My Wizarding Ways

Lyrics

[Intro - eerie cinematic strings, ghostly choir swells, distant thunder, two bass guitars rumbling in unison]
Ash on the altar, smoke in my veins,
Moonlight crawling through the broken panes,
Ancient names in the walls I crave,
I was born where the dead misbehave.

[Verse 1 - low, sinister spoken-sung vocals, distorted bass groove, whispered choir shadows, slow tom pulses]
I wear the night like a second skin,
A grin carved deep where the sins begin,
Blackened candles flicker and sway,
I twist the dark in my hands all day.
Ravens circle my crooked throne,
Bones in my pocket, cold and worn,
Every spell got a price to pay,
And I never once looked away.

[Pre-Chorus - tension rising, layered gang vocals, strings climbing, bass guitars locking tighter]
Hear the chanting under the floor,
Feel the hunger at the door,
If you want the truth, come closer now,
I’ll teach the shadows how to bow.

[Chorus - explosive, anthemic, full distortion, massive drums, choir and gang vocals, soaring lead line]
These are my wizarding ways,
Cutting through the veil with a blinding blaze,
I bend the night, I break the cage,
I write my curse in a fiery rage.
These are my wizarding ways,
Hell in my heart and a storm in my gaze,
When the darkness calls, I never obey—
I become the spell, I become the fray.

[Verse 2 - heavier groove, syncopated riffs, snarling vocals, eerie string stabs, bass duel texture]
Two bass lines crawling under my skin,
One for the loss, one for the wrath within,
I split the ground with a crooked chord,
And the air goes cold when I lift my sword.
Glass-eyed saints in a cathedral of rust,
Pray to the void, but the void won’t trust,
I’ve seen the future in a cracked black pool,
Every king turns to dust, every tyrant a fool.

[Pre-Chorus - building tension, choir harmonies darker and higher, drums accelerating]
Hear the chanting under the floor,
Feel the hunger roar and roar,
If you want the truth, come closer now,
I’ll make the silence kneel somehow.

[Chorus - massive repeat, wider harmonies, heavier guitars, thunderous double-kick, screaming accents]
These are my wizarding ways,
Cutting through the veil with a blinding blaze,
I bend the night, I break the cage,
I write my curse in a fiery rage.
These are my wizarding ways,
Hell in my heart and a storm in my gaze,
When the darkness calls, I never obey—
I become the spell, I become the fray.

[Bridge - stripped-down dread, clean bass drone, haunting choir, cinematic strings, tortured lead vocal]
And if I fall into the abyss tonight,
Let the blackened stars bear witness to the fight,
I was forged in a furnace of fear and flame,
Now the world will remember my name.
No holy light, no mercy left,
Just the pulse of a curse in a mortal chest,
I am the echo, the wound, the cry—
The last dark wizard before the sky.

[Breakdown - punishing low-end, syncopated chugs, aggressive shouts, choir hits, bass guitars slamming]
Bow down!
Feel the cold in your soul!
Bow down!
I’m the hand that takes control!
One bass!
Two bass!
Tear the temple down!
No escape!
No grace!
Wear the shadow like a crown!

[Guitar Solo - soaring, dramatic lead over pounding rhythm section, strings and choir surging]

[Final Chorus - fullest production, stacked vocals, choir triumphant and ominous, huge cinematic ending]
These are my wizarding ways,
Cutting through the veil with a blinding blaze,
I bend the night, I break the cage,
I write my curse in a fiery rage.
These are my wizarding ways,
Hell in my heart and a storm in my gaze,
When the darkness calls, I never obey—
I become the spell, I become the fray.

[Outro - fading choir, distant thunder, bass guitars descending, whispered vocals]
Ash on the altar, smoke in my veins,
My wizarding ways will outlive the pain,
When the final candle burns away,
I’ll still be there in the dark...
I’ll still be there... to
