[Intro: amp hum, floor toms rumble, low contralto drone]

[Tempo: stomping 138 BPM; fuzz guitars ignite]
[Verse 1]

I hear the first seal whisper in the crack of dawn,

White flare on the horizon, a quiet bow drawn.

I taste the iron promise, conquest in the wire,

But I bend the voltage, turn fear into fire.
[Pre-Chorus]

Count the fractures—one, two, three, four—

Every lock I break becomes another door.
[Chorus]

Cosmic cataclysm, break the cage,

I won't kneel while the heavens rage.

Let the sky split, let the systems drown,

From the roaring void, I claim my crown.
[Tag: gang shouts]

Hey! Hey!
[Verse 2]

Second seal shivers, red dust in my lungs,

War drums in the streetlight, copper on my tongue.

Third seal tips the balance, black scales swing low,

Hunger carves a rhythm only rebels know.
[Pre-Chorus]

Count the fractures—one, two, three, four—

Every lock I break becomes another door.
[Chorus]

Cosmic cataclysm, break the cage,

I won't kneel while the heavens rage.

Let the sky split, let the systems drown,

From the roaring void, I claim my crown.
[Post-Chorus]

Ride, ride, ride—four shadows tail the sun;

I ride the feedback forward till the night comes undone.
[Instrumental: overdriven guitar solo; wah snarls, amp sputter]
[Verse 3]

Fifth seal opens—echoes humming under stone,

Voices in the faultline say we are not alone.

Sixth seal cracks the skyline, stars like shattered chrome,

I stand in the tremor, call the quake my home.
[Pre-Chorus: variant]

Count the fractures—five, six—hear them sing;

Seven beats of silence load the thunder's swing.
[Bridge]

Seven seals, seven chords, turn the cosmic key;

Drop the needle on the ending, set the living free.

No crown above me, no brand below,

I am the strike that teaches steel to glow.
[Breakdown: half-time stomp; low chest belt]

Let the old world splinter, let the idols rust,

I build a new religion out of grit and trust.
[Chorus: bigger, with gang shouts]

Cosmic cataclysm, break the cage,

I won't kneel while the heavens rage.

Let the sky split, let the systems drown,

From the roaring void, I claim my crown.
[Outro: feedback swells, toms roll; contralto hums a low fifth]

In the silence after thunder, hear the future drum;

Four horses fade to black—and still I do not run.

Cosmic Cataclysm, from The Four Horsemen series, wields apocalyptic scripture like a rusted tremolo bar, turning the opening of the Seals into a garage-forged manifesto. The lyrics count fractures like riff markers—one through seven—recasting conquest, war, famine, and death as raw forces the narrator refuses to fear. Instead of cowering beneath the heavens, she bends voltage into fire and rides the feedback forward, declaring the void a foundry and the quake her home. The imagery is vivid and elemental: stars as shattered chrome, balances tipping under black scales, and seven chords turning the cosmic key.

The emotional arc moves from witness to wielder—defiance crystallizing into authorship as the contralto voice claims a crown in the roar of collapse. Philosophically, the track frames endings as liberations, locks as doors, and catastrophe as a creative principle. It’s proto metal grit with a rebel heart, where the Four Horsemen don’t annihilate the self so much as strip it to steel; the singer doesn’t survive the cataclysm—she conducts it.
