King of Dream's and Nightmares

Lyrics

[Intro - industrial drones, sinister choir swells, glitch-stuttered synth pulses, distant metallic impacts]
In the hush between the static and the scream,
I wear the crown no sunlight ever dreamed.
Neon shadows kneel, then crawl away,
As I carve my name in the ash of day.

[Verse 1 - low-tuned riffs, glitchy dark synths, half-spoken vocals, tense strings creeping underneath]
I was born where the sirens learn to pray,
In the blacked-out seams of a broken grey.
Every whisper in the wires knows my face,
Every heartbeat slips into my cage.
I feed the fear, I drink the spark,
I map the fault lines in the dark.
When the city bends beneath my stare,
Even ghosts hold still in the air.

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered choirs, tom-heavy build, distorted bass swelling]
Hear the machine gods moan,
Hear the broken angels call,
I am the pulse beneath your bones,
I am the shadow on the wall.

[Chorus - massive down-tuned guitars, full choir, anthemic screams, huge industrial drums]
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
Crowned in smoke and fractured light.
I rule the sleep inside your nightmares,
I haunt the dawn and own the night.
Bow to the fear that feeds my empire,
Kneel to the void that sings my name.
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
And every soul will know my reign.

[Verse 2 - harsher vocals, denser percussion, razor-edged synth lines, eerie string runs]
I stitched a throne from shattered chrome,
Built a palace out of undertones.
In the mirrors, I can see you run,
But the dark has already won.
Your safe little prayers decay to dust,
Your silver hope turns into rust.
I pull the thread, I twist the frame,
And reality forgets its name.

[Pre-Chorus - tighter rhythm, choir harmonies swelling, glitch fills, suspenseful pause]
Hear the machine gods moan,
Hear the broken angels call,
I am the pulse beneath your bones,
I am the shadow on the wall.

[Chorus - bigger, more aggressive, gang vocals, layered screams, thunderous kicks]
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
Crowned in smoke and fractured light.
I rule the sleep inside your nightmares,
I haunt the dawn and own the night.
Bow to the fear that feeds my empire,
Kneel to the void that sings my name.
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
And every soul will know my reign.

[Bridge - stripped-down glitch ambience, eerie choir fragments, whispered vocals, distant clean guitar harmonics]
If you wake, I’m in the static,
If you sleep, I’m in your breath.
I am the wound beneath the magic,
I am the velvet tongue of death.
Hold your hands up to the thunder,
Feel the cracks begin to show—
Every dream I pull you under,
Every nightmare lets me grow.

[Guitar Solo - chaotic glitchy lead, dissonant bends, synth doubles, industrial percussion accents]

[Final Chorus - full-force, extra harmonies, screaming backing vocals, massive industrial climax]
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
Crowned in smoke and fractured light.
I rule the sleep inside your nightmares,
I haunt the dawn and own the night.
Bow to the fear that feeds my empire,
Kneel to the void that sings my name.
I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares,
And every soul will know my reign.

[Outro - collapsing distortion, choir fading into static, ominous synth decay, whispered final line]
In the black between your waking and your fall,
I was there...
I am all.
