A cinematic and dramatic symphonic rock composition featuring a powerful male tenor vocal. The track opens with a haunting atmosphere of low-frequency drones and ethereal synth pads before transitioning into a grand orchestral arrangement. The instrumentation includes a prominent string section with staccato violins and sweeping cellos, a grand piano providing melodic accents, and a heavy rock drum kit with deep, resonant kicks and crisp snares. Distorted electric guitars enter during the climax to add grit and intensity. The vocal performance is operatic and emotive, utilizing wide vibrato and soaring high notes. The song structure follows a slow build from a dark, intimate intro to a massive, anthemic finale. The production is polished with large-hall reverb on the vocals and a wide stereo field for the orchestral elements. The tempo is a slow, deliberate 70 BPM in a minor key, emphasizing a sense of impending doom and tragic grandeur.

Lyrics
IMMORTAL FOR A TIME
(Helen)
See me in the dark shadows
Hear me on the wings of madness
Make them bleed for you
It was all for you
For you
(Candyman)
Helen…
You tremble like candlelight in my hive
They call me monster
They call me myth
But you carved my name
Into your ribs
You wanted proof
You wanted fire
You opened the door
To your own desire
I am the wound
You cannot close
I am the terror
You chose
(Helen & Candyman)
You are the writing on the walls
The name that haunts these hallowed halls
Come with me and we will die
Right before their very eyes
We will be immortal for a time
The pain is as exquisite as divine
[Instrumental – Massive trailer drum hits, pipe organ, rising choir]
(Helen)
I saw you in the mirror glass
Felt your breath upon my skin
If loving you is sacrilege
Then let the burning begin
Tear the veil
Split the sky
Let them watch
Let them cry
If legend is the price of love
Then crucify me alive
Honey sweet and honey cursed
Love is hunger
Hunger thirst
Saint or sinner
Bride or flame
Once you whisper
Speak his name
Candyman candyman candyman make them bleed
make them bleed we will bleed see my bleed
i will bleed, feel me bleed, bleed,. bleed candy...blood, honey
(Helen & Candyman)
Come with me and we will die
Right before their very eyes
We will be immortal for a time
The pain is as exquisite as divine
Come with me let the pain give way to ecstasy
Come now and be mine
Come by the tonight
(Quartet – Bernadette, Trevor, The Child, The Old Woman)
(Bernadette)
This isn’t love, it’s delusion
(Trevor)
She’s slipping further from my hands
(The Child)
Mama says don’t say his name
(The Old Woman)
Names are doors you can’t command
(Helen)
For you —
(Candyman)
For eternity —
(Gospel Choir)
Blood remembers —
(Bernadette)
She is drowning—
(Trevor)
I can’t save her—
(The Child)
Don’t say it—
(The Old Woman)
Say it—
(Candyman, whisper)
Say my name…
(Helen)
Say it with me.
(Full Company)
You are the writing on the walls
The name that haunts these hallowed halls
Come with me and we will die
Right before their very eyes
We will be immortal for a time
The pain is as exquisite as divine
(Gospel Choir, underneath)
Immortal… immortal… immortal…
(child)
candyman...candyman....candyman..............candy.
