DrPepperWolf-"The Tower" v3

[Intro: Haunting slide guitar. deep 808s rumbling in the background] [Verse 1: Gritty. half-sung. half-spoken delivery. bluesy & storytelling] One cursed man, a gun in his hand Walks through the desert, dust in his veins But he ain't the one No, he ain't the one For whom the black bell rings [Chorus: Melodic & soulful. distorted guitars kick in. heavy drums & deep bass. call & response] When the blood moon starts to rise (to rise) And he hears the Crimson cries (Crimson cries) His journey will end He will forget his sins And then, he will start again [Verse 2: Back to raw. acoustic guitar & sparse beat. deep bluesy flow] They rode with him, through the fire and dust Dreaming of towers, drowning in rust One by one, they fell like ghosts On this road to hell (To hell) [Pre-Chorus: Low. whispered call & response harmonies. slow build-up] And as the tower drew near Their fate became clear But he ain't the one No, he ain't the one (He ain't the one) [Chorus: Melodic & powerful. full band. distorted blues guitar wailing] When the blood moon starts to rise (to rise) And he hears the Crimson cries (Crimson cries) His journey will end He will forget his sins And then, he will start again (OH, HE SHOULD START AGAIN) [Bridge: Dark & eerie. slow build. distant backing vocals humming] The road stretched long, the night was wide The weight of time burned in his eyes He heard a voice, sharp as steel It whispered low, it struck a deal [Verse 3: Return to stripped-down acoustic. bluesy and weary] When all was said and done He met a young man in the desert He handed him the gun And then he told him... [Chorus: Final chorus. intense & layered. choir-like harmonies. distorted slide guitar crying] When the blood moon starts to rise (to rise) And you hear the Crimson cries (Crimson cries) Your journey will end You will forget your sins And then, you will start again [Outro: Fading echoes. reverb-heavy. distant drums like a heartbeat] But you ain't the one (not the one) You ain't the one (not the one) But you ain't the one (not the one) You ain't the one (not the one) For whom the black bell rings (RINGS)
