[Intro] (Deep, low-frequency synth drone) (Sound of a single drop of water echoing in a cave) (Distant, low female humming: "Om-re-um, Om-re-as") [Verse 1] Deep beneath the roots of old Where the secrets turn to gold Hidden from the burning sun Since the world was first begun Moss and stone and silent breath Life that knows no fear of death [Chorus] Oh, the ancient well is deep Where the restless spirits sleep Drink the water, find the truth From the fountain of our youth Echoes rising from the ground Silence is the only sound [Instrumental Break] (Focus: Deep, resonant wooden flute melody) (Vocal choir singing low, harmonic intervals) (Slow, heavy rhythmic pulse like a heartbeat) [Verse 2] Centuries are gathered here Crystal cold and crystal clear Mirror for a weary soul To make the broken spirit whole What was lost is found again In the shadow of the glen [Chorus] Oh, the ancient well is deep Where the restless spirits sleep Drink the water, find the truth From the fountain of our youth Echoes rising from the ground Silence is the only sound [Instrumental Bridge] (Vocals shift to higher, haunting harmonies: "Sanctus, Profundus") (A dramatic swell of low strings) (Sound of echoing footsteps on stone) [Verse 3] Throw a wish into the black Wait for time to give it back In the circles on the face Of this holy, hidden place We are but a moment’s sigh While the water passes by [Chorus] Oh, the ancient well is deep Where the restless spirits sleep Drink the water, find the truth From the fountain of our youth Echoes rising from the ground Silence is the only sound [Outro] (Low chanting slowly fades into the drone) (Final water drop sound: *Drip*) (The drone lingers and slowly dissolves) [End]
