[Verse I — eerie synth + slow guitar riff]
(female vocals, soft and eerie)
I close my eyes — the dark begins to hum,
a whisper crawls beneath my skin.
He speaks in lullabies and lies,
the dream pulls deeper, I give in.
(male screams)
He hides behind the painted sleep,
a smile carved through the fear I keep!
---
[Pre-Chorus — drums rising, tempo builds]
(female vocals)
The shadow breathes, it calls my name…
(male screams)
And drags me through the flame!
---
[Chorus — explosive metalcore hook]
(female lead, soaring melody)
Sleep eternal — I can’t escape the sound,
his claws are singing as the lights go down.
(male screams overlapping)
I’m bleeding through this lucid hell —
he waits for me where angels fell!
---
[Verse II — heavier, syncopated riffs]
(male screams)
Your dreams are mine to desecrate,
I’ll turn your peace to rust and hate.
You’ll beg to wake — but you’re already gone,
in my world, your heartbeat’s just a song!
(female echo)
A song that ends before it starts…
---
[Bridge — haunting, slow build, ambient whispers + violins]
(female whisper)
Is this a dream or am I dead?
He wears the faces in my head.
(male screams rise from the silence)
You can’t kill what sleep creates —
your fear’s the door that seals your fate!
---
[Breakdown — brutal, dissonant, cinematic]
(male screams only)
Sleep now, forever —
I’ll tear through your heaven!
You can’t wake —
I’m your god in the dreamstate!
(short pause, low sub-bass hit)
Now scream…
for me.
---
[Final Chorus — female vocals, layered with screams]
(female lead)
Sleep eternal — I can’t escape the sound,
his claws are singing as the lights go down.
(male screams)
I’m bleeding through this lucid hell —
he waits for me where angels fell!
(female echo, fading)
He waits for me…
where angels fell.
---
[Outro — eerie synth fading into silence, sound of distant breathing]
(female whisper)
Don’t fall asleep…
