Hell's Wake

[Intro – eerie distorted guitar feedback, slow pounding double bass] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – chugging rhythm guitar, piercing lead riff, aggressive growls] Shadows claw through my sleeping breath Fingers tearing at my chest Darkness swallows every light I’m trapped in this endless night [Pre-Chorus – building guitar harmonies, faster double bass, rising tension] Every scream gets stuck in my throat Every wound leaves a permanent ghost I can’t tell where the dream ends and I begin This agony’s wearing thin [Chorus – blistering lead guitar, thunderous drums, layered growls and clean backing vocals] Rip my soul into shattered pieces Bleed me dry of all my peace Begging for the pain to stop Begging for the dark to drop [Verse 2 – melodic guitar arpeggios, driving bass, guttural snarls] Teeth grind down on broken hope Skin splits open where the demons grope They feast on my fear, they drink my tears I’m drowning in these endless years [Pre-Chorus – intensified guitar layers, blast beats, desperate vocal delivery] Every bone in my body aches Every memory starts to break I’m burning alive in this hellish dream I’m begging for the end to seem [Chorus – soaring lead guitar solo, pummeling drums, full vocal intensity] Rip my soul into shattered pieces Bleed me dry of all my peace Begging for the pain to stop Begging for the dark to drop [Interlude – haunting clean guitar melody, soft atmospheric synths, moment of false calm] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – slow, crushing guitar riffs, deep growls, raw vulnerability] I can’t take this suffering anymore I’m on my knees, I’m begging for Mercy from this endless night Mercy from this endless fight [Build-up – accelerating guitar harmonies, building drums, rising vocal intensity] The walls are closing in around me The demons scream, they won’t release me Then a crack of light cuts through the haze I reach for it, I’m in a daze [Climax – full band explosion, soaring lead guitar, mix of growls and powerful clean vocals] I stand in hell, screaming at the sky The light breaks through, I won’t die The nightmares fade, the pain subsides I’m finally free from the lies [Final Chorus – epic layered vocals, blistering guitar work, thunderous rhythm section] Rip my soul no more, I’m healing Bleed me dry no more, I’m feeling The pain has stopped, the dark is gone I’m finally standing strong [Outro – fading guitar harmonies, slow fading drums, soft clean vocal line] The light holds me, I’m awake Hell’s wake won’t take me again
