Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] (The sound of a heavy iron gate creaking open. A low, vibrating bass note starts.) In the deep underworld, That’s where I met Beelzebub. I've been lost, I've been cursed, I'm probably banned from church. [Chorus] (The music opens up into a wide, cavernous sound with a haunting choir.) City of shadows, looking for my hollow, Lump in my throat, it's getting hard to swallow. City of shadows, where misery's normal, Demons all sing a choral to warm up—I'm scared, bud. [Verse 2] Monstrous faces, And plenty of phases. Umbral nightmares, dreadful and frightening. (Music cuts to a rhythmic, ticking clock sound) I'm looking for something I don't think I'll find, A mysterious healing, so I’ll leave the past behind. But I crossed the line, beneath the lies, You'll find a broken soul with a tormented mind. [Bridge] (Vocals are layered and whispered from multiple directions) I'm stealing my own life, I dimmed my own light. Numbing my inside, All alone in this lugubrious night. [Verse 3] (The beat gets heavier—industrial drums, like hammers hitting metal) Built a hell in my head, Where the devil wants me dead. Maybe I should end it all, Before I die in my bed. I tasted the poison, Killed my emotions. Got lost in a prison, Made of illusions... (illusions...) [Chorus] City of shadows, looking for my hollow, Lump in my throat, it's getting hard to swallow. City of shadows, where misery's normal, Demons all sing a choral to warm up—I'm scared, bud. [Outro] (The choir from the chorus starts to distort and slow down) City of shadows... I'm scared, bud... (The iron gate from the intro slams shut. Total silence.)
