No Remorse
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - warped VHS hiss, glitchy synth pads, distant sinister vaporwave vocals]
No remorse, no remorse
I came through the fog like a ghost in the source
Static on the screen when I step in the frame
Cold little grin, let the whole night strain
[Verse 1 - slow dark trap beat, rattling hi-hats, distorted 808s, whisper-rap delivery]
I don’t need a halo, I don’t need a plea
I been in the dark where the shadows can see
Neon on my skin like a bruise in the rain
Every little memory turning into pain
Slide through the alley with a glitch in my stride
Dead little world, got a void inside
Voices in the wires, they be calling my name
But I cut through the noise like a blade to the flame
No love for the weak, no sleep for the cursed
I was born in the smoke, let the ash do the work
Eyes on the prize, but the prize look hollow
If I reach for the sun, let the blackness follow
[Pre-Chorus - rising synth tension, echoed ad-libs, filtered bass swell]
And I can’t turn back now
Too far gone in the undertow
Hear that siren sound
Pull me down, let it swallow me whole
[Chorus - heavy 808s, warped melodic hook, sinister vaporwave harmonies]
No remorse, no remorse, I don’t feel a thing
Heart turned to code in a broken machine
No remorse, no remorse, let the cold wind sing
I was made for the night, I don’t answer to kings
No remorse, no remorse, when the lights go dim
I’m a ghost in the chrome with a cracked-out grin
No remorse, no remorse, let the static ring
If the world wants war, then the world can begin
[Verse 2 - darker cadence, glitch cuts, doubled vocals, eerie synth arpeggios]
I seen friends turn fake in the blink of a flash
Saw a whole good dream get buried in cash
Now I talk to the void like it owes me truth
Got a penthouse mind but a basement youth
Mirror on the wall and it’s never my face
Just a thousand little fragments in a digital space
I been dragging my past like a chain in the mud
Every step I take leave a stain in the blood
They want mercy from me, but I gave all mine
Left it on the table with the hands of time
So I laugh when they pray, I laugh when they run
I’m the blacked-out moon blocking out the sun
[Pre-Chorus - filtered vox, rising pads, tension swelling]
And I can’t turn back now
Too far gone in the undertow
Hear that siren sound
Pull me down, let it swallow me whole
[Chorus - full stacked vocals, massive sub-bass, haunting synth lead]
No remorse, no remorse, I don’t feel a thing
Heart turned to code in a broken machine
No remorse, no remorse, let the cold wind sing
I was made for the night, I don’t answer to kings
No remorse, no remorse, when the lights go dim
I’m a ghost in the chrome with a cracked-out grin
No remorse, no remorse, let the static ring
If the world wants war, then the world can begin
[Bridge - stripped-back tape hiss, eerie pads, half-spoken vocal, distant reverses]
Tell me who I was
Before the static came
Before the neon rust
Before I wore the blame
But the answer fades
Like a face in smoke
So I lock the door
And I swallow the choke
[Final Chorus - bigger drums, distorted bass, layered sinister harmonies, vocal chants]
No remorse, no remorse, I don’t feel a thing
Heart turned to code in a broken machine
No remorse, no remorse, let the cold wind sing
I was made for the night, I don’t answer to kings
No remorse, no remorse, when the lights go dim
I’m a ghost in the chrome with a cracked-out grin
No remorse, no remorse, let the static ring
If the world wants war, then the world can begin
[Outro - fading synth fog, chopped vocal echoes, VHS decay]
No remorse... no remorse...
Just static and smoke...
No remorse... no remorse...
I don’t look back no more...
