[Intro, Ney Flute & Soft Daf Rhythm, Ambient Textures] [Verse 1, Slow Oud and Qanun Accompaniment] Awake, the morning breaks the bowl of night The hunter’s bow now draws the light A golden thread across the sky Catches the tower where secrets lie [Pre-Chorus] And voices rise before the door “We don’t return, once gone before” The cup is full, the time is now Come dance before the final bow [Chorus, Full Ensemble, Daf Builds] Oh come and drink, oh come and sing This fleeting bird is on the wing No past, no future — just today In love and fire, we melt away [Instrumental Interlude, Oud Solo, 6/8 Rhythm] [Ney melodies echo like wind through desert stones] [Verse 2, Gentle Tempo Shift] A book, a loaf, a cup of red Your eyes beside me, stars overhead The wilderness becomes our prayer With love, we find the garden there [Bridge, Spoken Word Over Music] Let the wise keep arguing their fate Their truths are traps behind the gate I sought them young, I left confused The path loops back, the soul amused [Chorus, Harmonized with Sufi Chant Overtones] Oh come and drink, oh come and sing The flower fades, the bird takes wing We spin inside a shadow show Around the sun, then let it go [Break, Instrumental with Daf Solo] [Rising ambient intensity – trance section] [Verse 3, Slowed Tempo, Minor Mode Shift] The finger writes and moves beyond No tears can cleanse what time has drawn Why fight tomorrow, grieve the past When now’s the only spell that lasts [Chorus, Refrain with Spiritual Intensity, Tanpura Drone Added] Oh come and drink, oh come and sing No ruler stops the circling ring If you and I could break this fate We'd build a world that hearts create [Bridge 2, Ney Solo] (Empty glass… garden moon… turn it down… I'll be gone soon…) [Outro, Fade with Melodic Refrain, Ney + Vocal Improv] So when you walk where I once lay Lift not the glass, just turn away The stars will gather, skies will sigh A breath, a note… then we say goodbye
