[Intro] [Slow minimalist drum machine] [Delicate chorused electric guitar] [No solos, atmospheric] [Verse 1] [Female Vocal: Low, husky contralto, intimate and close] I measured every step to keep the balance true Swallowed the words I could not say to you The discipline of silence is a heavy art A thousand invisible threads across the heart You see a cage, I see the sacred line The quiet sacrifice that makes it mine [Chorus 1] [Female Vocal] [Gentle build, warm bass] But we meet in the shadow of the canopy Two different rivers pulling to the sea I hold the earth so you can chase the wind Where does the honor end, and love begin? [Verse 2] [Male Vocal: High, breathy androgynous falsetto] [Drums widen, slow rhythmic groove] I refuse the gravity that keeps you bound I’d rather break my wings than walk the ground You guard a legacy of dust and stone But I was meant to walk the clouds alone Why serve a master who will never weep When there are oceans that we haven't seen? [Chorus 2] [Both Vocals harmonize] [Guitars thicken, emotional swell] We meet in the shadow of the canopy Two different rivers pulling to the sea You hold the earth, I want to chase the wind Where does the honor end, and love begin? [Bridge] [Tense, dramatic shift] [Female - Husky] The history is heavy with the blood of the past! [Male - Falsetto] Then let it fall into the deep at last! [Female - Husky] Some vows survive the fire and the frost. [Male - Falsetto] Some freedoms only come when all is lost! [Guitar Solo] [One massive, soaring, emotional 1980s guitar solo] [No choir, soloists only] [Strings swell in the background] [Outro] [Rhythm pulls back, sweeping orchestral strings] [Ethereal Wordless Vocals - Both singers harmonizing softly] Woo-oo-oo-oo-hoo. Woo-oo-oo-oo-hoo. Woo-oo-oo-oo-hoo. [Guitar gently weeping in the background] Woo-oo-oo-oo-hoo. [Fade to silence]
