(Music Intro: Eerie, atmospheric synth pads, a low pulsing beat, and the sound of crackling electricity and ticking clocks.) (Verse 1) The papers signed, a hollow name An empty house, a dying flame The pink slip came with the autumn rain Now all that's left is the silent pain In a garage of dreams and rusted steel Test tubes whisper what I feel With whirling gizmos, sparks and wires To stoke the ashes of my fires (Pre-Chorus) But I'm so close, I can taste the spark To animate the waiting dark... (Chorus - in Phonetic Enochian) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah, EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah!) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (OO-ah-nah DEE-ah, OO-ah-nah-lah!) (Verse 2) Stolen codes from genetics' heart The sacred science, torn apart A body borrowed, not a grave A secret that my old friend gave From chemistry's and physics' might I'll steal a shard of borrowed light To jump the gap, to break the chain And make this lifeless form breathe again (Pre-Chorus) I'm so close now, I see the thread To wake the living from the dead... (Chorus - in Phonetic Enochian) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah, EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah!) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (OO-ah-nah DEE-ah, OO-ah-nah-lah!) (Verse 3) A twitch! A finger! Eyelids flutter! My silent heart begins to stutter A surge of power, a blinding flash... Then nothing but a cold, grey ash It slumps back down, the dream's deferred Without a whisper, without a word Another failure, another night Extinguishing my stolen light (Instrumental Break: Agitated, despairing music. Sounds of glass breaking and a frustrated cry.) (Verse 4) But then the sky began to bleed A neon green, a ghostly seed The aurora danced, a sickly hue A sight that no one ever knew And through the trees, on silent wings Came glowing, pulsing, watchful things Large orbs of light, a silent flight That pierced the fabric of the night (Chorus - Music swells, more powerful and ominous) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah, EE-ah VOHD-ah-nah!) (AY-ah ZOD-ah-ree-nah, PAH-geh GOH-lah-mah!) (OO-ah-nah DEE-ah, OO-ah-nah-lah!) (Verse 5) I woke at dawn, the sky was clear And choked on a new, familiar fear There in the garage, it stood upright Bathed in the morning's gentle light It turned its head, its lips were curled It was my face upon this world It spoke my name with my own voice It was my shape, it was my choice... Later that day, the gate unlatched One single man, the door he patched And as he walked off down the street The question rose... which one was me? (Bridge - Music becomes sparse, haunting, with a single piano note or synth line) All this time, I thought I knew the price To melt the wax and conquer ice But the angels' tongue, the ancient key Spoke a darker truth to me... It wasn't just a spark I'd steal... It was a soul, to make it real. (Final Chorus - Starts in a whisper, then builds to a powerful, tragic climax) (Whispered) "For a soul to live, a soul must die..." (Voice grows stronger) "For a soul to live, a soul must die!" (Full voice, anguished) FOR A SOUL TO LIVE, A SOUL MUST DIE! (Outro: The music fades, leaving only the sound of a slow, steady heartbeat that gradually distorts and then fades into static and a final, cold wind sound.)
