Nightmare Requiem

(Whispers layered)

Requiem… requiem…

⸻

Moon hang low like a verdict call

City of ghosts in a crimson sprawl

Every step make the past stand tall

But I don’t bow to it at all

Names I lost in the echo chamber

Pain carved deep but it made me braver

Built my throne from the fallen saviors

Now I stand where the dark turns stranger

Heartbeat sync with a war drum roll

Graveyard sky but I own my soul

Every fracture made me whole

From the void I rose

⸻

This is my nightmare requiem

Choir of fire within

Every shadow I’ve ever been

Now answers when I step in

Hear the heavens tremble thin

Feel the reckoning begin

If I fall, I fall as king

Crowned in everything

⸻

Black rain fall but it don’t baptize

Just sharpen the flame in my eyes

Every demon I recognize

As a mirror in disguise

Internal rhythm — battle cry

808 like the end times

Guitars scream in overdrive

While the old me dies

I don’t pray for a softer end

I don’t beg and I don’t pretend

From the ruin I ascend

Again. And again.

⸻

This is my nightmare requiem

No mercy left within

Every wound I carried in

Turns to discipline

Let the skyline cave me in

I’ll rewrite the hymn

If I fall, I fall as storm

Then rise again

⸻

(Drop — crushing guitars)

BURN —

THE —

CROWN

LET IT MELT INTO THE GROUND

NO —

MORE —

CHAINS

ONLY FIRE IN MY VEINS

I AM

THE STORM

YOU FEARED

I AM

THE VOICE

YOU HEARD

THIS IS NOT

MY END

THIS IS

ASCENT

⸻

This is my nightmare requiem

From the dark I ascend

Every fracture, every sin

Led me here in the end

Choirs rise in the wind

Ash and light intertwine within

If I fall, I fall immortal

Then begin again

Outro – (After Final Chorus)

(Choir sustaining. Drums slow. Guitars ringing out.)

From the ruins I rise alone

No more fear in the undertone

Every scar that the night has shown

Turned to marrow inside my bones

Let the sky fall piece by piece

I am war. I am peace.

Every chain now released

In the silence beneath

(Choir swells louder)

This was never a requiem

For the man I used to be

It was a warning —

To the world

That tried to bury me.

(Inhale… heavy drum hit)

I am the echo

After the scream

I am the end —

Of the nightmare’s dream.

(Massive final chord. Choir sustains. Cut to silence.)
