Oppression

A haunting gothic alternative metal song about an unwanted presence that slips into your life, takes hold of your mind, and refuses to leave—even when you think you’ve finally shut it out. This song was written specifically for Pitch Black, an album by Decimus Iulius, released October 21, 2026. ___________ Lyrics: Looked outside again You were standing at my door Calling out my name No clue what you’re looking for Thought you’d gone for good But I knew that voice I turned the lock and let you in Like I didn’t have a choice You stood there watching me Read me like you knew me too You didn’t say a word You never needed to But then it hit me And it was too late What have I done? What have I done? I opened the door and let the uninvited in What have I done? I should have run Now you’re here to stay and I can’t turn you off You crowded every thought That I could ever think I pushed you out of my head Thinking I could get away The room went silent though I began to sleep again Thought you had left But you only went quiet You became like a shadow Oppression over my every move You made no sound But you never left the room Where had you been? How did I not notice? What, what have I done? What have I done? I opened the door and let the uninvited in What have I done? I should have run I thought I’d shut you out But you were here all along Oh, I let you in What have I done? Oh, I let you in What have I done? You watch me when I sleep Watch me when I eat Watch me all the time You watch me You only exist You only exist You only exist To watch What have I done? What have I done? I opened the door and let the uninvited in What have I done? I should have run I closed the door again and you just watched And you just watched And you just watched ______________ #Oppression #DecimusIulius #GothicMetal #DarkAlternativeMetal #AlternativeMetal #PsychologicalHorror #DarkRock #OriginalMusic #NewMusic
