V5.5

[Verse 1]
(Deep male choir – solemn chanting)
Sub noctis velamine
Underneath the starry sky
We lay our burdens down to rest
Held within the darkness’ breast
The city sleeps, the fire is low
Only silent rivers flow

[Chorus]
(Vivian leads, choir as a dark harmonic bed)
Wrap me in the cloak of night
Hide me from the burning light
In the shadow, I will find
All the pieces of my mind
Nox sacra, keep me near
Far away from doubt and fear

[Instrumental Break]
(Focus: Low strings and soft drum pulse)
(Male choir chanting softly: "Nox... Nox... Protege...")
(Ethereal high notes from Vivian weaving above)

[Verse 2]
(Vivian – soft, mysterious)
There is wisdom in the dark
Every star a quiet spark
Whispers on the midnight air
Tell me I am not alone there
In the silence, in the deep
Ancient secrets start to speak

[Bridge]
(Music grows slightly, more choir layers)
(Spoken word – deep male voice)
"The night is not your enemy. It is the veil that lets your inner fire be seen. Trust the darkness... it carries the dawn inside."

[Verse 3]
(Choir and Vivian – rising, but still controlled)
When the morning starts to glow
I will rise from far below
Stronger for the silent hour
Rooted in a deeper power
One last breath beneath the sky
One last dream before I fly

[Outro]
(Drum pulse grows softer, then stops)
(Male choir fades on a low "Nox... Nox...")
(Vivian’s voice on a gentle, descending line)
(Final low string note with long reverb)
[End]

[Intro] (Soft, slow frame drum pulse: boom... boom...) (Deep, low strings holding a dark drone) (Male choir humming in a minor mode: "Hmm-no-ctis...") (Vivian’s distant vocalizing: "Oooh... ahh...")
