04. Through the Nebula

[Intro: weighty bass pulse, echoing guitar, distant cosmic hum] [Verse: restrained, low firm vocal] The Sun has faded at our back, The final beacon lost its glow. A nebula is rising like a wall, Its blinding light is all we know. [Pre-Chorus: building drums, guitar swells] The light is thicker all around, The hull is ringing, sound on sound. [Chorus: anthemic, wide guitars] Through the nebula we fly, Past the fires burning bright. Through the nebula we fly, To where new worlds are born in light. [Verse: alarm-like synth pulses, heavier drums] A siren tears the quiet down, The cabin flashing red and low. I reach and grab my falling friend, His strap is tight, I won't let go. Half the lights have died around, But we hold on and hold our ground. [Chorus] Through the nebula we fly, Past the fires burning bright. Through the nebula we fly, To where new worlds are born in light. [Guitar Solo: heavy, distorted, rising tension] [Bridge: sudden drop, clean echoing guitar, low intimate vocal] Then suddenly a break of light, The quiet stars, an open sea. The nebula has set us free, And we can breathe, and we can see. [Final Chorus: biggest, open and warm] Through the nebula we passed, Left the fires burning bright. Through the nebula we passed, To where new worlds are born in light. [Outro: echoing guitar, low vocal] And even there, so far from home, We grew much closer than before. [End]
