[Intro] [High-pitched operatic soprano vocalizations with heavy reverb] [Orchestral strings and cinematic percussion hits] [Double-kick drumming and distorted guitar power chords enter] [Verse 1] [Male vocals, clean but gritty] [Palm-muted guitar chugging, steady eighth-note bass] A candle flickers on the windowsill A ghost of warmth against the winter chill I trace the patterns on the frozen glass Watching the shadows of the hours pass There is no sound inside this hollow room Just the heavy weight of impending doom I speak your name into the empty air But only dust motes dance around me there [Chorus] [Full band, soaring male vocals, orchestral backing] I am fading out of focus I am screaming in the silence A prisoner of this quiet violence The echo returns with no reply Just the emptiness where we used to lie I'm drowning in the space you left behind A broken memory I cannot unwind Alone, so cold and alone [Verse 2] [Music pulls back to strings and light percussion] The mirror shows a face I barely know A pale reflection in the afterglow I try to sleep to chase the pain away But demons haunt the light of day [Chorus] [Full intensity returns] You were the anchor in my storm-tossed sea Now I'm drifting aimlessly Every heartbeat feels like a ticking bomb Waiting for a rescue that will never come [Bridge] [Orchestral swell, operatic soprano returns] I'm losing this fight I am screaming in the silence A prisoner of this quiet violence The echo returns with no reply Just the emptiness where we used to lie I'm drowning in the space you left behind A broken memory I cannot unwind Alone, so cold and alone [Guitar Solo] [Fast alternate picking, sweep-picked arpeggios, melodic bends] [Outro] [Music fades to strings and operatic vocalizations] Can you hear me calling out? Or am I just a whisper in the drought? Tear these walls down Break the chains Nothing but the ghost remains [Final orchestral chord fades]
