Secret Struggle

symphonic metal, emotional, female lead singer, orchestra, raspy male voice

(Chorus)
Oh, to be embraced by the void, a sweet release
To drift to slumber, find my peace
No waking dawn, no bitter fray
Just quiet fading, night and day
Is it so wrong to seek this end?
A gentle peace I can transcend
Life’s a cruel master, sharp and cold
Death’s a warm haven, to behold

(Verse 2)
This bitter potion, amber hue
A smoky haze to see me through
Numbness creeping, slow and sure
Against the pain I can’t endure
The daily battle, worn and thin
Is there a reason to begin
Again each morning, face the sun?
When every victory feels undone?

(Bridge)
I wear a mask, a practiced smile
Laughter that covers for a while
A silent plea, unseen, unheard
Lost in the silence, every word
If they could see beyond the show
Would they still stay? Would they still know
The hollow echo, the fragile guise?
Or turn away with vacant eyes?

(Guitar Solo - Melancholy, building in intensity and despair)

(Verse 3)
No judgment waits in that dark sea
No lies, no hurt, no treachery
Just open arms, a welcome kind
Leaving the broken world behind
Death, not the villain, cold and grim
But a soft whisper on the whim
Of spirits weary, worn, and torn
Waiting for a different morn

(Outro)
Embrace the void…
A sweet release…
No waking… no more…
Into the night…
(Fade out with lingering guitar chords and atmospheric effects)

(Verse 1) The pillow’s damp, another night Drowned out by music, fading light A knot of anguish, tight and deep Secrets the broken spirit keeps The world outside, a harsh demand A weary struggle, close at hand I crave an exit, soft and still To end this agonizing thrill (Chorus) Oh, to be embraced by the void, a sweet release To drift to slumber, find my peace No waking dawn, no bitter fray Just quiet fading, night and day Is it so wrong to seek this end? A gentle peace I can transcend Life’s a cruel master, sharp and cold Death’s a warm haven, to behold (Verse 2) This bitter potion, amber hue A smoky haze to see me through Numbness creeping, slow and sure Against the pain I can’t endure The daily battle, worn and thin Is there a reason to begin Again each morning, face the sun?
