Fear My Footsteps

(INTRO) (Electronic pulse. A single footstep echoes.) SCANNING… (Footstep.) MOVEMENT DETECTED… (Another footstep.) NO THREAT… (Another footstep. Louder.) …Recalculating… (Alarm begins.) WARNING… SUBJECT… …HAS NOT STOPPED MOVING. (Beat drops.) ⸻ (VERSE I) One more sunrise… One more mile… One more burden… One more trial… You thought I’d break… You thought I’d fall… I’m still standing… After it all. Gravemaw’s pulling… I keep climbing. The fire’s fading… I keep fighting. ⸻ (PRE-CHORUS) Every step… Breaks another chain. Every breath… Drives me through the pain. ⸻ (CHORUS) FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! I’M STILL COMING! FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! I’M STILL RUNNING! ONE MORE REP! ONE MORE DAY! I’M STILL WALKING… YOUR WAY! ⸻ (VERSE II) Hollowveil— I hear your lies. Chainfather— Your grip unties. Ashmourne— You steal no flame. Bloodclock— Today remains. Iron Eater— Starve instead. Hope still lives… It isn’t dead. ⸻ (PRE-CHORUS II) Every setback… Built my stride. Every scar… Walks beside me. ⸻ (CHORUS) FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! HEAR THEM RISING! FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! NO SURPRISING! I’M STILL HERE! I’M STILL TRUE! EVERY STEP… LEADS TO YOU! ⸻ (BRIDGE) (Everything drops to a heartbeat and footsteps.) One step… Another… Another… Another… [AI Voice:] “Prime Adversaries…” ”…Retreating.” A whisper from the darkness… ”…Why?” (Silence.) [The answer comes:] “Because…” ”…He always takes… …One more step.” ⸻ (FINAL DROP) COME ON! NOT TODAY! COME ON! MAKE MY DAY! I DON’T QUIT! I DON’T BREAK! EVERY STEP! EARTHQUAKE! ⸻ (FINAL CHORUS) FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! THEY’RE GETTING CLOSER! FEAR MY FOOTSTEPS! YOUR REIGN IS OVER! ONE MORE REP! ONE MORE FIGHT! THE FORGE BURNS… THROUGH THE NIGHT! ⸻ (OUTRO) (The music fades, leaving only footsteps.) Step. Step. Step. Step. A distant whisper… Not afraid anymore… ”…He’s still coming.”
