[Intro — clean guitar melody, whisper] (Female whisper) I saw your light... I reached... [Verse 1 — Male Baritone, heavy riffs] I cast my light across the endless grey A silent prayer that you would turn my way Two souls align, a fire born inside But you looked through me — and my colors died [Pre-Chorus — Male, building intensity] And the ray I gave you shattered on the stone A thousand broken mirrors, bleeding light alone... [Chorus — Female Soprano, soaring over wall of guitars] Shards of love lie bleeding on the floor Each fragment holds a sun that burns no more But somewhere in the darkness, one still glows — A dying ember waiting to explode! ([both voices]* Waiting to explode!)* [Verse 2 — Male Baritone] I wander halls where shadows wear your face Melancholia's crown upon my head They say that broken light can find no grace But I still hold this splinter — ruby red [Chorus — Female Soprano] Shards of love lie bleeding on the floor Each fragment holds a sun that burns no more But somewhere in the darkness, one still glows — A dying ember waiting to explode! [Bridge — duet, trading lines] (Male) I am the darkness craving for your flame... (Female) I am the silence, hiding your name... (Male) If one small shard could catch the light again — (Female) Then we would blaze as we were meant to be! [Breakdown — heavy, whispered, both voices intertwining] Glow... little shard... glow... Mend... what the night... broke... [Final Chorus — Female Soprano + Male harmonies in thirds] Shards of love — I'll gather every one Till dawn arrives and burning seas run And when you finally turn your eyes to me Ten thousand suns will rise eternally! [Outro — Female Soprano, fading a cappella] Shards of love... Will shine again... Shine again...
