Zombie - The Pack (Cerberus)

V5.5

[Intro] (The sound of a cold wind whistling through pine trees. Dry leaves crunching. Then, a low, wet growl that sounds more like a rattle. The rapid, rhythmic 'tack-tack-tack' of claws running on a hard floor, getting faster and closer.) [Verse 1] (Vocals: A breathless, panicked female voice, whispering in short bursts) Don't look back, just keep your pace, something’s hungry for the chase. Yellow eyes and rotting hide, there is nowhere left to hide. I heard the glass begin to shatter, blood and shadow start to scatter. [Pre-Chorus] (The music starts to pulse with high-frequency electronic stabs, like a frantic heartbeat. Sound of snapping jaws) I hear the sniffing at the crack, the alpha leads the silent pack. Snarling teeth and missing skin, letting all the terror in. [Chorus] (Fast, aggressive industrial beat. Sharp, biting percussion like snapping metal) Cerberus is on the trail, behind the fur, a viral veil! Four-legged death, a sprinting hell, you can’t escape the graveyard smell. Out of the dark, out of the wood, they’re tasting every drop of good. Teeth of iron, hearts of rot, giving everything you’ve got! [Verse 2] (Music becomes more frantic, mimicking the speed of a chase) I leaped the fence, I locked the gate, but hunger is a heavy weight. They don’t bark, they only kill, obeying only Umbrella’s will. A shadow leaps, a throat is torn, in the city where the plague was born. [Bridge] (The music cuts to a terrifyingly close sound of heavy panting. It sounds wet and distorted. The sound of a dog's whine that turns into a demonic snarl) (Vocals: A terrified, high-pitched whisper) I can hear them... breathing through the door. They’re not dogs... not anymore. [Final Chorus] (Maximum speed and intensity. Layered sounds of snarling and barking mixed with heavy industrial distortion) Cerberus is on the trail, behind the fur, a viral veil! Four-legged death, a sprinting hell, you can’t escape the graveyard smell. One jump, one bite, one final scream, the end of every living dream! [Outro] (The sound of a window smashing. A sudden, chaotic scuffle, a female scream that is cut short by a guttural growling. The sound of a heavy body being dragged away over broken glass. Silence, then a distant, lonely howl.)
