[Intro – Whispering Static + Echoing Footsteps + Distant Serpent Hiss]
Something’s following us.
Not through space…
Through thought.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Calm, Suspicious]
Every ruin feels the same
Twisted halls without a name
Purple fractures in the sky
Watching every time I blink my eyes
No demons rushing to attack
No armies trying to hold me back
Just silence stretched too thin—
Like something crawling underneath my skin
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Reality Feeling Wrong]
Every shadow slightly bends
Every hallway never ends
Every step repeats again
Like the world forgot its shape
⸻
[Chorus I – Eerie, Controlled]
Abyssal trace — inside my head
Following every path I tread
No reflection stays the same
Every mirror speaks my name
Truth distorting in the flame
Trying to pull apart my name
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Verse 2 – ShadowSing Warns Him]
(ShadowSing, low)
Don’t trust what you remember here.
(Crusader)
You know him.
(ShadowSing)
I know what he became.
Kharoth doesn’t conquer worlds.
He corrodes certainty.
He breaks identity slowly…
Until people surrender themselves willingly.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus II – Kharoth Appears Indirectly]
Reflections moving out of sync
Voices speaking when I don’t think
Something smiling through the glass
Like it’s already seen what comes to pass
⸻
[Chorus II – More Aggressive, Tension Rising]
Abyssal trace — twisting sight
Making day collapse to night
Every memory under strain
Every thought becoming flame
He wants fracture, he wants fear
He wants me to disappear
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[BREAKDOWN – Sudden Violence]
(GLASS SHATTERS)
Everything changes.
Hallways twist vertically
Gravity breaks sideways
The sky folds inward
(SCREAM)
ENOUGH OF THE GAMES.
⸻
[Bridge – First Direct Contact]
(A calm voice from every direction)
“You carry balance…
inside a creature built from war.”
(Kharoth)
“How fascinating.”
(Crusader)
Show yourself.
(Kharoth)
“You’re already looking at me.”
All reflections smile.
None of them match.
⸻
[Final Chorus III – Controlled Defiance]
Abyssal trace — now revealed
Not illusion, something real
Every lie now stripped away
Every shadow put on display
You can bend reality’s frame
You can whisper through my name
But I know exactly what I became
From shadow and flame…
I dominate.
⸻
[Outro – Psychological Hook]
(Crusader breathing heavily)
A reflection remains in the mirror after he walks away.
And it whispers:
“Are you sure you’re still the original?”
ShadowSing
