⚡ Instrumental Intro

(Twin guitars palm-muted on sixteenth notes, tight alternate picking.)

(Distorted bass doubling the main riff.)

(Drums: light double pedal, snare on 2 and 4, open crash.)

(Main riff: )

(Descending power chords → pause → restart with tritones.)

🩸 Verse I

(dry, almost spoken, urgent voice)

I feel the strings being pulled, I can no longer see my hands,

shadows digging inside, digging all the way to the floors.

Promises like chains, shiny but heavy,

I bend without realizing it, before their giant eyes.

🔥 Pre-Chorus

(guitars rising chromatically, drums building)

You push me, you squeeze me, you break my will,

every step I take is already where you want me to go.

⚔️ Chorus

(full, open vocals, backing vocals doubled in octaves)

Strings of Dominion!

You control my destiny!

You move me like a puppet,

until I fall.

Strings of Dominion!

You hold me prisoner!

And the more I break free, the more I feel

you'll come back for more.

⚡ Verse II

(more syncopated riff, more aggressive vocals)

You whisper like commands, they enter my veins,

you bend me like hot iron, shaped by your chains.

Every choice is a mirage, a trick of your mind,

you watch me as I crumble, and you smile complacently.

🔥 Pre-Chorus II

You push me, you hold me, you take away my gravity,

I no longer know if I walk or if you'll drag me.

⚔️ Chorus II

(more choruses, more thrust, open crashes)

Strings of Dominion!

You bend me like fate!

My every step is already written,

before I take it.

Strings of Dominion!

Your power is poison!

And the more I drink you, the more I become

just a reflection of you.

🕳️ Instrumental Bridge / Epic Section

(Clean minor arpeggiated lines, short delay.)

(Melodic solo → fast solo → thirds harmonies.)

(Drums go from half-time to furious double pedal.)

(Spoken vocals, dark, "narrative interlude" style)

You're not a god...

You're just my fear that's learned to speak.

And I...

I've forgotten how to scream.

⚡ Thrash Return

(Opening riff reprised, but faster and with chromatic variations.)

⚔️ Final Chorus

(More desperate vocals, wider choruses)

Strings of Dominion!

Now I break your destiny!

I cut the strings, I fall to the ground,

but at least I fall.

Strings of Dominion!

I will no longer be your warrior!

If I have to live in chains,

I prefer my emptiness.

🎤 Outro

(Guitars repeating the main riff, slowed down.)

(Final drum thump + guitar feedback.)
