[intro —full-force male screams over dark ambient drones, eerie piano strikes, swelling strings, rumbling sub-bass]
YOU DRAGGED ME INTO DARKNESS
WHERE EVERY TRUTH YOU SPOKE WAS LIES.
YOU CUT ME OPEN HEARTLESS,
LEFT ALL MY HOPE TO PARALYZE.
I CHOKED ON EVERY PROMISE,
THE ONES YOU SWORE YOU’D NEVER BREAK.
YOU TURNED MY FAITH TO GODLESS,
AND FED MY SOUL TO YOUR MISTAKE.
YOU BUILT A KINGDOM OUT OF AGONY,
AND CROWNED ME IN THE PAIN YOU GAVE.
BUT EVEN SHATTERED HERE IN RUIN,
I’LL RISE AGAIN
FROM WHAT
YOU
MADE.
[Movement I —melodic raw vocals, soaring strings, swelling synth pads, tribal toms, slow-building tension]
You break me open just to see what bleeds,
A love that crawls on wounded knees.
But even drowning in the dark you made—
I still reach out
Like I can be saved.
⸻
[Movement II —guttural screams, massive downtuned guitars, blast accents, cinematic brass stabs, distorted choirs]
TEAR ME DOWN
Let the weight of your words come crashing.
TAKE ME NOW
Rip the heart from the cage it’s thrashing.
You want the monster—
You forged him in flame.
Now watch him BURN
At the sound of your name.
⸻
[Chorus —soaring clean belts + orchestral strings, pulsing synths, crushing chord hits, emotional crescendo]
I wear your crown of ruin
Like a kingdom built on pain.
Every ghost you left inside me
Still whispers through my veins.
If I fall into your fire—
Would you rise to take my place?
Or watch the wreckage of your making
Fade without a trace?
⸻
[Movement III —falsetto vocals + atmospheric guitars, glitchy percussion, warm bass swells]
I tried to love you through the fractures,
Through the shadows in your eyes.
But even beauty turns to ashes
When the truth you hide
Never dies.
⸻
[Movement IV —screams layered with melodic cries + fast chugs, choir hits, double-kick runs, dark electronic pulses]
Don’t you dare
Call this redemption.
You lit the fuse—
You sparked the tension.
You sowed despair
In every breath.
Now reap the storm
You called
DEATH!
[Heavy djent drop and break down]
Atlantica
