Lurker in the Shadows

[Intro]
Shadows creep, my mind ignites
In the void, I see the blight
Silent claws on the wall of night
Questioning reality, losing sight

[Verse 1]
Lurking beneath the veil of sleep
Darkness whispers, secrets seep
Eyes that burn, unseen yet near
Feeding on my growing fear

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it real or just despair?
A demon born from shadows' lair?
Every step, I feel the stare
In this nightmare, do I dare?

[Chorus]
Creature in the darkness, I see you
A monster lurking, breaking through
Alone against this haunting view
Questioning what is false or true

[Verse 2]
Flesh and shadows intertwine
A terror no one else can find
Meant to be the chosen one
To face the beast when day is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I trust my own eyes?
Or is this madness in disguise?
Every breath, it multiplies
A nightmare’s grip, I realize

[Chorus]
Creature in the darkness, I see you
A monster lurking, breaking through
Alone against this haunting view
Questioning what is false or true

[Bridge]
Shadows scream, my mind's abyss
The creature’s gaze I cannot dismiss
Truths unravel in this mist
Am I the prey or the witness?

[Outro]
Silence falls, but doubts remain
Lurking shadows cause my pain
In the darkness, I sustain
The creature's echo, in my brain

Deathcore, intense riffs, guttural vocals, dark atmospheric elements, inspired by waking the cadaver, evil demonic vocal
