V5.5

[Intro] (Slow, rising orchestral swell) (Deep, resonant timpani roll in the distance) (Soaring vocalizing: "Ah-ya-ma, ah-ya-ma") [Verse 1] The coast is fading like a dream In the wake of a silver beam The salt is heavy in the air But there’s a calling everywhere To leave the harbor, leave the light And sail into the velvet night [Chorus] Beyond the horizon, where the sea meets sky Where the old worlds end and the new ones lie Open the sails to the breath of the blue I’m finding the way that leads back to you Searching for the shore, evermore, evermore [Instrumental Break] (Focus: Powerful, sweeping string melody) (Vocal choir singing in large, open chords) (Steady, rhythmic pulse building like a heartbeat) [Verse 2] No map can show the path we take Only the silver line we make Through the canyons of the deep Where the ancient leviathans sleep The stars are guiding, one by one Until the journey is finally done [Chorus] Beyond the horizon, where the sea meets sky Where the old worlds end and the new ones lie Open the sails to the breath of the blue I’m finding the way that leads back to you Searching for the shore, evermore, evermore [Bridge] (Music intensifies, more brass-like synth layers) (Vocals become a powerful, rhythmic chant) Further than the sun (Further than the sun) Higher than the moon (Higher than the moon) The heart is a compass (The heart is a compass) Coming home soon... coming home soon! [Verse 3] And when the morning starts to break Over the glass of a distant lake The land will rise to meet the prow The 'someday' has become the 'now' Every wave was worth the price To reach the gates of paradise [Chorus] Beyond the horizon, where the sea meets sky Where the old worlds end and the new ones lie Open the sails to the breath of the blue I’m finding the way that leads back to you Searching for the shore, evermore, evermore [Outro] (Orchestral swell reaching a peak and then fading) (Vocal harmonies repeating: "Evermore... evermore...") (Sound of the wind and a distant foghorn) (Fading into a single, deep bass note) [End]
