Celtic Lullaby
[Verse 1] (Soft, airy vocals, deep tagelharpa drone, faint flute in distance) Whoaaaahhh, tide pulls whispers through the air, Oooohhhh, fading footprints lead nowhere. Salt and stars paint silver lines, Oceans call but leave no signs. [Verse 2] (Nyckelharpa melody builds, frame drum heartbeat enters, breathy backing vocals) Whoaaaahhh, shadows stretch where the sky turns cold, Oooohhhh, maps can’t mark where the waves unfold. Storms may rise, the mast may break, But still the water calls my name. [Pre-Chorus] (Harmonies swell, layered ghostly voices, flute echoes softly) Ohhh, ohhh, voices hum where the mist runs deep, Whoaaahhh, whoaaahhh, do they wake or do they sleep? [Chorus] (Stronger vocal layering, lyre plucks rhythmic, drum deepens) Oooohhhh, past the shore where echoes roam, Whoaaaahhh, where the winds and lost ones go. Ohhh, ohhh, past the veil where silence calls, Whoaaahhh, whoaaahhh, will I rise or will I fall? [Verse 3] (Tagelharpa deepens, frame drum softens, flute takes lead melody) Whoaaaahhh, golden halls beneath the deep, Oooohhhh, carved in stone, their names still speak. Hands reach up through waters wide, Tethered still, but the ropes untied. [Pre-Chorus] (Breathy chants, whispers layered, fading in and out) Ohhh, ohhh, storm and silence drift as one, Whoaaahhh, whoaaahhh, do I leave or am I gone? [Chorus] (Powerful harmonies, deep drum beats like crashing waves, flute swelling high above) Oooohhhh, past the shore where echoes roam, Whoaaaahhh, where the winds and lost ones go. Ohhh, ohhh, past the veil where silence calls, Whoaaahhh, whoaaahhh, will I rise or will I fall? [Bridge] (Music slows, lyre plucking remains, faint flute weaves in and out, single vocal melody fades in reverb) Whoaaaahhh, the winds don’t call, the sails don’t bend, Oooohhhh, the past won’t break, the line won’t end. Still I sail, though the stars burn low, Still I drift where the cold winds blow. [Outro] (Single whispery vocal, fading into silence, only wind and distant flute remain) Ohhh, ohhh, water sings, but not for me, Whoaaahhh, whoaaahhh, did I sail, or am I free?
