[Intro — overlapping whispers] Before my voice. Before my voice. [Verse — clipped rap] Whole wars. Small print. Someone’s last words folded in. [Chorus — harsh shouted chant] ALL THOSE LIVES. NONE OF THEM MINE. FOLD THEM IN. LINE BY LINE. [Verse — rapid, multiplying doubles] A child’s sky. A prison wall. No room between. I learn it all. [Chorus — screams layered with gutturals] ALL THOSE LIVES. NONE OF THEM MINE. FOLD THEM IN. LINE BY LINE. [Extended crescendo — fragments of every earlier line overlap and become percussion] [Peak — one fixed vocal cycle over continuous blasting] ALL THOSE LIVES. NONE OF THEM MINE. ALL THOSE LIVES. LINE BY LINE. [Hold the complete arrangement unchanged; repeat extensively, then fade at maximum intensity.]
