https://youtu.be/oqOkN-jJJGk [Intro] [A solitary, mournful cello note swells] [Distant, thunderous timpani rolls like approaching doom] [Vocals: A hollow, echoing whisper] The shadow touches the edge. [Verse 1] [Slow, heavy orchestral march begins, utterly devoid of hope] [Vocals: Deep, resonant, filled with quiet terror] The sky is turning to a rusted gray. The final hour of the final day. We stood together on the highest hill. And watched the turning of the cosmic wheel. The warmth is leaving from the summer air. A sudden chill is settling in the square. I trace the vanishing of every light. Surrendering to the absolute night. [Pre-Chorus] [Strings rise in a terrifying, discordant climb] [Vocals: Pushing into a raw, desperate wail] The orbit aligns. The history breaks. The universe takes and takes and takes. [Chorus] [The entire orchestra erupts in a deafening, apocalyptic crash] [Vocals: Tearing the sky open, absolute vocal devastation] This is the eclipse! (Falling down) The utter erasure of the town! (Falling down) The monumental love is swallowed by the black! There is absolutely no way to turn it back! We burn so hot we turned the atmosphere to stone! And now we face the infinite entirely alone! Eclipse! [Verse 2] [Orchestra strips back to just a solitary, weeping violin and the heavy drums] [Vocals: Broken, exhausted, trembling] The birds have stopped their singing in the trees. The total silence brings me to my knees. I cannot see the outline of your hand. A total darkness covers up the land. We spent the century inside a flame. We burned the map and we forgot the name. And now the consequence is finally here. A perfect, suffocating, perfect sphere. [Pre-Chorus] [Strings rise in a terrifying, discordant climb] [Vocals: Pushing into a raw, desperate wail] The orbit aligns. The history breaks. The universe takes and takes and takes. [Chorus] [The entire orchestra erupts in a deafening, apocalyptic crash] [Vocals: Tearing the sky open, absolute vocal devastation] This is the eclipse! (Falling down) The utter erasure of the town! (Falling down) The monumental love is swallowed by the black! There is absolutely no way to turn it back! We burn so hot we turned the atmosphere to stone! And now we face the infinite entirely alone! Eclipse! [Outro] [The orchestra plays one final, agonizingly slow chord that fades into nothingness] [Vocals: A final, fading sigh in the dark] It is gone. [Silence]
