Hell Break Loose
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - warped VHS hiss, sub-bass rumble, reversed synth swells, eerie chopped-vocal murmurs]
Yeah...
Static in the walls, hear the omen breathe,
Smoke in the hallways, ghosts in the machine,
I been too calm, now the storm got teeth,
When the sky go black, that’s when I speak...
[Verse 1 - cold trap drums, liquid synth ripples, sinister low-register rap, glitchy vocal stutters]
I move like a shadow in a neon fog,
Heart on ice, but the rage still crawls,
Every smile got a blade on the back,
Every prayer in the dark get lost.
I seen kings get cracked by the weight of the crown,
Seen saints turn snake when the lights went down,
Now my pulse like a kick drum, hard and loud,
And the whole damn room feel the pressure now.
No peace in the code, no sleep in the wire,
Voices in the bassline telling me “higher,”
I been locked in the vault with the venom and fear,
Now I’m cutting through walls like a fever, my dear.
Eyes red in the gloom, got a glitch in the grin,
When the sirens sing low, let the chaos begin,
I don’t run from the dark, I invite it in,
Tell the devil, “Relax, I’m the worst of them.”
[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, filtered hats, haunting vaporwave choir, layered ad-libs]
Hear that crack in the sky?
That’s the calm before we lose control,
Feel the floor start to shake,
Like a buried riot in the soul,
One spark, one stare,
And the whole world bends tonight,
When the pressure breaks...
It all ignites...
[Chorus - explosive hook, heavy 808s, distorted lead vocal, wide layered harmonies, cinematic impact]
When hell break loose, we don’t blink, we just burn,
Blackout pulse, let the whole damn city learn,
No chain, no cage, no fear left to earn,
If the night wants war, then the night get served.
When hell break loose, let it rain on the pain,
Ghosts in the chrome and the blood in the vein,
I was born in the ash, I came back changed,
Now the fire in my throat make the darkness cave.
[Verse 2 - denser percussion, glitch edits, darker flow, eerie synth arps, aggressive ad-libs]
I got a mouth full of thunder and a head full of smoke,
Every word like a curse when I’m letting it go,
They been feeding me lies, now I spit out the bones,
Got a graveyard rhythm in my undertone.
Midnight dealer with a mind like a maze,
I can vanish in the static, reappear in the haze,
You can hear me in the walls when the voltage frays,
Like a demon on a loop in a busted cassette tape.
No halo, no savior, just a blade in the vibe,
I been dancing with the void and it taught me to thrive,
If the universe folds, I’ll be standing alive,
With a grin so cold it could fracture the ice.
And the bass keep dragging like a chain through the deep,
Every kick hit hard like a curse in the beat,
I’m the glitch in the dream, I’m the teeth in the sleep,
I’m the scream that the silence can never repeat.
[Bridge - stripped-back pads, distant echo, half-time drums, vulnerable but ominous vocal]
If I disappear in the smoke,
Would you still hear my name?
If the whole world cracks in two,
Would you still feel the flame?
I was made from the wreckage,
From the wounds and the wires,
Now I walk through the blackout
With a heart full of fire...
[Final Chorus - biggest drop, distorted bass, stacked harmonies, triplet hats, euphoric-dark release]
When hell break loose, we don’t blink, we just burn,
Blackout pulse, let the whole damn city learn,
No chain, no cage, no fear left to earn,
If the night wants war, then the night get served.
When hell break loose, let it rain on the pain,
Ghosts in the chrome and the blood in the vein,
I was born in the ash, I came back changed,
Now the fire in my throat make the darkness cave.
[Outro - fading tape warble, distant sirens, reverb-soaked ad-libs, spectral vaporwave hum]
Let it all fall down...
Let the static
