[Intro: Haunting strings with whispers of wind] (Spoken softly) "Momma said love ain't easy... but she loves me, still." [Verse 1: Dark, brooding piano, low percussion] She met the wrong man under the pale moonlight, His touch like a curse, his heart full of spite. Now I’m the child of shadows and fear, Carrying his darkness year after year. [Pre-Chorus: Rising tension with distant wails] I try to fight it, this hunger inside, But the beast in my blood, it will not hide. [Chorus: Full band swells, powerful vocals] Before sunset, Momma chains me up, 'Cause she loves me, she knows me, she won’t ever let go of me. But she knows, when the sun sets, she better shut the door, And the manacles hold me, 'cause Momma’s love won’t be enough... [Verse 2: Ominous strings with pulsing drums] The nights grow longer, the urges grow deep, In the quiet of my mind, no peace I keep. I claw at the chains, I howl at the night, Momma prays to the heavens, but it won’t make it right. [Bridge: Minimal instrumentation, eerie tone] (Sung softly) I see her tears, but I feel the change, A monster inside I can’t rearrange. The love in her eyes is my only light, But it dims when I lose the fight. [Chorus: Full band returns, emotional crescendo] Before sunset, Momma chains me up, 'Cause she loves me, she knows me, she won’t ever let go of me. But she knows, when the sun sets, she better shut the door, And the manacles hold me, 'cause Momma’s love won’t be enough... [Breakdown: Sparse, heavy breathing layered with soft whispers] (Spoken softly) "Forgive me, Momma... I tried." (A distant howl echoes) [Final Chorus: Thunderous drums, anguished vocals] Before sunset, Momma chains me up, 'Cause she loves me, she knows me, she won’t ever let go of me. But I hope the manacles hold me strong, Because I know Momma’s love won’t be enough... [Outro: Fading strings, a soft sob echoes into silence]
