Lyrics

Intro (chant + strings creeping in)

🎤
“Shadows rise, the night’s alive,
Outcasts thrive, we’re here to survive.
Snap twice, let the echoes roar,
This is our world — Nevermore!”

(crowd chant: “Nevermore! Nevermore!” with stomps + snaps)

⸻

Verse 1 (rap flow with punk edge)

Vamps in the corner with a thirst for the thrill,
Sirens singin’ low, got the dancefloor chilled.
Werewolves howlin’, claws to the beat,
Gorgons in shades so the gaze won’t meet.

Dark lace twirls, combat boots stomp,
Bassline shakes, let the chandeliers drop.
We don’t blend in, we rewrite the law,
Tonight the monsters own the ball.

⸻

Pre-Chorus (punk/goth chant)

Raise your hands, let the shadows call,
Every misfit’s welcome at the Nevermore Ball.
Glitter in the graveyard, fire in our veins,
We dance in the dark, unchained, unashamed!

⸻

Chorus (anthemic + danceable)

Outcasts on the floor, we don’t hide no more,
We break the chains and we kick the door.
Snap to the rhythm, stomp ‘til it shakes,
This is our night — no fakes, no mistakes.

⸻

Verse 2 (dark rap + violin stabs)

Black ink skies and a gothic moon glow,
Violin cuts through the bassline flow.
Chains swing heavy, eyes burn red,
We dance with the living, and honor the dead.

Wings unfold, shadows crash down,
Punk kids roar with a hip-hop sound.
We are the night, hear the ballroom scream,
The freaks, the fiends — we rule the scene.

⸻

Instrumental Bridge (violin/cello solo)

(Driving strings solo over a pounding hip-hop beat)
Cello growls low, violin cuts sharp — dramatic ballroom energy, keeps it danceable. Lights flicker like strobe, dancers freeze + snap in sync.)

⸻

Chant Breakdown (crowd call & response)

🎤 “Snap… snap… who’s alive tonight?”
Crowd: “Outcasts, outcasts — we ignite!”
🎤 “Clap… clap… Nevermore we stand!”
Crowd: “Dark hearts, misfits, hand in hand!”

⸻

Final Chorus (layered + strings soaring)

Outcasts on the floor, we don’t hide no more,
We break the chains and we kick the door.
Snap to the rhythm, stomp ‘til it shakes,
This is our night — no fakes, no mistakes.

⸻

Outro (violin fades + whispered chant)

“Nevermore… Nevermore…”
(strings fade into silence, last snap echoes)
