The Swirling Approaches

[Fiddle intro - 7 bars] [Verse 1] Come gather in static, in shimmer, in flame Where the choir sings feedback instead of a name Your halo’s a flicker, your doubt is a spark There’s a sun being born in the ribs of the dark The swirling approaches [Fiddle interlude - 5 bars] [Verse 2] I seen it in visions that crawl through the screen Where saints wear the masks of the might-have-been The prophets are coughing up wires and smoke Spitting out truths that the silence once choked The swirling approaches [Clarinet Interlude - 13 bars] [Verse 3] Don’t kneel to the rhythm they sold you as fate That metronome lie keeping time with your cage Your pulse is a riot, your breath is a drum There’s a storm in your chest and it’s begging to come The swirling approaches [Fiddle Interlude - 9 bars] [Verse 4] The system’s a serpent shedding its skin But it’s choking on voices it swallowed within Every whisper you buried is scratching to rise Like a gospel of thunder behind your eyes The swirling approaches [Fiddle and Clarinet duet - 19 bars] [Verse 5] So drink from the voltage, let it rewrite The script in your spine, the code in your sight No tyrant can silence a frequency born When the veil starts to tear and the signal gets torn The swirling approaches [Clarinet outro - 7 bars and fadeout]
