Crystal Tide Depths

Execute, execute, execute The door

blows, the room goes

white Clear room one,

boots like thunder Smoke and shadow eat the light {crystalline synth pads

fading in, slow filter sweep} {wide stereo motion building} Return

fire from the dark room

The whole wall answers back

Two go down in the first hard

breath

And the stairwell cuts to black {breathy female lead,

airy high register} Dusk,

pull the light down Let the colors hold their line

Stars forward on my shoulder And the fallen on my mind

{intimate close mic, emotional control}

We run towards

danger When the whole street turns to dust I am

still here, standing for them

I am still

here after dusk {wide reverb harmonies sharp,

stereo adlibs clean} {peak melodic synth

line with

driving low end} Getting back to the FOB

After doing some E4 shit

Dust caked up on my armor

Laughing like we weren’t in it

Hangar lights on body armor

T-walls holding back the night

Bird line humming in the distance

Red lens cutting through the light

{breathy precise delivery clean} We were staging by the gear racks Checking

straps and killing time

Secret Squirrel meant classified Need-to-know and down the line

Maps were spread across a crate top

Call signs swallowed by the sound

Down range, you learn the difference

Between standing tall and standing ground {intimate close mic crisp} Dusk,

pull the light down Let the colors hold their line

Stars forward on my shoulder

And the fallen on my mind We run towards danger When the

whole

street turns to dust I am

still here, standing for them I am still here after dusk {stereo

adlibs clean, wide reverb

harmonies sharp} Dusk, pull the light down Let the room fall still

and deep

I have stood for men in silence

I have kept what I must keep

Stars forward, never backward That is how we crossed the dust We

run towards

danger We do what honor asks of us {breathy female lead airy}

Dusk, pull the light down Let

the colors hold their

line

Stars forward

on my shoulder And the fallen on my mind

We run towards danger When the whole street turns

to dust I am still here,

standing for them I am still here after dusk Dusk,

pull the light

down Let the night receive the cost I will carry what I

carried I will honor who we lost If the dark comes close

around me Let it find me standing up I am still here,

worn and breathing I am still here after dusk {peak melodic synth

line with driving

low end} Forward Operating

Base The

night is almost blue I let the evening hold the line But

it does not bury you I set your name down softly Like

a flag that never folds Ooh Stars forward after dusk {fading crystalline

layers, slow pan motion} {residual motion fading to

silence}
