Lunar Eclipse of the Heart

[Intro – clean nylon-string guitar, fast Phrygian melody, delicate rasgueado, dramatic harmonics] [Verse 1] The moon turns black above the night A silver shadow swallows light I hear the stars begin to cry As something beautiful passes by A heartbeat hiding underneath A whispered rhythm, barely breathing For just one moment, I can't see The little light that's left in me [Pre-Chorus – acoustic arpeggios accelerating] But shadows move And shadows lie The moon is dark But still in the sky [Chorus – gigantic distorted guitars, double-kick drums, harmonized leads] Lunar eclipse of the heart When all the colors fall apart The night comes down, the heavens start A lunar eclipse of the heart But darkness isn't where you are You're still a fire behind the stars Even when I can't see the spark You're burning through the dark [Instrumental – distorted guitars transform the opening flamenco melody into a massive metal riff] [Verse 2] The crescent cuts across the blue A blade of silver pointing through The universe forgets to breathe While shadows dance around the sea I thought the night had won the fight I thought I'd lost the last of light But somewhere past the veil of black A hidden sun was fighting back [Pre-Chorus – nylon guitar returns beneath rising distorted harmonies] And shadows move And shadows fade The light was never Really taken away [Chorus – full band, explosive percussion] Lunar eclipse of the heart When all the colors fall apart The night comes down, the heavens start A lunar eclipse of the heart But darkness isn't where you are You're still a fire behind the stars Even when I can't see the spark You're burning through the dark [Breakdown – crushing low-tuned riff, syncopated accents] Black moon Cold sky No light No goodbye Heartbeat Still there One spark Everywhere [Whispered] Can you see me? [Clean nylon-string interlude – rapid Phrygian arpeggios, hammer-ons, pull-offs, harmonics] [Bridge – delicate female vocal over flamenco guitar] Maybe the moon Was never gone Maybe the night Was hiding dawn Maybe the shadow Had to fall So I could learn The light was all [Build – acoustic guitar accelerates while distorted guitars gradually enter] One heartbeat... Two worlds... Three seconds... And then— [Explosive chorus] LUNAR ECLIPSE OF THE HEART! THE SHADOW CANNOT STOP THE LIGHT! LUNAR ECLIPSE OF THE HEART! THE DARKNESS ONLY HIDES THE NIGHT! I see the fire I feel the spark I found the light Inside the dark! LUNAR ECLIPSE OF THE HEART! [Instrumental – virtuosic dual-guitar section] [Flamenco nylon guitar performs rapid Phrygian runs against crushing low-tuned metal riff] [Harmonized electric guitars answer with sweeping arpeggios] [Unexpected rhythmic accents and Spanish harmonic flourishes] [Rapid ascending sequence] [Call-and-response between acoustic and distorted guitars] [Final Solo – virtuosic] [Fast nylon-string rasgueado transformed into blistering electric-guitar lead] [Wide bends, sweep-picked arpeggios, harmonic minor runs, Phrygian sequences, tapped harmonics, rapid alternate picking] [Two harmonized guitars climb higher and higher] [Massive sustained final note with feedback and distant choir] [Final Chorus – slower, enormous, triumphant] The moon comes back The shadows part The light was never gone From my heart The moon comes back The stars ignite An eclipse can hide the sun But it cannot kill the light Lunar eclipse... Of the heart... [Outro – solo nylon-string guitar reprises the opening melody, now resolving into a bright major chord]
