Shore of Broken Oaths

V5.5

[Instrumental Intro] (Crashing waves against rocks, distant thunder, leise Rabenrufe. Langsame, schwere Drums setzen ein, ein tiefes Horn im Hintergrund.) [Female Spoken Word] (Hallend, wie vom Wind getragen) Here, the sea remembers Every promise made… and every promise broken. [Melodic Verse: Male Singing] (Ohhh, on the edge...) The cliffs rise high above the foam Where restless spirits have no home The salt wind stings, the grey sky cries As distant ravens pierce the skies I hear their call, a warning sound Where every broken oath is drowned [Verse 2 – Female Lead Vocal] (Singing, traurig und kühl, wie eine nordische Seherin) They swore by steel, they swore by blood By rising flame and creeping flood But words can fracture, blades can rust And hearts can crumble into dust The shore still echoes every vow That was forgotten until now [Pre-Chorus – Duet Vocals] (Drums dichter, Synths bauen Druck auf) (Male) The waves keep crashing, never still! (Female) They speak of shattered human will! (Male) The wind repeats what once was said! (Female) Of love and lies and sacred dread! [Chorus – Duet Vocals] (Starker, treibender Drop, melancholisch und episch zugleich) On the Shore of Broken Oaths we stand! Where truth was washed from blood and sand! The ravens circle in the gale They weave the ending of each tale! The sea remembers, cold and wide What every mortal chose to hide! [Instrumental Break] (Driving bassline, schwere Drums, nordische Horn-Motive und kühle, hohe Pads. Sehr filmisch, sturmhaft, tanzbar.) [Melodic Verse: Male Singing] (Ahhh, I can’t forget...) I feel the weight of words I spoke Each fragile vow I almost broke The roaring sea reflects my past The ones I hurt, the spells I cast If I can face this crashing tide Can I forgive the one inside? [Pre-Chorus – Duet Vocals] (Male) The waves keep crashing, never still! (Female) They speak of shattered human will! (Male) The wind repeats what once was said! (Female) Of love and lies and sacred dread! [Chorus – Duet Vocals] (Maximale Energie, emotionaler Höhepunkt) On the Shore of Broken Oaths we stand! Where truth was washed from blood and sand! The ravens circle in the gale They weave the ending of each tale! The sea remembers, cold and wide What every mortal chose to hide! [Breakdown] (Beat fällt weg, nur Wind, Wellen und ein einzelnes, tiefes Horn. Leiser Chor im Hintergrund.) [Female Spoken Word] (Sehr ruhig, aber eindringlich) The water cannot forget. But you can choose… who you become. [Build-up] (Langsame Drum-Rolls, Bass schwillt, Synths bauen sich wie eine Sturmfront auf.) [Final Chorus – Duet Vocals] (Offener, hymnischer, viel Hall) On the Shore of Broken Oaths we stand! Where truth was washed from blood and sand! The ravens circle in the gale They weave the ending of each tale! The sea remembers, cold and wide But I will no longer run and hide! [Outro – Instrumental] (Wellen und Wind, die Drums sterben langsam, ein letztes Horn, dann nur noch Meerrauschen.) [End]
