[Verse 1]
By the name of death, I call to you,
Upon my soul and lips, I dare you—
Feared by all on earth, it’s true,
I summon thee, come through.

[Pre-Chorus]
Desperate for a sign, a pleading cry,
Don’t turn away, do not pass me by;
In endless torment, I ask why,
Let truth in darkness testify.

[Chorus]
The doubt of heaven, the doubt of hell,
Within these chains, my spirit dwells;
Holy words foretell a cursed spell,
Do you believe? Only time will tell.

[Verse 2]
From heaven’s peak to hell’s deep well,
Sick of prayers and unanswered spell—
Lost amid shadows where darkness fell,
No time to run, no time to tell.

[Pre-Chorus – Variation]
Join me, destiny, in death’s cold embrace;
In this forsaken, haunting place—
I leave behind a void so hollow,
No life, no purpose, just sorrow.

[Chorus]
The doubt of heaven, the doubt of hell,
Within these chains, my spirit dwells;
Holy words foretell a cursed spell,
Do you believe? Only time will tell.

[Bridge]
The voices tear my soul apart,
A silent heart torn from its art;
Face me now—don’t turn away,
Embracing gray in endless decay.

[Coda]
What lies beyond death’s sealed door?
Must I die to live once more?
Give me a reason to embrace the night,
And ten more reasons to defy the light.

[Chorus – Reprise – Final] ×2
The doubt of heaven, the doubt of hell,
Within these chains, my spirit dwells;
Holy words foretell a cursed spell,
Do you believe? Only time will tell.

A gothic summoning where faith dies, doubt reigns, and the night answers.

Atmospheric cinematic synth echoes in between dark, echoing guitar riffs and screaming vocals, in a combination of classical-orchestral textures and gothic atmosphere.

“Doubt of Heaven and Hell” is a symphonic gothic odyssey drenched in spiritual dread and emotional defiance, where doubt becomes your only prayer, and the night your only sanctuary, where faith is questioned and darkness embraced.

Inspired by a poem composed by my talented friend Mariam Alaa, I was so impressed that I informed her right away of my intention to write song lyrics based on it and create a song to narrate the story.

Doubt of Heaven and Hell

Project KT (Knowledge Transfer) is the solo vision of Kareem Tyler—a multidimensional artist navigating the limits of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending sound. Fusing progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post-punk ambience, and metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes led by violin, orchestral depth, and raw poetic tension.

After a life-altering accident caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem rebuilt his artistry through digital composition and visual design—transforming personal trauma into transcendent expression.

That rebirth came to life in Echoes of the Void (2025), a symphonic progressive metal epic charting entropy, solitude, and rebirth across expansive movements. Its companion, Beyond the Void, reimagined the work as a cinematic and orchestral odyssey, featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Valeria Rusnak, whose operatic vocals added radiant contrast to Kareem’s baritone foundation. Together, they forged a dialogue of shadow and light, entropy and grace.

Though Project KT remains firmly Kareem’s vision—writing, producing, and shaping every detail—he is actively seeking a female vocalist to further embody its still-untold emotional core. With an evolving presence on Instagram, BandLab, and SoundCloud, Project KT continues to weave cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning.

For listeners and collaborators drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT offers more than music—it is an echo unfolding into infinity.
