Part IV – Play Again - Reconciliation _ Paradox

[Intro] [humming vocals, rhythmic piano chords, synth bass] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] What if we're both the truth And the wound The spark in the dark The silence, the tomb Meaning is fragile But still we create Even despair Can open the gate [Pre-Chorus] [drums enter, staccato strings] We're the questions we ask And the answers we fear We're the laughter and tears The far and the near We're anger and peace The dusk and the dawn We're endings and beginnings We're here and we're gone [Chorus] [full orchestral arrangement, choral backing] Between the chaos There's a whisper so small A voice in the middle A flicker of light Yes to the heartbreak Yes to the fall Yes to the nothing That swallows it all In the void we are brothers We learn where we stand Both the no and the yes Make the overman [Bridge] [piano and strings continue, driving percussion] In the center of conflict A calm voice of being Telling us both There's a place beyond meaning Love isn't weakness Truth isn't war We dance in the paradox We open the door [Chorus] [soaring vocals, heavy drums] Yes to the heartbreak Yes to the fall Yes to the nothing That swallows it all In the void we are brothers We learn where we stand Both the no and the yes Make the overman [Outro] [vocal ad-libs, fading strings] Oh-oh-oh We're ashes and fire We're silence and song We're fleeting eternal We're broken but strong We carry the scars That we thought we would hide But the cracks let the light in We're open inside [piano fades out]
