Murlocs Tale of Revenge

Lyrics

[Intro - ominous dark synth drones, distant cinematic choir, wet cavern reverb, whispered shamanic chants]
Grrl’kha… mrrr’kth…
From the brine and bone, we rise tonight
Moonlit eyes in the blackened tide
The reef remembers every scream
And the deep still dreams our names

[Verse 1 - low-tuned guitars, pounding toms, glitchy synth pulses, guttural verses]
We were the spawn of the swamp and foam
Cast out from the shells we called home
Little teeth in a world of blades
Laughing through the blood and the rain
They came with fire, steel, and shame
Took our hatchlings, took our names
Now the marshes hum with grief
And the tide won’t grant relief

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered strings, distorted bass, chants swelling]
Hear the drums in the muck below
Feel the salt in the wounds they sow
Ancient wrath in our throats awakens
Every broken hymn is a vow we’re taking

[Chorus - explosive nu metal hook, heavy guitars, massive choir, shouted gang vocals]
We are the murlocs of the abyss
Biting back with a blood-red kiss
From the deep, from the drowned, from the dark below
We remember every blow
Mrrgl! Rise with the storm and foam
No more fear, no more broken home
By fang and flame, by tide and bone
We will drag your kingdom down

[Verse 2 - darker groove, syncopated riffs, glitch edits, sinister pads, snarled vocals]
We hid in the reeds, we watched them pass
Iron giants with their polished wrath
Heroes came with their shining lies
But we saw the hunger in their eyes
They burned our nests, they poisoned streams
Shattered shells and shattered dreams
Now the witchlight paints our scars
And revenge is written in the stars

[Pre-Chorus - choir intensifies, percussion builds, shamanic call-and-response]
Mrrgll… mrrgll… hear the tide reply
Mrrgll… mrrgll… no more we die
Spit the curse, shake the marrow loose
The sea has chosen our retribution

[Chorus - bigger, more anthemic, layered screams and choir, crushing rhythm section]
We are the murlocs of the abyss
Biting back with a blood-red kiss
From the deep, from the drowned, from the dark below
We remember every blow
Mrrgl! Rise with the storm and foam
No more fear, no more broken home
By fang and flame, by tide and bone
We will drag your kingdom down

[Bridge - stripped-down tribal drums, cavernous choir, shamanic chants, eerie strings]
Grrr-rrl… the water speaks
In broken jaws and haunted reeds
Old gods stir beneath the mire
Feeding rage, feeding fire
We paint the moon with enemy ash
We sing our grief in a savage flash
One last wave, one final cry
Then the sea will swallow the sky

[Breakdown - ultra-heavy guitars, syncopated stop-start hits, distorted chants, monstrous gang vocals]
Mrrgl! Mrrgl!
Crash the gates!
Mrrgl! Mrrgl!
Drag them to the waves!
No mercy!
No peace!
Only teeth!
Only deep!
Grrr’kth!
SPLIT the steel!
Grrr’kth!
MAKE them kneel!
The swamp is hungry
The swamp is alive
And every last invader
Will not survive

[Final Chorus - full force, soaring choir, crushing bass, triumphant yet sinister]
We are the murlocs of the abyss
Biting back with a blood-red kiss
From the deep, from the drowned, from the dark below
We remember every blow
Mrrgl! Rise with the storm and foam
No more fear, no more broken home
By fang and flame, by tide and bone
We will drag your kingdom down

[Outro - fading synths, distant choir, water droplets, whispered chants]
Mrrgl… mrrgl…
The tide returns
Mrrgl… mrrgl…
And vengeance burns
From the dark, from the deep, from the endless sea
We are what they made us be...
