Beneath a sky of blistered flame, Where shadows writhe and shriek his name, A visage looms, a twisted sneer, The crimson herald of all fear. Scarlet rivers carve his cheek, Each drop a dirge for the havoc he wreaks. Horns spiral like cursed fate, Of those who dared to breach Hell’s gate. Amber eyes, molten and raw, Seethe with truths no mortal saw. Fangs like tombstones, cruel, obscene, Part the air with a grin unclean. Yet still, his grin—so wide, so vile, Hides riddles wrapped in venomous guile. A promise of ruin, a dance of dread, A hymn for the void, sung to the dead. Through echoes thick with cursed tread, His laughter wakes the long-damned dead. For he is chaos, raw, unchained, And in his grin, the void remains.

Beneath a sky of blistered flame, Where shadows writhe and shriek his name, A visage looms, a twisted sneer, The crimson herald of all fear. Scarlet rivers carve his cheek, Each drop a dirge for havoc he wreaks. Horns spiral like cursed fate, Marking those who breach Hell’s gate. In his grin, the void remains, A hymn for the damned, a world in flames. Amber eyes that seethe and raw, Hold truths no mortal ever saw. Fangs like tombstones, cruel, obscene, Part the air with a grin unclean. Yet still that grin—so wide, so vile, Hides riddles steeped in venomous guile. A promise of ruin, a dance of dread, A hymn for the void, sung to the dead. Through echoes thick with cursed tread, His laughter wakes the long-damned dead. In his grin, the void remains, A hymn for the damned, a world in flames. Amber eyes that seethe and raw, Hold truths no mortal ever saw. For he is chaos, raw, unchained, And in his grin, the void remains. His laughter fades, yet still it calls, Through endless dark, where silence falls.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Ominous and atmospheric, with a slow build of strings and eerie choral harmonies.] Beneath a sky of blistered flame, Where shadows writhe and shriek his name, A visage looms, a twisted sneer, The crimson herald of all fear. [Verse 1: Start with a low, haunting melody; sparse instrumentation building tension.] Scarlet rivers carve his cheek, Each drop a dirge for havoc he wreaks. Horns spiral like cursed fate, Marking those who breach Hell’s gate. [Chorus: Explosive and powerful, layered with guitars and drums. An anthemic refrain.] In his grin, the void remains, A hymn for the damned, a world in flames. Amber eyes that seethe and raw, Hold truths no mortal ever saw. [Verse 2: Grow darker and more intense; bring in heavier percussion and distorted riffs.] Fangs like tombstones, cruel, obscene, Part the air with a grin unclean. Yet still that grin—so wide, so vile, Hides riddles steeped in venomous guile. [Bridge: A dynamic shift; eerie whispers and dissonant strings lead into a climactic build.] A promise of ruin, a dance of dread, A hymn for the void, sung to the dead. Through echoes thick with cursed tread, His laughter wakes the long-damned dead. [Chorus Reprise: More intense than before, with choral backing for added depth.] In his grin, the void remains, A hymn for the damned, a world in flames. Amber eyes that seethe and raw, Hold truths no mortal ever saw. [Outro: A soft, haunting fade with echoing vocals and sparse piano.] For he is chaos, raw, unchained, And in his grin, the void remains. His laughter fades, yet still it calls, Through endless dark, where silence falls.
