Enshrined (Wittlock Ver.)

[Intro — distant rumble, faint metal scrape] …tracks still warm [Verse 1 — measured, hunting cadence] Something moved through the quiet like a riot not loud— but it felt it Heat in lines through the ground like a bad dream pressed down I’ve seen this— before jaw too wide for the door finds another way in... [Pre-Chorus — tightening, breath close] don’t rush don’t call let it show where it’s coiled [Chorus — first meaning: hunting it] Track it down track it down don’t let it turn around Cut the air hold the line keep your breath out of mine Track it down track it down before it finds its ground [Instrumental — sub surge, metallic ticks] —low— …drag [Verse 2 — sharper, closer, unstable rhythm] Marks too clean too aligned like it knew it couldn't hide Not a beast— not quite that moves too close to react You said “wait” I said “go” felt the room shift in our throats [Pre-Chorus 2 — fracture begins] don’t speak don’t name it— answers broken free from its frame! [Chorus — still hunting, but uneasy] Track it down track it down why’s it, why's it circling now Cut the air hold the line why’s it oh god... matching mind Track it down— track it— … uh... [Break — silence, breath, glitch stutter] …hh …no [Bridge — realization, stripped, direct] No tracks no trail just the heat once held No roar no cry just breth ... —my— ... my... fire... my dreams my hate my unspoken desire [Shift — tone flips, cadence tightens violently] Tongue lit mouth split every word complicit Hands black from burn every “hold” just another turn [Chant — low, layered, now identity] feed it / feed it we did this breathe it / breathe it its here, its hiss [Final Chorus — same hook, new meaning] Track it down track it down it was never out of bounds Cut the air hold the line it was always in my spine Track it down track it down tear it out— no let it be let... me... — scream my ... AAHHH!!! [CRESCENDO INSTRUMENTAL BREAK, CRASHING, COLLISSION, DESTRUCTION, SCREAMING] [Outro — quiet, controlled, terrifying calm] Not a hunt …a shape I kept like it belongs [soft pant] hh, hh until it ate!
