[Symphonic build-up leading to thunderous guitars] A cursed fate, a shadowed mark, A race against the fading spark. The parasite twists, the clock runs down, The hero fights, but fears will drown. [Verse 1] In the mirror, I see my doom, A creeping change, a growing wound. Its whispers claw inside my head, A voice that feeds on fear and dread. [Pre-Chorus] [Quickening with double bass drumming] Will I fall to the monster’s call? Or break the chains, destroy it all? [Chorus] Tadpole’s curse, it burns my soul, Time is fleeting, it takes control! Through the dark, I’ll find my way, To break the curse before I decay! [Guitar Solo 1: Lightning-fast, filled with arpeggios and tapping] [Verse 2] The dreams it weaves, a gilded lie, A gift of power, but I deny. For every step, I feel it grow, A silent scream I cannot show. [Pre-Chorus] [Intensifying with soaring melody] Will I bow to the fate I dread? Or fight until the beast is dead? [Chorus] Tadpole’s curse, it burns my soul, Time is fleeting, it takes control! Through the dark, I’ll find my way, To break the curse before I decay! [Bridge] [Dramatic shift, slowing into an eerie melody] Oh gods, hear my desperate cry, Will I prevail, or must I die? The parasite’s hold, my strength it drains, But in my heart, defiance reigns! [Guitar Solo 2: Harmonized leads, emotional and building to a peak] [Chorus] Tadpole’s curse, it burns my soul, Time is fleeting, it takes control! Through the dark, I’ll find my way, To break the curse before I decay! [Outro] [Heavy riffs fading into a haunting acoustic outro] The clock ticks on, the shadows loom, A hero’s fight to escape the tomb. The tadpole waits, its hunger vast, But I’ll resist until my last. [End]
