[Intro – eerie clean guitar + reverse FX]
(Flüstern)
I see your shadow…
I know your name…
(sudden scream)
THE PAST STILL HUNTS ME!
---
[Verse 1 – fast screams + tremolo riffs]
The black cat walks along my spine,
A curse I wear, a fractured sign.
Nine lives of pain I never chose,
It stalks the path I never closed.
It sits upon my broken chest,
A silent judge I can’t suppress.
Every step, it’s right behind,
The ghost I bred inside my mind.
---
[Pre-Chorus – low growl, building tension]
Its eyes are mirrors, cold and deep —
They show the parts I couldn’t keep.
---
[Chorus – shouted hook + blackened atmosphere]
The black cat follows me,
A shadow I can’t set free.
It claws the truth beneath my skin,
A past I’m trapped forever in.
---
[Verse 2 – even heavier, double bass acceleration]
It curls around my every thought,
A darkness time forgot to rot.
I run, I bleed, I scream its name,
But all my sins remain the same.
It knows my fear, it knows my scars,
It prowls between my dying stars.
A beast I fed with guilt and lies,
It lives each time a part of me dies.
---
[Pre-Chorus – whispered scream]
Its shadow stretches through my veins,
A parasite that never wanes.
---
[Chorus – layered screams + clean echo (very faint)]
The black cat follows me,
A shadow I can’t set free.
No matter where I try to flee,
It drags the dark inside of me.
---
[Solo – chaotic, melodic, then dissonant, Start melodisch in Moll, Dann rasende Läufe wie Verfolgungsjagd, Endet in schrillem Dissonanz-Bend, Übergang in Breakdown]
---
💀 [Breakdown – Deathcore mode, slow & destructive]
(Pause – absolute Stille)
(DEEP SCREAM)
I FEED THE BEAST —
THE BEAST IS ME!
Claw the past right out of me!
Break the spine of memory!
No escape — no final breath!
YOUR SHADOW FOLLOWS ME IN DEATH!
---
[Final Chorus – brutal, cold, relentless]
The black cat follows me,
A curse I’ll never kill or free.
It whispers truths I fear to see —
THE DARKEST PART OF ME IS ME!
---
[Outro – quiet, eerie clean guitar]
(Flüstern)
The black cat sleeps…
but never leaves.
