The Perverted Nursery III: The Final Descent

​[Intro: The sound of a gramophone needle scratching on a dead groove. A slow, grinding metallic sound, like a rusted gear turning, builds into a dissonant wall of noise.] ​[Verse 1: Georgie Porgie] [Tempo: Aggressive, jagged chugging] Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them sigh! When the boys came out to play, He dragged them into the dark to stay! [Screamed: CONSUME THE PUDDING!] ​[Verse 2: Ring Around the Rosie] [Instruments: A haunting, minor-key carousel melody played on a broken cello] Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of lies, We’re dancing in the ashes of the ones who closed their eyes! Ashes, ashes, we all fall down, Into the bed of the king and the clown! ​[Verse 3: The Muffin Man] [Instruments: Heavy, slow-motion sludge riff] Do you know the Muffin Man? He’s working the dough with a fevered hand! He’s baking the secrets, he’s molding the pain, Leaving you hungry in the pouring rain! [Whispered: Is he... tasty?] ​[Chorus: A fusion of the previous "Nursery" themes, now at maximum intensity] [Instruments: Chaotic, blast-beat drumming, wall-of-sound orchestration] The nursery is bleeding, the walls are all thin, The rhymes are the shackles for the deeper sin! The innocence burned, the history erased, Everything holy is now displaced! ​[Verse 4: Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater] [Tempo: Fast, punk-metal gallop] Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, Had a wife and couldn't keep her! He put her in a pumpkin shell, And there he kept her, living in hell! [Sound: The squelch of organic matter being compressed] ​[Verse 5: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star] [Instruments: Stripped back to haunting, atmospheric piano and low-frequency drone] Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder where you are? Up above the world so high, Burning the watchers until they die! ​[Verse 6: Rock-a-bye Baby] [Instruments: Sudden, explosive return to heavy, downtuned chugging] Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top, When the wind blows, the cradle will drop! When the bough breaks, the baby will fall, And we’ll feast on the remains of it all! [Vocals: Manic, laughing scream, fading into a guttural growl] ​[Outro: The music disintegrates into pure white noise and feedback. The faint, distorted sound of a music box plays the "Twinkle Twinkle" melody backwards.] (Female vocals, a final, cold whisper) Sleep... if you can. [Final Sound: A single, definitive click, like a nursery room light being switched off.]
