[Intro – Spoken / Whispered over ambient drones]
In igne solus…
In darkness I burn,
But from the ashes… I learn.
(Low tremolo picked lead builds tension — drums enter with slow tom hits)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Heavy rhythm / triplet chugs]
(Triplet chug: 0–0–0, palm-muted, half-open on beat 3)
Inside the fire, my demons sing,
I wear the scars their voices bring.
Shadows whisper through my bones,
Their words ignite what’s left unknown.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Building intensity]
Each breath a flame,
Each thought a chain,
The mirror screams —
I feel no pain.
⸻
[Chorus – Full distortion, triplet chug groove]
(Triplet rhythm example: | 0-0-0 | 3-3-3 | 5-5-5 | 6-6-6 |)
🔥 I’m burning inside,
And I’m all alone!
The pain won’t die,
It’s carved in stone!
No light, no faith,
Just ashes I own —
I’m burning inside,
In igne solus.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Double kicks + gallop riff]
Caged in silence,
Fear’s my art,
A pyre built
From a broken heart.
Hope is distant,
Cold and gone —
Still I scream
To carry on!
⸻
[Bridge – Half-time breakdown + Latin vocal]
(Slow tempo, crushing open-C chugs)
In tenebris lucem quaero!
(In darkness I seek the light!)
Ignis me devorat, sed resurgo!
(The fire consumes me, yet I rise!)
(Guitar sustains over tom rolls and a feedback swell)
⸻
[Solo – Emotional / Shred blend]
Backing progression:
| C5 | G#5 | F5 | G5 | (repeat 2x)
Solo Scale: C Aeolian (C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb)
• Start slow and melodic (bend from Eb→F)
• Build into fast runs with tremolo picking
• End with wide bends and feedback dive into final chorus
⸻
[Final Chorus – Layered Vocals + Harmonic Leads]
🔥 I’m burning inside,
And I’m all alone!
This torment I hide,
It cuts to the bone!
No heaven to find,
No mercy shown —
I’m burning inside,
In igne solus!
⸻
[Outro – Clean guitar + whispered Latin]
(Clean arpeggios in C minor — fade out)
In igne solus…
The fire is my truth
