[Intro] [Rhythmic foot stomp and hand clap on every beat, raw and tribal, building tension] Keeper Keeper come to reap her Keeper Keeper came to reap her [Ethereal vocals with heavy vibrato, floating over the stomps, distant reverb] You are in another’s dream Every breath, every pulse, every living spark Is the Dreamer’s whim made flesh in the dark Entropy wins. The darkness claims the war At the end of time the Dreamer stands alone Dreaming your now, your then, your nevermore [Verse 1] [Distorted electric guitar enters with tight syncopated riff, staccato synth melody weaving through] The Keeper guards the reverie Silent in the cracks between the stars Fear lives inside every heart that beats A quiet law carved into the scars [Verse 2] [Driving drum kit crashes in, rapid-fire vocal delivery locked to the groove] Speak its name or the Dreamer’s face All fades to gray when the truth cuts near And the forgetting begins with just a trace Your name first Then your voice Then the shape of your face In the minds of those who held you dear [Chorus] [Full band erupts, heavy progressive riff in 7/8 shifting hard into 4/4, layered harsh and clean vocals, massive low-end, rising choir pads] (Do not speak of the Dream Do not name the Dreamer Do not remember the Keeper Forget it now, forget it clean Or the maze will open And the thing will come) -AND DREAM- [Verse 3] [Distorted guitar in cascading odd-meter runs, polyrhythmic drums, uneasy synth undercurrent] Loved ones fall in quick succession Strange events sever every thread You wander a maze that shifts with every vision Corridor, forest, an endless bed Something with murderous intent Stays just beyond the edge of sight Exhaustion or the hunt will claim your breath Even the great ones. Even kings of light The Keeper works long after you are gone Unmaking every mark you tried to leave Time means nothing to that Minotaur That watches from the places minds refuse to see [Chorus] [Heavier double-time surge under the same riff, gang vocals stacking on the final lines] (Do not speak of the Dream Do not name the Dreamer Do not remember the Keeper Forget it now, forget it clean Or the maze will open And the thing will come) -AND DREAM- [Bridge] [Breakdown: half-time 6/8, dissonant chord stabs, whispered lead over detuned bass, rising panic in the arrangement] -It is the Minotaur- Hidden where no one dares to look In the deep shadows between breaths In the silence after the last book I have lost nearly everything To keep this warning in the air Do not believe me Do not pursue But keep the fear It is the only healthy prayer [Instrumental] [Extended progressive section: meters shifting 7/8 → 5/4 → free-time chaos, dual guitar counterpoint, cascading odd-time fills, synth lead screaming like a warning siren, building to absolute overload then sudden drop into near silence] [Final Chorus / Outro] [Quiet return of the heartbeat pulse and single clean guitar, then one last full-band explosion that collapses into pure void drone] (Do not speak of the Dream Do not name the Dreamer Do not remember the Keeper Forget it now… forget it clean…) [Rhythmic foot stomp and hand clap return, fading into the void] Keeper Keeper come to reap her Keeper Keeper came to reap her
