Thirteen shadows standing

(Intro — Group Whisper / Chant)

Thirteen shadows stand in line…

Thirteen voices cross the spine…

Step inside and lose your mind…

We are many. We are ONE this time…

🜂 CHARACTER I — “THE WRAITH”

(Verse 1)

I come crawling from the static where the nightmares breed,

Carved sigils in the dark and they follow your speed.

Hear the floor crack open—yeah, it knows my name,

I’m the echo in your skull when you can't tame the flame.

I drag storms through the hall when I breathe too deep,

Your fear keeps talkin' and I make it speak.

Try to run from the haze? It’ll blind your sight—

I turn your courage into ashes every cold, dead night.

🜁 CHARACTER II — “THE MARIONETTE”

(Verse 2)

You hear strings snap tight when I step in the door,

I’m the one who makes the shadows crawl across the floor.

Every whisper in the rafters bends back to me,

I pull thoughts like wires—your mind ain’t free.

Your heartbeat stutters when you sense my grin,

’Cause I twist old fears ’til they crawl under your skin.

But it’s all in your head—every move, every threat,

I’m the puppetmaster nightmare you haven’t escaped yet.

🜃 CHARACTER III — “THE GRIM BLOOM”

(Verse 3)

Roots crack concrete when I rise from below,

I make gardens out of secrets you don’t want to show.

When your doubts take shape, yeah, I feed ‘em raw,

Turn 'em into beasts that obey no law.

Black petals fall heavy when I stalk the night,

I bloom in the pressure when you lose that fight.

I’m the mirror to the madness that you try to hide—

Fear grows fastest when I’m right outside.

🜄 CHARACTER IV — “THE RED VEIL”

(Verse 4)

I speak in riddles that the walls repeat,

Words twist sharp, turning dread to heat.

I’m the cold in your chest when the lights shut off,

The breath on your neck when the dark goes soft.

You feel me coming like a prophecy’s flame,

Every locked-up memory chanting my name.

When you walk through the night and believe you’re safe—

I’m the veil you cross through, sealing your fate.

(Group Hook — All Voices Layered)

Step into the circle, let the shadows climb…

Thirteen voices call you, one at a time.

Every fear you buried? We bring to life—

Welcome to the ritual—welcome to the night.

FINAL TRADE — Rapid-Fire 4-Way

(The Wraith)

I’m the storm you breathe.

(The Marionette)

I’m the thoughts you weave.

(The Grim Bloom)

I’m the roots beneath.

(The Red Veil)

I’m the doubt you believe.

(All)

We ain’t here for mercy—only what you keep…

Thirteen shadows watching while you fall asleep.

(Outro — Whispered Chant)

If you hear us in the dark, don’t follow the sound…

Thirteen shadows rise… when the fear comes around.
