[INTRO] (Guitars chug in with sliding dissonant harmonics, drums enter with double-kick bursts) [VERSE 1 – screamed] Footsteps pounding through the static night A tremor rising underneath the fight Shadows coil, bending into shape No escape, but I will not break [PRE-CHORUS – shouted build] I feel the pressure pulling close A heartbeat turning into blows [CHORUS – clean + shouted] Shadow pulse, I come alive Burning bright where darkness thrives Shadow pulse, I won’t give in Hear the roar beneath my skin [VERSE 2 – screamed] Lines are cracking in the shifting ground Every echo is a warning sound Still the force keeps dragging me ahead Not with dread — with fire instead [BRIDGE – growled] Rise through the noise Crush through the void Nothing can sever The will that holds together [BREAKDOWN – guttural, half-time] Breathe it in— THE SHADOW PULSE (Bent-string chugs hit with massive space) [FINAL CHORUS – layered clean + growl] Shadow pulse, I come alive Burning bright where darkness thrives Shadow pulse, I won’t give in Hear the roar beneath my skin [OUTRO] (Guitar feedback swells, drums fade, low-end hum dissolves) [end]
