Velvet Blackout (ver 2) (The Nightshade Anthem)

[Intro] [The sound of high heels clicking on a hard floor] [A low, muffled bassline creeps in, sounding like it’s coming from another room] [Female voice whispers]: "Don't blink... you won't see me anyway." [Verse 1] White hair braided in a silver swoop Caught the whole class in a sensory loop Purple eyes watching through the haze I’m the ending of your light-filled days Leather boots clicking, 5’5” of grace Leaving just a shadow in my place Hands held out, watch the ink start to flow Where the Nightshade Veil begins to grow. [Pre-Chorus] [The music suddenly becomes muffled and underwater-like] Can’t hear your breath, can’t hear your heart I’m tearing your world completely apart Solidify the vapor, feel the whip crack Once you’re in the dark, there’s no turning back. [Chorus] UNDER THE VEIL, UNDER THE SMOKE A lethal secret in every stroke Muffle the sound, bury the sight I’m the daughter of the deepest night Velvet blackout, smooth and cold A story that can’t ever be told. [Bridge] [The music clears for a second as Female vocals sings in a soft, sensual Contralto] "Uncle Shouta... you look so tired. Why don't you rest in the shade?" [Female giggles] [heavy trip-hop beat returns] "Ren-kun... keep up." [Outro] [A slow, fading saxophone solo that sounds distant] Ride the smoke, glide on the ink Gone before you even have time to think Kayama legacy, black and white Sleep tight... in the Nightshade light. [Sound of a whip snapping and then total silence]
