Sickness in the Bones (16-Bit Edition) [Intro] (Low-bitrate wind howl. A heavy, distorted FM-synth bass pulse kicks in: DUN-DUN, DUN-DUN) [Verse 1] Who's gonna save you when your father says He's had enough and he leaves you for dead (SFX: High-pitched digital chime - PING!) Ain't got no angel to protect you from the pain That's why you call out His name (SFX: Thunder crackle sample with heavy reverb) [Pre-Chorus] There's a sickness in our bones (SFX: Metallic 'Clang' sound effect) The secrets only those tainted by blood know [Chorus] Keep it comin' with your cold Cold (SFX: Bit-crushed ice shattering) Cold-hearted way of sayin' There's a sickness in our bones The secrets only those tainted by blood know (SFX: Fast 16-bit drum fill: Snare-Snare-Tom-Tom) [Verse 2] My mother always told me the same That I'm an animal (SFX: Lo-fi growl sound effect) That I was born in chains (SFX: Sound of metal rattling/clinking) She put a hex on me A curse upon my name That's why I call out His name [Bridge] (The tempo increases. A rapid arpeggio synth starts spinning in the background) I’ve been digging in the dirt for the family tree Just to find every branch has a noose for me (SFX: Rising 'Power-up' pitch slide) It’s a fever in the marrow, it’s a rattle in the chest The wicked never run and the weary never rest Break the skin, let the black ink flow Wash away the only life I’ll ever know (SFX: Explosion sample followed by a white-noise hiss) [Guitar Solo / Synth Break] (A "shredding" square-wave synth lead takes over, mimicking a distorted guitar) [Final Chorus] Keep it comin' with your cold Cold Cold-hearted way of sayin' There's a sickness in our bones The secrets only those tainted by blood know [Outro] Tainted by blood... (SFX: Echoing footsteps on stone) The sins of the father are the salt in the wound (Call out His name) The ghost of the mother is the ghost in the room (SFX: Low-pass filter sweeps, making the sound "muffled") It’s in the bones (SFX: Final deep "Game Over" bass note: BOMMM...) (Silence)
