[Intro: Slow, intricate acoustic guitar arpeggios. Cold, reverb-heavy atmosphere.] [Verse 1] The sun has failed to wake today A hollow grey upon the glass I watched the seasons drift away And felt the years begin to pass [Chorus] Through the gates of rusted iron Where the hemlock starts to bloom I am a ghost within the choir Singing silence in this room [Verse 2] The river knows my heavy name It carries grief toward the sea Every shadow looks the same And every shadow looks like me [Acoustic Guitar Solo: Dissonant and mournful] [Bridge] The light is fading from the hill The silver leaves begin to fall The air is cold and deathly still And darkness catches us all [Outro: Whispered vocals over a fading guitar melody.] [End: Final chord rings into silence.]
