[Style: dark powerful classic rock, female lead vocal, strong and penetrating, full chest voice, commanding and emotional, driving beat, big toms and punchy snare, heavy bass pulse, muscular electric guitars, dramatic organ textures, hypnotic but forceful, cinematic 70s rock energy, studio recording, no crowd noise, no live ambience] [Intro] [Driving floor tom rhythm, low bass pulse, dark electric guitar riff, organ swelling underneath] [Verse 1] [Strong vocal, confident and steady over the beat] You always watched the window Like something called your name Silver on the floorboards Fire with no flame I knew before you touched me You were never made for day You had one hand on forever One already slipping away [Verse 2] [Vocal grows fuller, drums pushing harder] I never feared your shadows I never feared the dark I heard the old world cracking Like ice around my heart Everybody warned me Love like this don’t keep But I saw heaven breathing In the silence underneath [Chorus] [Big lift, powerful sustained vocal, full band opens wide] So come on, my love I’m not afraid of where it leads The veil is thin tonight And I can hear it on the breeze If there’s a door beyond the dying I will not let you cross alone I was born with one foot in the starlight One foot trying to get home [Instrumental] [Heavy tom groove, dark guitar riff, organ pushing, no solo yet] [Verse 3] [Return to strong groove, vocal intense and forward] The garden turned to midnight The wind forgot its song We stood like two believers Where the lost and lovely belong No prayer could ever hold us No clock could make us stay The night pulled back its curtain And asked what we would pay [Chorus] [Harder attack, more urgency, bigger drums] So come on, my love I’m not afraid of where it leads The air is full of signs And the earth is full of dreams If there’s a river past the sorrow I will not leave you there alone I was born with one hand in your heartbeat One hand reaching for the unknown [Bridge] [Band drops to bass, toms, and organ, vocal close and intense at first, then rising] Let the houses keep their candles Let the faithful bar the door I have heard the threshing angels Pacing barefoot on the floor There is mercy in the falling There is music in release And I have loved you past all reason Past the reach of simple peace [Build] [Drums climb, guitars widen, vocal pushing harder, tension rising] [Final Chorus] [Explosive full band, huge vocal, sustained high notes, strongest delivery] So come on, my love I’m not afraid of what may be The night has opened wide Like a dark and shining sea If there’s a light beyond the silence I will meet you in its glow I was never following after I was always meant to go [Outro] [Driving beat continues under final lines, then band ends with a strong sustained chord] I walk beside the night now I wear the dusk like lace And if you cross that final distance You will know my face
