[INTRO]
[Music: Soft piano chords. Slow orchestral introduction. Eletric Bass riff]
[VERSE 1]
[Music: Dramatic clean vocal. Only piano, light strings, and bass. Alternating dialogue]
[Vocal 1 Female]
The key was in the parchment, the time in millennia counted,
[Vocal 2 Male]
Um livro encadernado em pele que o mundo abandonou.
[Vocal 1 Female]
I shouldn't look, but the paper pulls me through,
[Vocal 2 Male]
A voz sussurra na página, o que a razão não pode crer.
[Vocal 1 Female]
I fear the words I'm reading, the price I must now pay,
[Vocal 2 Male]
Mas o tédio da sua vida é o portal da minha lei.
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Music: Orchestra swells. Drums enter with slow hits]
[Vocal 1 Female]
What is beyond this world, this cage of time and light,
[Vocal 2 Male]
Me prometa o universo se ousar responder.
[Vocal 1 Female]
Give me the power! Free me from this hell!
[Vocal 2 Male]
O preço é a sua forma, a sua paz e luz!
[CHORUS]
[Music:Climax. Distorted guitar enters forcefully. Both vocals sing simultaneously, with Latin choirs in the background]
[Vocal 1 + Vocal 2 SIMULTANEOUS]
SCRIPTURA TENEBRAE! CALL TO THE VOID WITHOUT NAME! "CHAMADO AO ABISMO SEM NOME!"
I READ THE BOOK OF DEATH, MY SOUL IS CONSUMED BY FAME!
THE DOOR IS OPENED! CTHULHU'S TRUTH IS AT MY SIDE! "A VERDADE ESTÁ AQUI! O FEITIÇO FOI LIBERADO!"
[VERSE 2]
[Returns to the softer dynamic, but now more distorted and melancholic. Alternating dialogue.]
[Vocal 1 Female]
My mind is now dissolving, the shapes I used to know,
[Vocal 2 Male]
O preço é a sanidade, a forma que eu vivi.
[Vocal 1 Female]
The shadows dance upon the wall, of beings with no light,
[Vocal 2 Male]
E o vazio que me preenche, é a mão que me conduz.
[Vocal 1 Female]
I welcome the oblivion, the fear has gone away,
[Vocal 2 Male]
O seu nome e sua história, já pertencem à areia.
[CHORUS]
[Music:Climax. Distorted guitar enters forcefully. Both vocals sing simultaneously, with Latin choirs in the background]
[Vocal 1 + Vocal 2 SIMULTANEOUS]
SCRIPTURA TENEBRAE! CALL TO THE VOID WITHOUT NAME! "CHAMADO AO ABISMO SEM NOME!"

[BRIDGE]
[Music:Everything calms down. Only church organ and bass. The Latin Choir low male is prominent]
[Vocal 2] Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! O sonho nunca morre... Você é o novo portal! O seu fim é o nosso início. O seu fim é o nosso início!
[OUTRO]
[The guitar enters with a final distorted chord and the orchestra delivers a final, massive hit. Everything disappears into a string delay]
