The Shadow of Chronos

[Intro] (Low, rumbling bass synth fading in) (Distant church bells ringing slowly) (Whispering voices pan left to right) He wakes... The cycle begins... [Verse 1] Frozen soil, ancient dread Rise up from the earthen bed The calendar is bleeding red You’re living moments that are dead No spring arrives, no warmth remains Bound inside these temporal chains He crawls out from the obsidian deep To steal the promises you keep [Pre-Chorus] (Orchestral stabs increase in speed) (Rising tension) If the light hits the ground The loop comes back around There is no escape found (Silence for 1 second) DON'T LOOK AT THE SHADOW! [Drop] (Heavy Dubstep/Industrial Bass Screech) (Aggressive metallic drums) SIX. MORE. WEEKS. (Glitch noise) ETERNAL WINTER. (Bass wobble) RESET. [Verse 2] (Beat continues, driving and dark) Yesterday is now today The future rots and falls away The rodent god demands his pay In hours that you start to fray The burrow goes down into hell You’re trapped inside his gravity well Tick-tock, the clock is just a lie Under the cold and graying sky [Bridge] (Music slows down into a halftime march) (Gothic Choir chanting loud and operatic) Umbra... Aeternus... Tempus... Infinitus... He sees the dark. He turns his back. The timeline snaps. Fade to black. [Build Up] (Snare roll accelerating) (Sirens wailing) He is the Gatekeeper! He is the End! Here it comes again! AGAIN! AGAIN! [Final Drop] (Maximalist noise, chaotic and loud) THE SHADOW CASTS JUDGMENT! (Heavy distortion) NO SPRING. ONLY ICE. [Outro] (Music cuts abruptly to a ticking clock) (One final deep voice) ...See you yesterday.
