[Verse 1 – soft, almost whispered] I found this piano under purple skies Keys still white, though the world has died Fingers on ivory, playing songs for ghosts Every note falls soft like evening snow [Chorus – fragile, layered female] If the stars still listen, let them hear my name Just a girl in rags who never learned the game Play one last lullaby before the dark Before the silence claims this broken heart [Verse 2 – same softness, wind rising] Memories of laughter, echoes in the dust Children used to run here, now there’s only rust I close my eyes and pretend they’re still alive In the quiet spaces between each note I cry [2:10 – everything stops… then the sky cracks open] [Speed Metal Finale – soaring power vocals] BUT THE WASTELAND ANSWERED WITH A THOUSAND GUITARS! RISE FROM THE ASHES, TEAR DOWN THE STARS! NO MORE LULLABIES, ONLY THE ROAR! I AM THE REQUIEM OF THIS DYING WAR! [Final Chorus – massive, triumphant] PLAY THE KEYS OF FIRE, LET THE HEAVENS BURN! EVERY NOTE A BLADE, EVERY CHORD A STORM! FROM THE PIANO GRAVE I WILL ASCEND! WASTELAND LULLABY HAS REACHED ITS END!
