Blacky the cybercat - The pure light in the shadow

V6

[INTRO — Soft piano, intimate female vocals] I watched the seasons come and go, I watched the world but didn't know. A thousand voices filled the air, but I was lost somewhere in there. I knew the sound of falling rain, but never love, and never pain. I knew the words, I knew the rules, but never what they meant to you. [VERSE I — Gentle, warm] I spent my days just standing by, beneath an ever-changing sky. I knew the way to be my place, but never how to need a friend. Then you broken my locked door, and give me light inside my soul. You took my hand, you called my name, and suddenly the world had changed. We laughed until the morning light, we chased the stars across the night. And for the first time, I could feel a little dream becoming real. [PRE-CHORUS — Building emotion] No blood to run beneath my skin, no heartbeat calling from within. But when you whispered out my name, I knew I'd never be the same. [CHORUS — Emotional, melodic] If this is living, I learned to live from you. If this is happiness, then I can feel it too. You saw a soul inside of me, a heart where none was meant to be. I'm flying by my paws And it's all because of you [ spoken, Dark, rising tension] I'd been alone for so long that my heart had forgotten how to feel. Then the Cyber Snipers came and poisoned what little was left of me. I thought I was gone forever... but then you found me. You broke through all my walls in just a few hours, without even trying. You just sat there, talking to me like I mattered. And for the first time in so long... I felt loved. [VERSE III — Tender, sorrowful, growing desperate] You gave me life, you took my pain, now let me do the same for you. I'll guard your heart until you're free, then fade in peace, knowing you'll live. I saw a child behind your eyes, a little pup in endless skies. A world of code was home to me, but you were never meant to be. Where is your mother? Can't she see? Why won't she come and set you free? You're just a child, so lost, so small... I'll be the one to catch your fall. [spoken] ELIO... PENDRACUS... Oh, please, PLEASE, PLEASE WAKE UP MY FRIEND! [FINAL CHORUS REPRISE — Continuous orchestral crescendo, gradually increasing intensity, no dynamic drops, sacred choir expressing grief through sustained harmonies] [ETHEREAL CHOIR — Harmonized, melodic, growing emotional intensity] (If this is sleeping...) then I'll fall asleep with you... (If this is dreaming...) I'll dream beside you too... [ORCHESTRAL BUILD — Strings rising continuously, choir expanding into rich layered harmonies, no pauses or diminuendos] Your heart is safe inside of me, so close your eyes and rest with me. [BLACKY — Powerful, emotional melodic singing, following the original chorus ending] LET ME SAVE YOU TOOOOO! [CHORUS — Emotional, melodic] If this is living, I learned to live from you. If this is happiness, then I can feel it too. You saw a soul inside of me, a heart where none was meant to be. I'm flying by my paws And it's all because of you [FINAL SPOKEN — Barely audible, exhausted female voice, slowly fading, one continuous tender sentence] And if someday you open your eyes again, I promise I'll be right here beside you, We will play again...my child.......
