Time Forgot

[Spoken word]
As we lay on the ground, the wind picks up.
The sky darkens....the light fades...
---
[Intro – Ambient Interlude | Whispered Clean Vocals | Free Time]
(Guitar swells, delay trails, eerie synth pads)
[Vocals – Clean]
"Is this now, or just a flicker of then?
If God is watching, why’s He counting backwards?
Tick, tick, tick—my ribs are clocks,
Every breath breaks something sacred."
---
[Verse 1 – Screamed Vocals | 7/8 Time | Dissonant riffing]
[Vocals – Screamed]
“SLIT in the seams of the seconds again!
I keep bleeding meaning but it fades in the bend.
Your truths are paper, your gods are frauds—
And every fuckin’ preacher’s just another damn facade!”
[Backing Vocals – Low growl harmony]
"Break me! Bend me! Feed me to the concept of time!"
---
[Pre-Chorus – Clean Vocals | 4/4 | Melodic and haunting]
[Vocals – Clean]
"I was born inside a loop,
Chained to shadows of myself.
What’s the point of moving forward
If the end’s behind a shelf?"
[Backing Vocals – Echoed falsetto]
"We fall, we fall, we fall... through time."
---
[Chorus – Screamed lead, clean harmony | 5/4 pulse, intense rhythm]
[Vocals – Screamed]
“Fuck your order, fuck your fate—
I won't bow to this ticking hate!
We are gods with broken hands,
Writing scripts in shifting sand!”
[Backing Vocals – Clean harmonies]
"But who will read the words we carve
If time forgets the names we are?"
---
[Verse 2 – Spoken word / scream blend | 7/8 to 4/4 shift]
[Vocals – Spoken, then screamed]
"I saw a child beg the sky for a second chance—
But the sky was busy burning."
[Screamed]
“WE ARE GHOSTS IN MECHANISMS!
Rotting logic in our veins!
Paradox-puppets—cut the strings
Before the timeline snaps again!”
---
[Bridge – Ambient Interlude | Free Time | Melancholic Clean Vocals]
(Fingerpicked guitar, reverb-heavy synth)
[Vocals – Clean]
"The stars remember what we forget.
Each breath a funeral for what we never said.
If I vanish now, will time even blink?
Or will the void keep writing in my ink?"
---
[Breakdown – Chaotic Screaming | Polyrhythmic 5/4 and 7/8]
[Vocals – Screamed]
“CUT THE THREADS, FUCK YOUR CLOCKS!
I AM THE CHAOS THAT TIME FORGOT!
Every second’s a noose and I’m swinging—
Tick, tick, tick—now I’m screaming!”
[Backing Vocals – Guttural growls]
"Reset me! Erase me! Time, just fucking face me!"
---
[Final Chorus – Clean/Scream duet | 4/4 | Uplifting yet tragic]
[Vocals – Clean & Screamed in unison]
"We are echoes in the static,
Dreams that cracked the hourglass.
Even if I die forgotten—
I’ll haunt the past."
[Outro – Ambient Washout | Whispered Vocals]
[Vocals – Whispered Clean]
"Time... was never real.
We just needed something to blame.”
