“AFTERMIDNIGHT”

COMPOSED BY: Luis A. Silverio E.

Intro – spoken, eerie whisper

You thought the night was over...

But darkness just changed skin...

Verse 1

There's a shimmer in the mirror, but it don’t reflect my face

Shadows crawl under my footsteps like they tryna take my place

The moon is weepin’ blood tonight, the wolves forgot to howl

A heartbeat in the attic, something wicked growls

Verse 2

Neon lights flicker on a street that don’t exist

Every breath I take, I feel death’s icy kiss

I dance with my reflection, but it’s leadin’ me astray

And the night don’t end at midnight—it just finds another way

Pre-Chorus

Creepin’ in your veins like a ghost through the walls

You try to scream, but your voice just stalls

This ain’t a dream, baby, don’t pretend

The horror starts after the end

Chorus

AFTERMIDNIGHT — when the dead moon glows

When your heartbeat stutters and the evil grows

It’s AFTERMIDNIGHT — you can’t run no more

It’s a twisted dance on a cursed dancefloor

No light, no mercy, just thrill in your fright

You survive if you dance AFTERMIDNIGHT

Verse 3

A whisper from the sewer sayin’ “Come down low…”

My feet move on their own — like the devil stole my soul

Every step is fire, but I can’t stop now

The rhythm of the cursed is the only law allowed

Bridge (spoken/sung)

Tick... Tock... the shadows knock...

Your mirror cracked, the hands won’t stop...

Your heartbeat’s caught in a backwards clock

You moonwalked straight into the dark

Pre-Chorus

You see the mask? It wears your smile

You hear the beat? It drives you wild

No sleepin’ now, you’re locked in tight

This nightmare loves to dance all night

Chorus

AFTERMIDNIGHT — when the world turns cold

When your fears start movin’ and refuse control

It’s AFTERMIDNIGHT — and your soul’s the prize

You better moonwalk 'fore you paralyze

Can’t fight, can’t pray — just groove in the night

Let the terror live AFTERMIDNIGHT

Breakdown / Dance Section

[Screams, layered whispers: “Don’t look back!”, “He’s behind you!”, rhythmic stomps and breath fx]

[Music Instructions: Full-on cinematic drop — distorted synth stabs, tribal drums, heartbeat bass, ghostly vocal chops.]

Dance... or die...

Dance... or die...

Dance... or die tonight...

Final Chorus (modulated key, explosive)

AFTERMIDNIGHT — the dead arise

You got no escape when you lock those eyes

It’s AFTERMIDNIGHT — thrill turns to sin

And the real horror starts from within

No dawn, no peace, just beat and bite

Welcome to the dark AFTERMIDNIGHT

Outro (whispered, fading)

You thought it was just a song…

But now you live where it belongs...
