Prompt / Lyrics
[Section 1: The Frost Settles (0:00–1:00)] [· Solo mandolin or acoustic guitar, tremolo-picked on a single high note (E or B)] [· Layered with wind sounds (field recording of winter wind)] [· A distant, echoing bell tolls three times, very quiet] [· Mood: An empty moor at midnight. The temperature is dropping.] --- [Section 2: Hooves in the Snow (1:00–2:00)] [· Floor tom and kick drum enter slowly—one hoof beat every 2 seconds] [· Low distorted guitar plays a single, repeating drone chord (power chord: F#5)] [· A folk flute (tin whistle or low whistle) plays a simple, mournful 4-note phrase, repeating but slowing each time like it's freezing] [· Mood: Something is approaching. The snow hears it before you do.] --- [Section 3: The Gallop Begins (2:00–2:45)] [· Blast beats enter (fast kick + snare)] [· Tremolo-picked electric guitars, two interweaving melodies—one high and shrieking, one low and chugging] [· The mandolin from section 1 returns, but now distorted and played at double speed] [· No flute here—just cold, mechanical fury] [· Mood: The horse is at full speed. The rider has no face. You should have run earlier.] --- [Section 4: The Frozen Chant (2:45–3:30)] [· Drums drop to half-time (slow, crushing)] [· Clean electric guitar plays a folk melody (something you'd hear at a Samhain bonfire)] [· A choir of voices enters—wordless, humming in harmony, but slightly detuned (like ghosts trying to remember a song)] [· The black metal shriek from the distance returns, holding one long note under the choir] [· Mood: The procession has voices. They're not human. They're not kind.] --- [Section 5: Frost and Silence (3:30–4:30)] [· Everything drops except the wind and a single acoustic guitar] [· The guitar plays the same 4-note phrase from section 2, but now plucked so slowly it barely moves] [· One final hoof beat. Then nothing.] [· A child's whisper (unintelligible, reversed?) fades in and out for 5 seconds] [· Mood: The storm passed. Or it's just waiting. You can't tell anymore.]
