[Intro] #distant night train rumble #crackling neon tube hum fx #cold rain on wet asphalt #sub-bass pulse DREAMERS IN THE DARK! / dry authoritative baritone roar THE GREEN VALLEY DIES! / unison choir blast #heavy gated snare slam #surging analog bassline HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! / soaring operatic female vocalise, melancholic city cry [Verse 1] We left the valley when the fields were green / dry disciplined baritone Chasing a phantom on a silver screen With empty pockets and a blood-red sky Didn't need a preacher just to learn to fly! The innocence rotted when we crossed the line / rhythmic marching cadence Down where the water tastes of iron and pine Still we kept reaching for the world divine! Left all the holy ground burning in the back COLD WIND HOWLING DOWN THE RAILROAD TRACK! / rising throat rasp #train horn echo [Pre-Chorus] #sub-bass surge #accelerating 16th sequencer drive Lost in the city lights! / lead baritone bark BLEEDING THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHTS! / choir roar Faces blurred behind the glass WATCHING ALL THE EMPTY SHADOWS PASS! / full throat shout #snare crack [Chorus] Oh, we are dreamers in the neon rain! / full martial choir Trying to wash away the ghosts of pain! Down by the black water where the shadows play / lead baritone command PRAYING FOR THE SORROW JUST TO WASH AWAY! / unison response Lost in the city lights! / soaring female cry BLEEDING THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHTS! / massive kick drop #sub-bass blast HOI! HOI! HOI! HOI! [Verse 2] The faces change but the scars remain / cold narrative baritone A silent silhouette through a cracked windowpane Is it all a fever if it don't come true? I'm choking on the ghost and the memory of you! No borders to cross, no silver to hold / lowered menace Just begging for a spark when the timber turns cold! Left all the holy ground burning in the back COLD WIND HOWLING DOWN THE RAILROAD TRACK! / commanding roar [Pre-Chorus] Lost in the city lights! BLEEDING THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHTS! Faces blurred behind the glass WATCHING ALL THE EMPTY SHADOWS PASS! [Chorus] Oh, we are dreamers in the neon rain! Trying to wash away the ghosts of pain! Down by the black water where the shadows play PRAYING FOR THE SORROW JUST TO WASH AWAY! Lost in the city lights! BLEEDING THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHTS! [Bridge - The Green Valley Breakdown] #half-time urban stomp #isolated sub drone #distant rain dripping Listen to the silence... / low spoken dry baritone Remember the green valley... / quiet choir whisper The faces are gone in the mire... Only the hunger remains... TEAR IT OPEN! / full throat scream #shattering neon tube fx #sub explosion #rapid 16th sequencer sweep #sweeping white noise swell [Chorus] #maximum drive #unfiltered 16th bassline #gated snare blast Oh, we are dreamers in the neon rain! Trying to wash away the ghosts of pain! Down by the black water where the shadows play PRAYING FOR THE SORROW JUST TO WASH AWAY! Lost in the city lights! BLEEDING THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHTS! [Outro] Just dreamers in the dark... / cold solemn baritone Living for today... / female whisper, tape delay Let the black water... WASH IT AWAY! / final distorted megaphone roar HOI! / choir slam #fading neon buzz #soft rain on pavement fade #hard cut
