Madness Awakening
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro - whispered gang vocals over industrial drones, distant metallic hits, ominous cinematic strings]
Ooh, wah-ah-ah-ah!
Ooh, wah-ah-ah-ah!
Oh, oh! Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
[Verse 1 - low snarling vocals, detuned guitars, pounding kick, cold synth pulses]
I wake where the blackened thunder sleeps,
Under cracked neon and the concrete bleeds,
A rusted halo hangs above my head,
The city hums like the living dead.
Chains in the air, and the walls breathe smoke,
Every shadow laughs with a jagged choke,
I taste the iron in the midnight rain,
Hear the sirens sing my name again.
[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered chants, strings climbing, distorted bass swelling]
Something’s moving underneath my skin,
A broken god with a grin within,
The pulse gets louder, the dark gets near,
And all my demons start to cheer.
[Chorus - explosive gang vocals, massive distorted guitars, cinematic strings, hammering drums]
Madness awakening!
Burning through the veins tonight!
Madness awakening!
Feed the fear, ignite the fight!
No mercy in the static scream,
No rest inside this violent dream!
Madness awakening!
I am the storm they never tame!
[Verse 2 - harsher rap-metal cadence, industrial percussion, glitchy synth stabs, aggressive backing shouts]
I’ve seen the teeth behind the praying hands,
The poisoned kings and the shattered lands,
They sold their souls for a crown of rust,
Now their temples crumble into dust.
Hear the machines with their hollow prayer,
Spitting out lies in the poisoned air,
I was the wound they tried to hide,
Now I’m the blade they can’t divide.
[Pre-Chorus - building with choir-like pads, tom rolls, feedback swells]
Something’s breaking in the glass of my mind,
A chain reaction, feral and blind,
The red lights flicker, the fear comes fast,
And the fuse is lit at last.
[Chorus - bigger, more anthemic, doubled vocals, pounding double-kick, screaming lead guitar]
Madness awakening!
Burning through the veins tonight!
Madness awakening!
Feed the fear, ignite the fight!
No mercy in the static scream,
No rest inside this violent dream!
Madness awakening!
I am the storm they never tame!
[Bridge - stripped-down half-time groove, whispered vocals, eerie strings, sub-bass rumble]
If I fall, let the shadows rise,
If I bleed, let the black skies cry,
I was made from the fractured sound,
From the ash where the weak go down.
Now the silence has a sharpened face,
And it’s calling me to the final place,
I hear the whole world crack and bow,
This is the end and the here and now.
[Final Chorus - maximal intensity, layered screams, full orchestration, crushing riffs, industrial hits]
Madness awakening!
Burning through the veins tonight!
Madness awakening!
No saints survive this afterlife!
No mercy in the static scream,
No rest inside this violent dream!
Madness awakening!
I am the storm they never tame!
[Outro - fading feedback, eerie synths, distant gang echoes, cinematic strings dissolving]
Ooh, wah-ah-ah-ah!
Ooh, wah-ah-ah-ah!
Oh, oh! Oh, oh!
Oh, oh!
