{whispered vocal, sparse
haunting piano,
ambient pads swelling slowly} (ahhh...)
The hours fold into nothing
Breath held against the weight
Mirrors reflect only absence
A life left at the gate {building tension with low piano}
No savior waits in the wings
The silence answers back
{orchestral swell starting, guitar layers entering} This is the fracture
The turning of the bone
No one arrives to carry
The weight I call my own
I choose the fire
I choose the fall
Metanoia rising I become my own call {soaring clean vocals,
layered harmonies, crushing guitars entering} Regret carves rivers in skin
Time spent in quiet decay
The self I buried breathing
Still waiting for the day
{restrained guitars, piano returning} This is the fracture
The turning of the bone
No one arrives to carry
The weight I call my own
I choose the fire
I choose the fall
Metanoia rising I become my own call {massive layered vocals,
full band, orchestral peak} I am the ruin and the rise
The silence and the scream
No more waiting for permission
To live inside the dream {controlled screams for emphasis,
building intensity} Rise from the ashes of what could have been
Claim the fragments, let the old world end {explosive full arrangement,
guitars, drums, choir, screams}
The path remains long
But the first step is mine {ambient fade with piano and distant
choir}
