Ghost of the Midnight Train

[MOVEMENT I - THE SCORCHED SUN] [cinematic wide reverb, solitary twangy baritone guitar, slow pace] [haunting solitary whistling melody fades in and out] [deep, gravelly baritone lead vocal, sung slowly with narrative weight] The iron rail is melting into the sand of a broken century. A shadow walks across the dead horizon line. No water left to wash the heavy consequence away. Only the rust. Only the wind carrying the names of the guilty. [MOVEMENT II - THE STANDOFF] [all guitars and melodic instruments vanish instantly] [percussion is created purely by a choir sharply inhaling and exhaling in a rigid rhythm] [Inhale-Exhale... Inhale-Exhale...] [lead vocal rises in pitch, tense, staccato singing] Ten steps between the devil and the metal! Nine seconds till the dust begins to settle! Looking at the finger resting on the trigger! Waiting for the silhouette to grow a little bigger! [sudden absolute silence] [sharp sound of a gun hammer clicking] [MOVEMENT III - THE BULLET] [massive industrial techno explosion, 130 BPM heavy distorted 4/4 kick drum] [twangy western guitar returns but played frantically over the techno beat] [CONTINUOUS VOCAL DRONE] (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Oooooooooooooooh...) [the choir sustains this epic operatic wail continuously, without breaking, while the lead sings over it] [lead tenor vocal, soaring, maximum power, operatic] PIERCING THE CENTER OF THE SUN! THE DAMAGE CAN NEVER BE UNDONE! SILVER AND LEAD IN A DIGITAL VEIN! WE ARE RIDING THE GHOST OF THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN! LEAVING THE ASH IN THE ATMOSPHERE! THERE IS NO LAW AND NO MERCY HERE! [THE AFTERMATH - OUTRO] [the heavy techno beat stops abruptly on the 4th count] [choir cuts off instantly] [only the haunting solitary whistling from the beginning returns, fading into the dry wind] [fade out to silence]
