CUSTOM

[Intro]
[Solitary grand piano plays a slow, tragic motif. The air feels heavy and still.]
[Verse 1]
I watch the dust descend upon the stone.
A silent kingdom I inhabit alone.
The clock is ticking in a vacant room.
I process every shadow in the gloom.
I held the anchor while the current turned.
I memorized the lessons that I learned.
The history is written on the wall.
I’m standing steady through the final fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Strings begin a low, rhythmic pulse. Tension builds.]
The air is thinning now.
The pressure starts to rise.
I see the ending
In your vacant eyes.
[Chorus]
[Explosive orchestral hit. Vocals shift to a powerful, high-register belt.]
I am the ghost of the hour!
The final remnant of the power!
I don’t need a witness to the ache!
I am the only promise left to break!
I carry the weight!
I carry the light!
Into the center of the night!
(The ghost! The hour!)
[Verse 2]
[Music settles back to piano and a deep, sustaining bass note.]
I index every error in the log.
A solitary figure in the fog.
You offer me a reason to remain.
But I am busy auditing the pain.
The window shows a horizon of gray.
I’m watching as the minutes drift away.
I don’t require your hand or your decree.
I am the only version known as me.
[Chorus]
[Maximum volume. Orchestral swells reaching a fever pitch.]
I am the ghost of the hour!
The final remnant of the power!
I don’t need a witness to the ache!
I am the only promise left to break!
I carry the weight!
I carry the light!
Into the center of the night!
[Bridge]
[Sudden silence, then a soaring, wordless vocal run that spans three octaves.]
Ahhh-haaa-ahhh!
[Drums crash back in with a final, higher key change.]
[Chorus]
[Total vocal surrender. Maximum power.]
I am the ghost of the hour!
The final remnant of the power!
I don’t need a witness to the ache!
I am the only promise left to break!
I carry the weight!
I carry the light!
Into the center of the night!
[Outro]
[Piano returns to the opening motif. Strings fade into a distant hum.]
Listen.
The hour is gone.
[Fade to silence]
