The Fall of Night

[Intro] [Dark ambient, distant female humming] [Slow heartbeat] [Verse 1] [Soft female vocal] Do you hear me, beloved? Can you hear me still? They've bound my hands in heaven, They've bent me to their will. There's blood upon the marble. There's blood beneath my feet. I promised I would find you. I promised— [Whispered] Wait for me. [Verse 2] [Low cinematic drone builds] Hands upon my body, voices over mine. They carve their laws upon me, one wound at a time. Let them spend their power. Let them call me bound. If you are somewhere waiting— I will find you. I will find you. [Pre-Chorus] [Heartbeat grows louder] They call me wicked. They call me wrong. They call me monster for mourning too long. You took him from me. You watched me break. And now you fear the thing your cruelty made. [Chorus] [Powerful clean female vocal] So cast me down. Cast me from your holy light. Strip the heavens from my hands. Tear my name out of your sky. I have nothing left to lose. Nothing left for you to take. If Night must fall from heaven— Then let Olympus shake. [Break] [Music drops] [Whispered female vocal] Vasileios... [Silence] Where are you? [The Fall] [Deep descending drone, rushing wind] No hand beneath me. No god above. No answer from the only soul I ever dared to love. The heavens grow smaller. The darkness opens wide. Still I reach for you. Still I— [Voice breaking] Vasileios! [Heavy Build] [Industrial percussion enters] Falling. Falling. Still falling. Let the distance swallow heaven. Let their precious daylight die. If they wanted me beneath them— [Female guttural] THEN I WILL RULE WHAT LIES BELOW. [Breakdown] [Heavy industrial metal] CAST ME DOWN! BURY ME DEEP! CHAIN UP THE SIN YOU COULDN'T KEEP! SEAL MY BLOOD! BLACKEN MY NAME! YOU BUILT THE PRISON— I'LL GIVE IT A FLAME! [Final Build] [Layered clean vocal and guttural] I will remember every face. I will remember every hand. I will remember who stood silent. I will remember who condemned. And if eternity must have me— Then eternity will learn: You did not bury Night. [Sudden silence] [Whispered] You planted her. [Impact] [Massive single percussion hit] [Deep rumbling distortion] [Outro] [Weak heartbeat] [Soft female vocal] Beloved king... go to sleep. I will guard you from all harm. [Whispered] Even from here. [End]
