03.Romeo's lament

High fidelity epic gothic opera, complex classic obsessive melancholic piano, sad two toned violins, a main violin solo, deep melodic cellos, epic powerful male dramatic tenor, flutes arrangement, harmonizing epic female choir, lengthy hauntingly beautiful violin solos

[Scene opens with a slow, grinding bassline and an eerie harpsichord. A mournful cello joins in before the heavy, distorted guitars kick in.]

[Verse 1]
The blood of Montague runs cold beneath my skin
A stranger to myself, I let the shadows in
Melancholy drops a veil across my weary sight
I draw the heavy shutters, I kill the morning light
Pacing up and down the cold and stony floor
Let the daylight die outside my heavy oaken door

[Pre-Chorus]

[Tempo builds, double-kick drums start rolling, operatic choir softly chants in the background]
No golden sun can thaw the winter in my head
I’ll forge an artificial night instead
Where specters whisper and the raven flies
Hidden from my father’s searching eyes
I shun the dawn, I shun the turning tide
With only my despair to be my guide

[Chorus]

[Explosive gothic rock energy, soaring lead guitar, thunderous drums]
Oh, Juliet! A phantom in the dark!
A silver dagger through my aching heart!
I’m poisoned by the love I can’t forget,
But swallowed by my hate for Capulet!
A Montague in chains of his own making,
Trapped inside a dream that’s never waking!

[Verse 2]

[Music strips back down to a solitary, driving bass and a haunting piano melody]
They ask me why I waste my youth away
Why I flee the waking hours of the day
But how can I explain this wretched, twisted curse?
The plague of loving her is something worse
For every tender vision of her angel face
Is strangled by the venom of our ancient race.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Guitars return, thick and distorted, choir rises in volume]
So let the artificial midnight fall
I'll paint my bloody sorrow on the chamber wall
Where specters whisper and the raven flies
Hidden from the world's accusing eyes
I shun the dawn, I shun the turning tide
With only my despair to be my guide

[Chorus]

[Full symphonic rock explosion]
Oh, Juliet! A phantom in the dark!
A silver dagger through my aching heart!
I’m poisoned by the love I can’t forget,
But swallowed by my hate for Capulet!
A Montague in chains of his own making,
Trapped inside a dream that’s never waking!

[Bridge]

[Tempo halves, heavy, doom-metal chugging riffs. Call and response between Romeo and the Choir]
Romeo: Love!
Choir: (A holy grace!)
Romeo: Hate!
Choir: (A damned embrace!)
Romeo: Two ancient houses seal my bitter fate!
I taste her virgin kiss, I taste the spilling blood!
A crimson rose dragged screaming through the mud!
Tear down the sun! Put out the stars!
Leave nothing but the bleeding of our scars!

[Guitar Solo - frantic, emotional, soaring and tragic, ending on a sustained, wailing note]

[Outro]

[Music fades to just a solitary, echoing piano and the sound of falling rain]
I am not myself...
The daylight burns my eyes...
Only in this artificial night...
Can my dark love arise.
Oh, Juliet...
God damn thy name of Capulet...
