my filthy bloodline

Lyrics

[Intro - catwalk lead acoustic guitar phrase outlining Locrian mode (E-F-G-A-Bb-C-D), eerie reverb, slow chromatic descent]

[Build - slamming bass drums crash in, grinding syncopated dual acoustic guitars with dark Locrian riffs, shakers and dashiki percussion rumble low]

[Verse 1 - fade to barking angry vocals, syncopated dual acoustics scorch chromatic runs over Locrian riff, percussive grind with alternative shakers and toms]
Father's fists like thunder, cracked my fragile frame
Mother's venom whispers, poisoned every vein
Belts and broken bottles, scars that never heal
Locked in basement shadows, learning how to feel the steel

[Pre-Chorus - tension builds with layered barking growls, chromatic guitar runs intensify, shakers accelerate to 64th-note tremolo]
You carved your hate inside me, now it festers deep
The beast you birthed is rising, no more tears to weep

[Chorus - lush wide-panned stereo imaging, dark 64th-note beat arpeggios shimmer, slamming bass drums and long-ish toms with shakers/dashikis round out the fury]
Revenge is the fire, burning through your lies!
I'll drag you to the abyss, watch the terror in your eyes!
Your empire of torment crumbles in my rage!
Parents of my prison, now you're locked in my cage!

[Verse 2 - heavier grind resumes, barking vocals double-tracked with distortion edge, dual acoustics syncopate viciously over Locrian descent, percussive chaos swells]
Holy words you preached me, hypocrite's cruel jest
Starved my soul and body, left me less than blessed
Now I wield the hammer, echoes of your screams
Payback in the darkness, shattering your dreams

[Pre-Chorus - frantic chromatic runs scorch higher, barking vocals harmonize in dissonance, shakers frenzy into 64th-note storm]
The chains you forged are breaking, blood will paint the floor
Your legacy of evil, I settle every score

[Chorus - even lusher panning, 64th arpeggios cascade darkly, bass drums pound relentlessly with rounded toms/shakers/dashikis exploding]
Revenge is the fire, burning through your lies!
I'll drag you to the abyss, watch the terror in your eyes!
Your empire of torment crumbles in my rage!
Parents of my prison, now you're locked in my cage!

[Bridge - stripped to grinding Locrian riff and sparse shakers, vocals shift to guttural howls building to frenzy]
No mercy for the monsters who raised me in hell...
Your screams will be my symphony... eternal knell...

[Outro Chorus - full doom crush returns, wide stereo collapse with fading 64th arpeggios, barking vocals echo into reverb abyss, percussion fades to grinding halt]
Revenge... burning... lies... abyss... rage... cage... (fading growls)
