[verse 1]
[Quiet, intimate drone and glockenspiel only]
The stars are heavy in your quiet room
A heavy curtain drawn against the moon
You count the shadows dancing on the wall
I hold your hand to make the world feel small
The noise outside is spinning far too fast
But in this fortress, we can outlast the blast

[pre-chorus]
[Push-pull tension building, slow thunderous drums enter, singing lead guitar starts to weep]
I see the weight behind your beautiful eyes
A silent storm beneath the midnight skies
The world is loud, it doesn't understand
But I am here, I'm holding tight your hand
We build a wall against the crushing tide...

[chorus]
[Explosive restart: Ultra-heavy downtuned guitars smash in, massive crushing riffs, devastating and warm]
Sleep now, my brave and beautiful boy
Let the deep darkness drown out the noise
Though the earth shakes and the pillars may fall
My love is a shield, the strongest of all
Close your tired eyes, let the sorrow release
In this heavy winter, I promise you peace

[verse 2]
[Abrupt silence - music drops back to bleak drone and the lonely glockenspiel]
Your mind is mapping roads I cannot see
A sacred, locked-away geometry
They call it silence, but I hear the roar
Of every wave that crashes on your shore
You fight so hard just to breathe in the day
Now let the heavy rhythm wash it away

[pre-chorus]
[Tension rising, dense harmony layering in the vocals, controlled mid-register power, funeral bells]
I see the weight behind your beautiful eyes
A silent storm beneath the midnight skies
The world is loud, it doesn't understand
But I am here, I'm holding tight your hand
We build a wall against the crushing tide...

[chorus]
[Explosive restart: Massive dynamic lift, tear-inducing warmth mixed with brutal low-end riffs]
Sleep now, my brave and beautiful boy
Let the deep darkness drown out the noise
Though the earth shakes and the pillars may fall
My love is a shield, the strongest of all
Close your tired eyes, let the sorrow release
In this heavy winter, I promise you peace

[bridge]
[The singing lead-guitar takes over with a tragic, soaring melodic hook]
[The march slows down, dragging with an intense push-pull feel]
No words are needed in the dark we share
I breathe your panic, I absorb your care
We march together through the funeral line
Of all the shattered dreams you left behind
[Music swells to an agonizing emotional peak of density and harmony]
[Abrupt SILENCE. Total cutoff. Just a single breath.]

[chorus]
[Explosive, most powerful restart: Total sonic devastation, maximum emotional weight]
Sleep now, my brave and beautiful boy
Let the deep darkness drown out the noise
Though the earth shakes and the pillars may fall
My love is a shield, the strongest of all
Close your tired eyes, let the sorrow release
In this heavy winter, I promise you peace

[outro]
[Guitars fade into a bleak, low drone]
[The funeral bells toll one last time]
[The glockenspiel plays the opening motif, slow and fragile]
I promise you peace...
My beautiful boy.
[Fades out to silence]
[end]
