Haunted Stairway

[Intro] [Verse 1] Beneath the moon, the shadows writhe, A stairway cloaked in swallowed light. Two voices hum a dirge of dread, Where souls once fell, now whispers tread. The timpani throbs, the djembe cries, Echoes of those who dared to rise. [Chorus] Oh, cursed steps, your mouth agape, Devour the brave, twist fate’s escape. The guzheng wails through splintered wood, A symphony of the misunderstood. [Verse 2] The railing grips like skeletal hands, A pact unspoken, the dark demands. Dual voices grind in low despair, “Turn back, turn back—no mercy there.” The air is thick with broken vows, A djembe’s pulse—the lost avow. [Bridge] Guzheng strings snap, the night recoils, Timpani storms, the hour spoils. Two throats chant tales of endless fall, No savior hears the trapped ones’ call. [Verse 3] One step, two steps, the void replies, A third—the ground itself denies. The duo’s roar, a frenzied plea, “Why carve a path none else can see?” The stairs drink tears, the shadows swell, A requiem for the silent hell. [Verse 4] Now ash and dust coat every tread, The duo’s song mourns what’s left unsaid. The guzheng sighs, the drums retreat, But the stairway’s curse refuses sleep. [Outro]
