[long intro - ambient organ swells, faint footsteps in reverb, ghostly guitar harmonics] [verse 1 - hushed, almost whispered delivery over deep drone] Can we forget that flash of light? Suddenly thousands disappeared In the crushed depths of endless night The cries of many no one heard [organ grows darker, light guitar arpeggio enters] From the sky like gentle snow Comes the great forgiveness now Rain grown soft, the flakes descend And rest where sorrow somehow bends [chorus - drums creep in slow, ghostly echo on vocals] I come and stand at every door But none can hear my silent tread I knock and yet remain unseen For I am gone, for I am gone [instrumental break - distorted guitar bends, low bass rumble, cymbals like distant thunder] [verse 2 - more intensity, voice rougher, organ swells thicker] Night in basements made of stone Concrete structures turned to dust In the darkness, all alone With the smell of broken trust [beat sharpens, guitars riff under organ] On this day, the sun appeared Not slowly on the distant hill But right here where we once lived A blast that made the world stand still [chorus - heavier, drums locked with bass] I come and stand at every door But none can hear my silent tread I knock and yet remain unseen For I am gone, for I am gone [bridge - whispered lines, instruments stripped down, then swell up suddenly] The flakes nestle close, each one A memory of what we've done In the city square so bright Love was lost to blinding light [instrumental - soaring guitar solo, echoing into emptiness, organ pulsing like heartbeat] [final chorus - desperate, climactic, vocals raw and drawn out] I come and stand at every door But none can hear my silent tread I knock but you can't see me here For I am love, for I am love [echo repeats, instrumentation fades into nothingness] That disappeared That disappeared [final lingering organ chord fades into silence]
