On the inside

[Intro] (0:00–0:15)
(Deep bell toll, slowed 808 bass. Whisper in Ancient Greek: «Κύριε ἐλέησον» – «Lord, have mercy».)

[Verse 1] (0:15–0:50)
I step into the rift where time flows upside down
Every stone here is soaked in sin's renown
On the walls – faces weeping with tar
In my hand – a blade, in my chest – a scar of calm
Shadows echo each other with wordless cries
I'm their worst nightmare that materializes
The veil falls from my eyes, baring the core
The mirror world – my home from now and evermore

[Pre-Chorus] (0:50–1:05)
(Drum machine speeds up, hi‑hats stutter and crack.)
The creatures' howl – like a cannonade's roar
They rush at me from ambush, hungry for war
With my soles I crush pentagrams on the floor
No smoke or scales can save them anymore

[Chorus] (1:05–1:35)
(Explosion of church choir – male voices in unison, cathedral reverb, over a hard drill beat.)

CHOIR (Old Slavonic‑style chanting):
Ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah!
SOLO (rap):
Cross in hand – I shatter the gate!
CHOIR:
Ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah!
SOLO:
Flame of faith burns every leaf of fate!
CHOIR:
Ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah!
SOLO:
The reverse side is my altar, and I am the judge here!
CHOIR (final chord):
Oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh‑oh!

[Verse 2] (1:35–2:10)
They unleash their claws from the abyss
But I know where their dreams tear and miss
Each strike of mine – like a psalm in the hush
I break their spines against this wall's crush
No stars up here – only dead ether's breath
Yet I hear a voice – it leads me through death
To a place with no lies, no sorrow or dread
Will I close this portal – or will I be dead?

[Bridge] (2:10–2:40)
(Beat fades, only bass and choir echo remain.)
Beyond the mirrors – my final stride
If I fall – let my banner burn with pride
But I won't leave as long as in this gloom
At least one shadow crawls across the room
My exhale – like "Amen", my gaze – like a steel blade
The reverse side will remember this raid

[Outro] (2:40–3:00)
(Choir returns but fades into whispers.)
CHOIR (softly, holding one note):
Ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah…
SOLO (whisper):
My name is nothing. My deed is light.
CHOIR (dissolving into noise):
Ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah‑ah…
