**Snow Above Munich** [Live Transition – distant applause slowly fades] [Instrumental Prelude – twelve-string guitar, soft Mellotron and a distant Hammond organ] [Verse 1] The roofs have lost their edges. The towers fade to white. A tram becomes a thread of gold, then slips into the night. Above the bells and chimneys, the winter has no name. It falls on every open door and every hidden pain. [Chorus] Snow above Munich, falling without sound, softening the distance between the lost and found. Snow above Munich, for one hour we can see: A city is not stone and streets, but what we choose to be. [Instrumental Passage – lyrical electric guitar over Mellotron and restrained drums] [Verse 2] The Isar holds the scattered lights and carries them downstream. Behind a thousand windows, someone guards a fragile dream. No stranger knows another’s load. No footprint tells us why. Still every face turns silver when the snow crosses the sky. [Extended Instrumental – Hammond organ enters, guitar melody slowly rises] [Bridge – intimate vocal] Nothing underneath is gone. The scars remain below. But even restless hearts can rest beneath a fall of snow. [Final Chorus – full band, emotional but controlled] Snow above Munich, do not ask us who we were. For one hour every voice is still and every outline blurs. Snow above Munich, when morning finds the street, may something of this quiet stay in everyone we meet. [Long Guitar Outro – the chorus melody returns without vocals] [Final Chord – held gently, fade-out] [Warm Audience Applause]
