[HEAVY INSTRUMENTAL INTRO — crushing low-tuned riff, syncopated drums, swelling ambience, slow-building synth breathes under a jagged, pulsing rhythm, Guitars strike in waves — sharp, mechanical, tension building, The final hit drops into silence before the first vocal]
[INTRO — Soft / atmospheric / echoing murmurs]
[Low humming synth, distant heartbeat thud]
I hear you breathing
Like you’re standing at the garden gate
Your trembling Eden
Waiting for a hand to change its fate
If you step closer
There’s no returning to the light
But you’re already leaning
Already craving
Already reaching
For a taste of the night
[A single low note drones… swelling…]
[Heavy instrumental break — The drone snaps — guitars slam in with a jagged, down-tuned riff.
Drums lock into a stuttering, ascendant pattern.
The pressure builds until the final choke-hit drops all sound to silence]
[VERSE 1 — low, intimate, restrained tension]
You never knew
How easy it could be to fall
Till you tasted the truth
Dripping like poison from my jaw
You felt the tremble
When shadows curled around your grace
Now you’re tangled
In every line I traced across your faith
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS 1 — rising urgency, breathless, melodic tension]
Tell me you want it —
Even if it tears your world apart
Tell me you’ll risk it —
Let me brand your holy heart
⸻
[CHORUS 1 — soaring, emotional, wide open]
Take a bit of the apple,
Take a bite out of me
You’re sinking into my temple
Where your sins learn how to breathe
If heaven tries to claim you,
I’ll pull you back and see —
That you’d rather live in heaven
Only when it’s here with me
⸻
[VERSE 2 — soft-but-sinful, hypnotic, creeping warmth]
I saw the light
Flicker the moment you let go
Felt your halo ignite
Burning sweeter than you know
You stepped inside
The place you swore you’d never tread
Now paradise
Is built on every word you left unsaid
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS 2 — more intense, edge-of-collapse tension]
Tell me you feel it —
The fall that twists your lungs in fire
Tell me you need it —
The dark that answers your desire
⸻
[CHORUS 2 — fuller, heavier, layered vocals]
Take a bit of the apple,
Take a bite out of me
You’re rewriting your own gospel
On the back of blasphemy
If heaven tries to warn you,
You’ll drown the prophecy —
’Cause you’d rather risk damnation
If it means you fall with me
⸻
[BRIDGE — HEAVY, violent, ritualistic, breakdown energy]
[ritual whisper]
Give in…
Give in…
Let the hunger drag you in…
[Screamed]
BITE DOWN —
Let the serpent split your crown
BITE DOWN —
Feel temptation drag you down
[chugs accelerate / drums double]
You want the fire
You want the fall
You want the ruin
You want it all
(Scream with rising bend]
TAKE THE APPLE—
TAKE ME WITH IT
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS — slow start → explosive drop, triumphant + tragic]
Take a bit of the apple,
You were born to cross this line
If the heavens start to crumble,
Let them — you were never mine
Take a bite out of the sinner
Who became your remedy
If eternity is watching,
you still choose me…
GAHHH!
Atlantica
