Ensnared by Dread

Verse 1]

In the shadows, I spin my thread

Silken silence, words unsaid

Watch you crawl into the zone

This web is mine, you’re not alone

Clock is ticking — every beat

Tangled tight beneath your feet

You never saw me in the air

Now you’re caught, and I don’t care

You thought I’d fade, just slip away

But I was coiled, just let you play

Now the venom starts to rise

You’re running out of time

I wait, I watch — the kill is near

You feel me breathing in your fear

Still the king, I never fell

Your time is up — I’m doing well

I’m patient poison, dressed in black

Strike so hard, no coming back

You had your run, now feel the thrill

I’m in control — I wait to kill

Every heartbeat’s one more thread

In this cage above your head

I don’t chase, I calculate

I don’t break, I dominate

You called me weak for standing still

But silence sharpens every kill

You danced, you laughed — you thought you’d win

Now you’re shaking in my grin

[Bridge] (breakdown with heavy riffs)

Eight eyes, one truth — I see it all

You rise, then fall — your empire’s small

Each second screams — it’s closing in

You’re gasping now — I always win

I wait, I watch — the kill is near

You feel me breathing in your fear

Still the king, I never fell

Your time is up — I’m doing well

I’m patient poison, cold and still

Your hour’s gone — now comes the thrill

You had your run, I had my fill

I’m in control — I live to kill

[Outro] (spoken or whispered over fading distortion)

In the web, there’s no escape

Time’s the thread I love to break
