[Intro, Atmospheric Doom / Progressive Post-Metal]
[Deep fog pads, tremolo/Ebow guitars, distant tribal toms, sub-bass oscillations]
[Introduce 3–4 note leitmotif; no Thall yet]
[Ambient hum]

[Heavy Doom Riff, Progressive Death-Doom Metal]
[Wide HM-2 guitars; ritualistic drum pulse; sub-boosted bass]
[Off-beat cymbal accents foreshadow Thall]

[Verse 1, Melodic Death-Doom Metal]
[Clean dark arpeggio; sparse bass; ghost kick thumps, clean female vocals]
Every child is told
Don't venture near the woods
Or the changelings will get you

[Verse 2, Melodic Death-Doom Metal]
[Chord add9/suspended; textures as Verse 1, clean female vocals]
They watch from shadow
Waiting for you to get too close
Believe it, as what I say is true
(Shh… do not enter)[growls]

[Pre-Chorus 1, Progressive Post-Metal]
[Reverb chord swells; bass octaves; double-hit snare; quiet harmony, death growl male vocals]
(Beware the setting of the sun)
(Be inside when the day is done)
(Inside, inside)

[Verse 3, Atmospheric Doom + Progressive Death-Doom]
[Second guitar counter-melody; light trem-picking; bass syncopation; dotted kick, clean female vocals]
The sun slips behind trees
Dancing shadows reaching out
Cast by branches in fading light
[Soft strings]

[Verse 4, Atmospheric Doom + Progressive Death-Doom]
[clean female vocals]
Chores are quickly finished
The day's end draws ever nearer
Welcoming in the coming night
[Pipe organ drone]

[Pre-Chorus 2, Progressive Post-Metal + Thall]
[Low-end chugs; syncopated floor-toms; mini-polymeter, male growls vocals]
Beware the setting of the sun
Be inside when the day is done
(Darkness moves)

[Chorus 1, Progressive Death-Doom / Post-Metal]
[Guitars wide; bass root; half-time drums; stereo pads]
[Vocals: dark, breathy female-style]
When the bell tolls
Make haste to your homes
Don't get caught out alone
You can't see them in the dark
{You can hear them in the dark}
Calling for you
Calling for you
(Calling… calling)

[Gothic Solo → Verses 5–6, Death-Doom shading]
[Harmonic minor solo; palm-muted guitar; tom rolls; bass fifth climbs, clean female vocals]
The village elder stands watch
Surveying the forest
With the tolling of the bell
He signals the village
(Darkness near)

[Pre-Chorus 3, Progressive Post-Metal Expansion]
[Strings pad; upper harmony; low drum resonance; reverse tails]
[Shift melody up one scale]
[Male death growls vocal]
(Beware the setting of the sun)
(Be inside when the day is done)
(Ahh…)

[Chorus 2, Heavier Progressive Death-Doom + Thall]
[Octave guitars; melodic bass; syncopated drums; Thall undercurrent]
[Vocals: clean + low guttural Nordic growls]
When the bell tolls
Make haste to your homes
Don't get caught out alone
You can't see them in the dark
You can hear them in the dark
Calling for you
(Calling for you)
[Ghost backing]

[Verse 7 & Bridge, Post-Metal × Doom + Thall]
[Trem-picking; bass slides; tribal toms; Thall chugs]
[Vocals: clean + low guttural Nordic growls]
Locked away
In brightly lit homes
To keep evil at bay
(Hear them outside your door)[growls]
Calling for you
(Footsteps… outside) [whisper]

[Verse 8 & Bridge 2, Increasing Dread]
[Low heartbeat synth; counter-guitar; rolling toms; occasional Thall-hit]
Only light
Keeps you safe from harm
Keeps the changelings away
(Hear them outside your door)[growls]
Calling for you
[Strained backing]

[Chorus 3, Climactic Progressive Doom]
[Triple guitars: open+trem+lead; bass leaps; half-shuffle drums; pads+choir; Thall undercurrent, clean female vocals]
When the bell tolls
Make haste to your homes
Don't get caught out alone
You can't see them in the dark
You can hear them in the dark
Calling for you
Calling for you
(Call… call… call) [Dramatic echo]

[Chorus 4, Morning Light Variation, Progressive Doom / Post-Metal]
[Thall drops; soft choir pad; ascending melodic lines; final modulation up step, clean female vocals]
When the bell tolls
Make haste to your homes
Don't get caught out alone
You hear them in the morning light
You see them in the morning light
Scurrying away
Scurrying away
 (Morning… light)[soft echo]

[Ending, Atmospheric Return / Progressive Death-Doom Metal]
