NOSFERATU

[INTRO - Gothic church organ, distant thunder, slow orchestral swell, 12 seconds] [VERSE 1 - Mid-tempo deathcore, heavy chugs, orchestral keys, female ethereal clean] Castle walls of aged stone, midnight mist upon the throne, Your coffin whispers my true name, I was drawn by ancient flame. Count of shadows, king of night, You promised me eternal light, But your kiss is cold as grave, I am your bride — I am your slave. [CHORUS - Slamming brutal death, blast beats, female screams and gutturals] NOSFERATU! BLOOD AND DUST! (SCREAM) YOUR THIRST CONSUMES, YOUR FANGS I TRUST! (GUTTURAL) NOSFERATU! VEIL OF NIGHT! I RISE WITH YOU — I BECOME THE FRIGHT! [VERSE 2 - Faster tempo, grindcore riffs, female gutturals and pig squeals] I drank the crimson, tasted time, Your kingdom now forever mine. But shadows whisper in my ear, "You are not his — you are the fear." I turn to face my master's gaze, He trembles now — his fate a haze, The bride has become the beast, The count becomes the feast! [BRIDGE - Slow funeral doom, strings (Vivaldi "Winter"), female spoken word with reverb] I was the victim... now I am the crown... Nosferatu's kingdom... has fallen down... [FINAL CHORUS - Maximum velocity, all vocals layered] NOSFERATU! BLOOD AND DUST! YOUR THIRST CONSUMES, BUT NOW I RUST! NOSFERATU! VEIL OF NIGHT! I AM THE DARKNESS — I AM THE FRIGHT! [OUTRO - Fading organ, single bell toll, female whisper] "Sleep well, my count..." "Your bride is now the nightmare..."
