When Heaven Is Silent

V6

TITLE: WHEN HEAVEN IS SILENT [INTRO — GREGORIAN MALE CHOIR ONLY, NO LEAD VOCAL, NO BEAT] Amen... O lumen... Audi nos... Amen... [SUDDEN TOTAL SILENCE] [LONELY FYELL — 5 SECONDS] [MALE ONLY — DEEP RAP] I prayed till my knees knew the floor, Asked for a sign, then asked for one more. No voice in the dark, no hand from above, Just an empty room when I needed Your love. They said, “Hold on, everything has a time.” But time feels cruel when you're losing your mind. So I stopped looking up, stopped asking why... Then something changed when I stopped watching the sky. [FEMALE ONLY — MELODIC, SOFT RISING] I waited for thunder, I waited for light. Maybe You were moving somewhere outside my sight. [FEMALE ONLY — CHORUS] [GREGORIAN MALE CHOIR BEHIND HER] Amen... O lumen... I called and heard no sound. Amen... O lumen... Still something turned around. No lightning came. No heavens opened wide. But something I had given up on arrived right on time. Amen... Amen... [FEMALE ONLY — HARD RAP, DISAPPOINTED, CONTROLLED ANGER] How many nights did I scream at the ceiling? “Are You even there? Do You know what I'm feeling?” I gave You my fear, I gave You my pain, And all You gave back was the sound of the rain. “Have faith,” they said. Yeah, easy for them. They weren't the ones asking again and again. I waited for mercy, I waited for proof, Till I got tired of begging a roof. Maybe You heard me. Maybe You knew. Maybe I hated the silence because I wanted answers from You. [BEAT CUTS] [MALE ONLY — LOW SPOKEN] Maybe the miracle wasn't late. [FEMALE ONLY — WHISPER] Maybe we just didn't recognize its face. [MALE ONLY] Maybe faith isn't getting an answer. [FEMALE ONLY] Maybe it's making it through the silence. [FINAL CHORUS — FEMALE LEAD] [MALE ANSWERS BETWEEN LINES] [GREGORIAN CHOIR + FYELL + HARD HIP-HOP BEAT] [FEMALE] Amen... O lumen... I still don't know what I believe. [MALE] But something kept carrying me. [FEMALE] No thunder. No sign. [MALE] No voice from the other side. [BOTH] Just one impossible thing arriving right on time. Amen... Amen... [OUTRO — FYELL ONLY] [FEMALE WHISPER] I thought no one was listening. [MALE CHOIR, DISTANT] Amen...
