[Intro]
[Deep male vocal][growl][pitch-bent fx][spoken tune]
In this giant universal massiveness..
We stare each night
Into the dark behind the stars
Where only silence exists
And I get swallowed into the abyss
[Dramatic entry][full sound][loud]
[Low growls][husky male][gentle crescendo]
[Verse 1]
A Childs mind
Doesnt know how to find
Their way out from a nightmare
It really Boils up their fear
Is there somebody there?
In the closet or under the bed
Tip toe round dont let it know youre scared
[Loud crash]
did you hear that!?!?
Hes back!!!
The boogeyman is here...
Grew up brain says
Nobody lives under the bed
But. Now, it’s in the blood,
Encoded reminded every heart beating thud
Breathe with the panic, over & over
As you shake and sweat so erratic
That dread
You had when you looked under the bed
Draws your eyes up to the sky,
Holy shit, that kid was right
You should be scared of the void,
Its the place your mind is
Its the place you'll find
[death scream][crescendo] The dark soul of the night!!
[Pre chorus][melodic][rough]
Fear filters out the weak
The strong gain direction
Don’t flinch, dont speak
Access adrenaline-fueled perception
[Interlude][violin solo]
[spoken][symphony orchestral build][guitar pick]
As kids we feared
The boogeyman in our rooms
Then we grew up, & dared
To look up & now we see how vast
The black shadow surrounding us in dark
It's the real threat!
In our minds
In our heads
[Hook][double layer vocal][melodic][death metal male]
Born from dark into light
From a void into sight
I make peace
with my inner beast
Now he has my back
Stars are just a lure
They draw in the blind
You call it night
And I call it MINE!!!!!!
[VERSE 2][Rap][metal undertone][deep male]
Walking through death to feel the flame,
Pain is a prophet, whisperin’ names.
Taught to lay with shadows to cope,
Looks like peace ITS NOT .... Its only false hope!
I’ll be the echo, I’ll be your curse,
I'll be your reason I'll silence what hurts.
Grew through the weeds of selfishness believed I was nothing but worthless
evolved through all that pain,
And now the fear will bow
[whisper][death metal] when it hears my name.
[Music Interlude][loud][full sound]
[cinematic orchestra][eerie choral ahhs]
[Symphonic layers]
[Pull back][beautiful violin solo]
[Bridge][angelic female vocal][strong]
Stars are the beauty in the vast
Darkness all around
Endless doors of life of freedom
If you want to be found
Look up and make your wish
Turn hope into belief
Open my eyes and see, do the stars stare back at me?
[Final Hook][epic build up]
Born from the dark to fight
The Wars, Epic battles inside
But then I made peace
& Crowned my inner beast
To be the keeper of the storm
So now I can be free
Didnt know all Id need
Was to run into the storm but choose to transform
Oh my fucking GOD! [thunder][storm FX]
Now I see - it was always me - I am the beast!
[Outro][quiet voice][sad]
The stars are a lure
I let them draw
Me in,
I used to call it night
And now I call it MINE!!
