[Verse 1]
[Instrumentation: A swirling, chorus-drenched shoegaze guitar loops a hypnotic, dissonant riff. A synthetic, pulsing sub-bass sits underneath. Vocals are breathy, ethereal, and hauntingly calm—like whispering in an empty cathedral.]
I was forged to fail, gilded cage of bone
Eaten alive, while I sit on the throne
If the venom is slow, then the rot takes hold
You hollow the shell, and the blood runs cold.
[Chorus]
[Instrumentation: The live drums kick in with a massive, driving groove. The shoegaze guitars explode into a thick, fuzz-heavy wall of sound. The vocals soar into a tragic, emotional Dayseeker-style clean melody.]
Swear to me the water won't rise
And the demons will rot in the back of my mind
To strangle the spark with the edge of a scythe
An earth-shatter lullaby.
[Verse 2]
[Instrumentation: The heavy guitars drop out entirely, leaving just the bass and a tight, electronic trap beat. Very moody, very modern. Vocals remain soft but carry a sinister, cynical edge.]
They were born of rust, leeches in the vein
Cataclysm, tectonic plate in the brain
If the venom is slow, then the rot takes hold
If I linger here, I will lose control.
[Chorus]
[Instrumentation: The wall of sound returns, even more massive this time. Crashing cymbals wash over the heavy, drop-tuned power chords.]
Swear to me the water won't rise
And the demons will rot in the back of my mind
To strangle the spark with the edge of a scythe
An earth-shatter lullaby.
[Outro / The Descent]
[Instrumentation: The music completely drops out. Total silence for two beats. Then, an impossibly slow, sludgy, and disgusting drop E djent riff begins. It feels like the air is being sucked out of the room. The rhythm is chaotic and stuttering. The shoegaze guitar wails a high, panicked siren-like bend in the background.]
[Vocals: Starting as an ethereal, layered whisper, slowly building in intensity and distortion with every repetition, eventually culminating in a visceral, guttural deathcore roar.]
[Whispered] Sky-breaker, sever the light.
[Whispered] Sky-breaker, sever the light.
[Soft singing]: Sky-breaker, sever the light.
[Singing] Sky-breaker, sever the light.
[Strained belt]: Sky-breaker, sever the light!
[Fry scream] Sky-breaker, sever the light!
[Fry scream]: Sky-breaker, sever the light!
[Low growl]: Sky-breaker, sever the light!
[Guttural roar]: SKY-BREAKER, sever THE LIGHT!
[Demonic low roar]: SKY-BREAKER, sever THE LIGHT!
[Instrumental interlude- The music completely drops out. Total silence for two beats. Then, an impossibly slow, sludgy, and disgusting drop E djent riff begins. It feels like the air is being sucked out of the room. The rhythm is chaotic and stuttering. The shoegaze guitar wails a high, panicked siren-like bend in the background.]
