat, Keeping me anchored to the misery they wrote. They thought if they ignored me, I would fade into the gray, Just a forgotten secret they could tuck and hide away. [Pre-Chorus - A Melancholic Cello Rises, Building Tension] [Haunting, echoing vocals] Will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the freezing chill, Waiting for the moment that the shadows start to kill. The chains begin to rattle, the concrete starts to crack— You built a permanent cage... and there's no turning back. [Chorus - Heavy Gothic Rock Drop & Sweeping Orchestral Strings] [Powerful, piercing, ghost-like vocals] PHANTOM MEI! Rising from the deep! Keeping every warden from a peaceful night of sleep! Dissolving into shadow-smoke, a specter in the hall, Watching all the pillars of your jurisdiction fall! You wanted a ghost to haunt the dark alone? Now I'm coming for the architects who built my stone! Phasing through your barriers, a chilling, silent breath— I am the memory you put to death! [Verse 2] The alarms started blaring, the sector finally broke, I stepped into the light wrapped in a shroud of smoke. No tears left to cry, just a cold and steady stare, Leaving all my jailers freezing in the sudden snare. The garter-chain anchor holds the physical form, Just a vessel of vengeance riding out the storm. Let them look, let the heroes try to fight— They can't stop a spirit walking through the night. [Bridge - Stripped Back, Only a Lonely Music Box and Low Bass Pulse] [Low, shivering, intensely quiet cadence] You thought silence meant I was broken... You thought absence meant I was gone... [A sudden sharp snap of a shadow-whip] ...The haunting has only just begun. [Final Chorus - Maximum Intensity, Blasting Drums & Epic Choir] PHANTOM MEI! Rising from the deep! Keeping every warden from a peaceful night of sleep! Dissolving into shadow-smoke, a specter in the hall, Watching all the pillars of your jurisdiction fall! You wanted a ghost to haunt the dark alone? Now I'm coming for the architects who built my stone! Phasing through your barriers, a chilling, silent breath— I am the memory you put to death! [Outro - Slow Fading Orchestral Strings & Soft Humming Will-o'-the-Wisp Sound] [Soft, echoing whisper] Rest in peace... [Final gentle chime and absolute silence]
