[whispered, distorted vocals echoing : “Do you want to play a game?”]
[Intro – long crushing detuned bass riff,slow and ominous beat,Creepy piano plays evil carnival-like melody]
Low-end thunder rolls through the black
Echoes of chains and a distant crack
Whispers crawl from the void below
Can you hear him?……he comes slow
(Verse 1 – heavy palm-muted chugs mixed with Low distorted growls over rhythm. Sparse creepy piano chords.)
Born in the fire where the damned all rot
Wearing the skull of the last one he caught
Eyes like pits, burning cold and white
Breath like graves, stench of the dead
He walks through the shadows, silent and tall
Fingers like talons ready to maul
No soul can hide, no prayer can save
He is coming to drag you to the grave
[Pre Chorus – bass dominates guitars scrape and howl. Piano plays slow minor descending notes]
Feel him near… taste the fear…
The mask is grinning… death is here…
[Chorus – massive drums, full screaming distorted vocals. Gang shouts processed through effects]
SHONGO!!..
Skull mask gleaming in the moon’s dead light
SHONGO!!…
He feeds on terror in the heart of night
Bow to the demon, kneel to the dread
Wearers of flesh all end up dead
SHONGO!!..
The reaper in bone, forever unseen
SHONGO!!..
Your nightmare king, your final scream
I want to play a game…
[Verse 2 – faster sludgy groove with dissonant bends layers. Piano drips eerie notes]
He carves his name in the skin of the lost
Whispers your sins at unbearable cost
No light escapes where his shadow falls
The skull mask laughs as eternity calls
Children vanish, lovers disappear
All that remains is the echo of fear
He doesn’t kill quick—he savors the slow
He collects what the living let go
[Pre Chorus– deeper bass growls, guitars screech with feedback.Violin cries longer notes.]
Closer… closer… feel him breathe…
There’s no escape… no reprieve…
[Chorus – heavier slam, gang vocals louder]
SHONGO!!…
Skull mask gleaming in the moon’s dead light
SHONGO!!…
He feeds on terror in the heart of night
Bow to the demon, kneel to the dread
Wearers of flesh all end up dead
SHONGO!!…
The reaper in bone, forever unseen
SHONGO!!…
Your nightmare king, your final scream
I want to play a game…
[Bridge – tempo slows to crawl. Bass pulses. Solo piano plays lonely twisted melody]
In the silence between your final breath
You’ll see the mask… and welcome death
He doesn’t speak… he doesn’t need to
The skull says everything… straight to you
[Guitar Solo haunting gothic, Slow tortured bends. Eerie harmonics.]
(Final Chorus – slowest heaviest crush.Full distorted scream)
SHONGO!!…
The mask is calling… can you hear?
SHONGO!!…
Your time is ending… death is near
Fall to your knees, kiss the bone
Shongo has come to take you home
SHONGO!!…
Eternal servant, forever his slave
SHONGO!!…
Buried alive in his endless grave
I want to play a game…
(Outro – fading noise, bass throb, faint creepy piano. Violin one last wavering wail.)
Shongo…
Shongo…
Can we play a game?…
