THE LEGEND NEVER DIES

*The Legend Never Drowns* *[Intro]* (No beat... cinematic ambience) *SFX:* Thunder... heavy rain... lake water... distant crows... slow heavy footsteps... branches snapping... deep breathing... *Whispers (stereo):* "Hush..." "Run..." "Hide..." "Too late..." "I'm here..." (Heartbeat slowly begins.) --- *[Verse 1]* Moonlight dancing on the water, something's watching from the shore, Every legend has a warning, still they open up the door. Crystal Lake is cold as death, every trail begins to fade, Somebody's moving through the forest, something ancient never changed. Hockey mask without emotion, silent vengeance in his eyes, Every step is slow and patient, every victim always tries. Trees are whispering your name while the wind begins to howl, Better pray the sun keeps rising... it won't save you now. --- *[Pre-Chorus]* Don't stop... Don't breathe... Don't stumble... Don't scream... Every branch that breaks... Every shadow moves... He's getting closer... --- *[Chorus]* Run... Keep running... The night belongs to him. Hide... Keep hiding... The woods grow dark again. Every heartbeat echoes louder, Every prayer is wearing thin. The legend never drowns... The nightmare starts again. --- *[Verse 2]* Cabins shaking in the darkness, windows glowing through the rain, Everybody thinks they're leaving... Nobody leaves the same. Steel reflects beneath the lightning, Silence louder than a scream. Every nightmare starts as nothing... Until it isn't just a dream. Lake water covers every footprint, Fog rolls heavy through the trees. You can feel the air get colder, Like the forest starts to breathe. --- *[Breakdown]* *SFX:* Heavy breathing... Chains rattling... Branches snapping... Axe scraping across stone... Thunder... Heartbeat... *Whispers* "Hush..." "Run..." "Hide..." "I'm here..." "No escape..." (Silence...) *BOOM* --- *[Verse 3]* Every summer tells the story, Every fire keeps it alive. Teenagers become the legends That nobody survives. He's the shadow past your flashlight, He's the movement in the trees. He's the reason people whisper When the midnight carries breeze. Storm clouds gather over water, Every echo sounds the same. One more soul has crossed the shoreline... Never leaving where they came. --- *[Bridge]* Listen... Hear the rain... Hear the footsteps... Hear the forest... The lake remembers every face... The woods remember every name... Some monsters are created... Some become legends... --- *[Final Chorus]* Run... Keep running... Your time is running thin. Hide... Keep hiding... He'll always find you in the end. Every heartbeat turns to panic, Every road comes to an end. The legend never drowns... He rises once again. Run... Run... Run... The woods belong to him. --- *[Outro]* *SFX:* Heavy rain... Slow footsteps fading... Lake water... Thunder... Crows... Deep breathing... *Whispers* "Hush..." "Run..." "Hide..." (Heartbeat slows...) Silence...
