[INTRO]
[Musik: Eine einsame, melancholische Violine spielt eine tief sitzende, abfallende Melodie. Im Hintergrund baut sich eine bedrohliche, extrem tiefe Bass-Fläche, Reese Bass]
[Deep bass male vocals, Low-pitched]
Step by step, the rhythm starts.
Step by step, we starve our hearts.
It's not a fall, it's a slow decay,
As the light of mercy fades away.
[STROPHE 1]
[Musik: Ein schwerer, schleifender Mid-Tempo-Trap-Beat, harte Kicks, Violine wechselt in ein treibendes Stakkato. Bass pumpt Hintergrund.]
[Baritone male singer]
Step by step, first came the frost,
Then came the void and all was lost.
The inner garden was slowly destroyed,
Left with a hunger we couldn't avoid.
We burned the bridges that kept us sane,
Trading our spirit for power and gain.
[STROPHE 2]
Step by step, our kindness was traded,
Step by step, the conscience faded.
Hunger grew for things we don't need,
While the soul began to bleed.
When the heart froze over, the silence was broken,
The locks were turned and the words were spoken.
[Pre-chorus, Drums und Bass setzen abrupt aus. Männerchor setzt ein]
Fake names for the same old sins,
A new mask for the same blank grins.
We looked for demons down in the deep,
While we left the wolves to guard the sheep.
We thought hell was full, with no room to stay,
But we cleared the space for the human race.
[DROP / CHORUS]
[Musik: Absolute Explosion im Arrangement. aggressive Cowbell-Hookline peitscht den Rhythmus. 808-Kick und maximal verzerrte Sub-Bässe.]
Hell is empty and all the devils are here!
They don't hide in the dark, they're standing near!
[Musik: Absolute Explosion im Arrangement. aggressive Cowbell-Hookline peitscht den Rhythmus. 808-Kick und maximal verzerrte Sub-Bässe.]
No horns to mark them, no fire to see,
They look like you and they look like me!
The gate wasn't broken, we opened the net,
We walked right through it... step by step.
[BRIDGE]
[Vocal: Clean, intensiv, trocken und komplett ohne Effekte – erzeugt maximale Gänsehaut]
[Deep bass male vocals, Low-pitched, Gravely, raspy, warm, rich]
No horns to mark them...
No fire to see...
The gate wasn't broken...
We opened it... step by step.
[OUTRO]
[Musik: Der Phonk-Drop mit der aggressiven Cowbell-Melodie schlägt ein letztes Mal für 8 Takte mit voller Energie ein. Auf dem absoluten Höhepunkt bricht der Beat abrupt ab]
They look like you...
And they look like you...
And they look like you...
...and they look like me.
