Slow, rhythmic thumping like a giant’s footsteps] [Deep, vibrating sub-bass hum] [Whispered layer upon layer] The eye. The wheel. The stone. The flame. The eye. The wheel. The stone. The flame. [Verse 1] [Hypnotic, steady cadence] Before the word. Before the light. Before the day devoured night. The center holds. The circle turns. The altar cold. The spirit burns. Everything flows. Nothing remains. Blood in the river. Iron in veins. Panta Rhei. Panta Rhei. [Chorus] [Heavy, slow, and massive] Amor Fati. Embrace the fall. Amor Fati. The end of all. Memento Mori. The skull is white. Memento Mori. The ghost is light. We are the echoes. We are the dust. In the cold of the iron, in the heat of the rust. [Verse 2] [Chanted, staccato delivery] One is the All. All is the One. Born in the shadow. Slain by the sun. Solve. (Dissolve the dream) Coagula. (Bind the scream) The lead is heavy. The gold is thin. The war without. The peace within. Ancient. Eternal. Silent. Divine. The geometry of the human design. [Bridge] [Musical vacuum—all sound drops but a ticking clock and a deep cello] [Build-up starts low and aggressive] Sic. Transit. Gloria. Mundi. (The world is passing) Sic. Transit. Gloria. Mundi. (The glory is fading) Look into the dark. Look into the deep. The stars are awake. The gods are asleep. AWAKE. AWAKE. [Verse 3] [Walls of sound, industrial distortion] Sapere Aude. Dare to see. The cage is open. You are the key. Ataraxia. The mind is still. The iron law. The sovereign will. No past to haunt. No future to fear. The only truth is happening here. HERE. HERE. [Chorus] [Maximum cinematic power—choir joins in] Amor Fati. Embrace the fall. Amor Fati. The end of all. Memento Mori. The skull is white. Memento Mori. The ghost is light. [Outro] [Tempo slows significantly—drifting into a void] [Spoken/Whispered] Incipit Vita Nova. (The new life begins) Ex Nihilo. (From nothing) In Nihilum. (Into nothing) [Rhythmic breathing] Deep. Deeper. Silence. [Final, distant bronze bell toll] [Fade to black]
