[Instrumental intro] [Dark Ambient] [Church Organ] [Slow Heavy Drums] [Verse 1] [Whisper] [Tense] To meet you is what I now dread, But worse is to not see your face. I’m startled by paths that we tread, In secrets, this mystical place. The shadows are roaming the street, Their life on the edge of the worlds, To church steps they lead my tired feet, Where hiding is all I afford. [Pre-Chorus] [Eerie] [Echo] Their hands on my shoulders they lay, Their names are all lost in the gloom. The evening is scaring me grey, Like trumpets of funeral doom. [Chorus] [Powerful] [Gothic Rock] [Crescendo] The sky is descending so low, It’s closing my temple and me! You’re close, and I feel your faint glow, But you are not here... You’re Beyond! There, where the light fades away, There, where no words left to say! [Verse 2] [Melodic] [Deep Voice] The border is transparent, thin, Like cold of the graveyard’s grey stone. The fate is so bleak from within, In ghost days I’m wandering alone. I wait at the shrine’s heavy door, Where whispers are turning to roar. In desert so cold and so dead, I looked in your abyss instead. [Bridge] [Organ Solo] [Dramatic] [Choral Backing] You’re there — past the veil of the mist! You’re there — where the wounds still exist! I’m here, on my knees by the gate, I’m praying for ending and fate! [Chorus] [Maximum Power] [Orchestral] The sky is descending so low, It’s closing my temple and me! You’re close, and I feel your faint glow, But you are not here... You’re Beyond! [Outro] [Fade Out] [Bell Tolls] [Whisper] You’re there... Not here... Only shadows... [End] [Fade to Silence]
