The Watchers Hex

(Intro)

(A solo, distorted synth-bassline plays a creepy, bouncing loop. A sharp church organ chord hits once. The sound of a heavy key turning a lock echoes through the stereo field.)

(Verse 1)

The headlights flash against my bedroom wall

I hear a shadow moving down the hall

I check the locks, I pull the heavy drapes

But in the dark, the geometric shapes

Are twisting up into a silhouette

A face of stone I never will forget

My phone is dead, the clock is running back

I feel the pressure of a phantom track

(Verse 2)

You’re in the static of the TV screen

The coldest whisper that I’ve ever seen

I take a step, you take a step behind

A hidden camera inside my mind

Are you a ghost or just a wicked game?

The wind outside is howling out my name

(Pre-Chorus)

(The drums drop out. A slow, rising synth siren builds. The vocals transition from a whisper to a gritty growl.)

The air turns to ice, the candles bleed blue

There is no escape from the shadow of you

The trap has been set, the circle is drawn

And nobody’s making it through to the dawn!

(Chorus)

(The full band explodes. Massive synth-funk groove with screaming brass hits.)

'Cause you cast a hex and you’re locking the door!

I feel your eyes tracking me through the floor!

Is it a trick or a terrifying scene?

The cruelest nightmare that has ever been!

You got me frozen in the midnight cue

Yeah, I’m alive but I belong to you!

(Verse 3)

The floorboards warp beneath my heavy boots

The walls are growing overgrown roots

I try to run but I am stuck in place

While time dissolves into an empty space

You’re watching every single breath I take

And laughing louder every time I shake

(Verse 4)

The mirror cracks from corner up to top

The heartbeat rhythm isn't gonna stop

A web of smoke is wrapping round my wrists

The logic of the room completely twists

I am the puppet and you pull the thread

A living terror inside my head

(Bridge)

(The funk groove stops. A slow, heavy, dramatic blues beat takes over. An overdriven electric guitar wails in a minor key as the vocals deliver a wild, theatrical performance.)

Look at me! Look at what you’ve done!

You think you’re hidden, but the game is won!

You wove the spell, you drew the line

But now your soul is tied to mine!

(Giant vocal wail holding a gritty, distorted high note)

(Chorus)

(The high-energy synth-funk groove slams back in at maximum volume.)

'Cause you cast a hex and you’re locking the door!

I feel your eyes tracking me through the floor!

Is it a trick or a terrifying scene?

The cruelest nightmare that has ever been!

You got me frozen in the midnight cue

Yeah, I’m alive but I belong to you!

(Outro)

(The music begins to strip down, leaving just the heavy synth-bass loop and a ticking hi-hat.)

Always watching...

Under your hex...

Who's next?

(A sudden, sharp synth blast ends the song instantly on an unresolved chord.)
