Driven

[Intro – rhythmic heartbeat or distant thudding] It was quiet... And then the walls shook. [Verse 1] The air was still—then came the roar, Like thunder slamming through the floor. A crimson rage behind the eyes, A storm that waits, then multiplies. [Verse 2] You think you're brave? You came too near, Oni feeds on scent of fear. A shattered plate, a guttural sound, Something heavy shook the ground. [Chorus – powerful, driving] Oni—rage made form and breath, A curse that dances close to death. It doesn’t haunt—it hunts instead, Don’t lose your nerve, or you'll be dead. [Verse 3 – eerie quiet with rising tension] The whispers stopped… too calm, too cold, And then the door burst off the hold. No ritual can quell its spite, The Oni lives to make things right. [Verse 4 – violent rhythm returns] Right to the chest—a breathless weight, It strikes not out of fear, but fate. A laugh like glass beneath the skin, You won’t outrun the wrath within. [Bridge – instrumental break with heavy pulse, broken whispers] Run. It’s close. Too late. [Final Chorus – faster, more intense] Oni—driven by the pain, It rises, strikes, and falls again. No warning, no second breath, It is the gate between life and death. [Outro – fade with slow knocking or door creaks] You came to see what truth would show… Now you know… and still it grows.
