[Intro — whispered]
Wake naked... wake naked... (soft, repeated)
Blood halo, breath like broken glass
Cathedral wind, the cold swallows past
[Verse 1]
I wake with moonlight stitched to my skin
Sand bites my ankles, iron on the wind
Velociraptor teeth click in the ruins
Stegosaur plates drum—ancient, colliding
Leather and salt, the dawn tastes like rust
My spine remembers fires, my hands gather dust
I find a blade, the metal hums my name
Every step a prayer, every heartbeat a claim
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes march in columns of bone
Thunder drums where the sky has grown
Blood moon etches maps on my back
No chains left here, just the predator's track
[Chorus — hook]
Wake naked (whisper)
Blood flare
Kill or be taken
Claim the dark
[Verse 2]
Tyrant shadowed jaw, iced in the teeth of night
Saliva like tar, a smell that steals the light
Claws draw maps of grief across my palms
I learn their patterns, count the cadence of their calms
Feet sink in ash where the old cities sleep
I move like a secret the dead vowed to keep
A whisper—wake naked—folds into my veins
I answer in iron, I answer in chains
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes march in columns of bone
Thunder drums where the sky has grown
Blood moon etches maps on my back
No chains left here, just the predator's track
[Chorus — hook]
Wake naked (whisper)
Blood flare
Kill or be taken
Claim the dark
[Trap Verse — rapid, clipped]
Cold chrome, bone throne, I roam the broken stone
Snapback, raptor on my shoulder, chrome-tooth tone
Hiss, spit, quick wrist, blade flick—gut hit, split myth
808 pulse, heart vault, night counts the rips
Skull-signer, blood liner, I grind through the finer
Fossil fire, I wire the ruin, funerary diner
Boot prints in marrow, I borrow their sorrow
Slice syllables, quick-silver—tomorrow’s borrowed
[Bridge — revelation, slow]
Their footsteps are my memory; each fall frees a bone of mine
Every downed giant buries a ghost I used to call mine
This killing is a ritual—an unweaving of old chains
With each beast that bows, a piece of my past refrains
[Chorus — final, layered]
Wake naked (whisper becomes chant)
Blood flare
Kill or be taken
Claim the dark
Wake naked — echo, wake naked — claim the dark
[Outro]
Dawn tastes colder; the ruins breathe soft and thin
Naked no more—armored by what I kept within
Triumphant hush in the hollow of my chest
I walk among the bones; the night lays me to rest
[Production Notes — for performer/producer]
Tempo: slow trap, 62 BPM. 808 glide with heavy sub, sparse cathedral choir pads, reverb-drenched piano stabs. Hi-hat triplet fills in pre-chorus and trap verse. Chorus leaves space for whispered motif "wake naked" and layered ad-libs. Use pitch-shifted vocal doubles on the hook and long reverb tails for Gothic atmosphere.
