(Intro) (A somber acoustic guitar blended with soft, chilling strings; ocean waves wash onto the shore in the background) (Verse 1) The Aegean wind sweeps over Mount Olympus high Apollo’s arrows tear through the starlit sky Niobe’s tears fall cold upon the deserted shore A prideful sin that broke her heart forevermore (Verse 2) The vengeance of gods struck down like a sudden gale Warmth and laughter shattered, leaving a silent wail She stands at the water’s edge, a ridge frozen in pain Where grief so heavy turns every breath to stone and rain (Chorus) She turned to stone, standing guard at the edge of the world As waves crash soft where her faded dress once swirled Though flesh and bone have grown unyielding and cold Her gaze remains on the restless deep, forever untamed, untold (Verse 3) The seasons turn, and high tides swallow forgotten vows Frost and storm etch lines upon her hardened brows They call it judgment on a heart that dared push too high Yet none can see the endless devotion locked inside (Bridge) (Drums swell, orchestral strings build up in intensity) This is no curse—it’s grief frozen into the earth! When tears run dry, a thousand years of pain find birth! No need for mercy, no longing for a dawn to rise Let this body sleep where the endless ocean lies! (Chorus) She turned to stone, standing guard at the edge of the world As waves crash soft where her faded dress once swirled Though flesh and bone have grown unyielding and cold Her gaze remains on the restless deep, forever untamed, untold (Outro) (Music fades softly into the acoustic guitar and gentle wave sounds) The wind calms down... the tide recedes... Tears seep deep through the fractured stone A silent silhouette by the sea Forever staring into the blue... alone...
