Everything is now

[Verse 1] [Music: Minimalist, cold piano and deep sub-bass] [Vocals: Deep, almost spoken, intense] I step into the hour when night begins, I shiver, friend, as darkness slowly wins, A mortal mist runs thick in my blood, What’s left of us, what’s left of what we loved? [Chorus] [Music: Beat kicks in, shimmering synths] [Vocals: More melodic, airy but powerful] But you, you still long to wander through the world, To feel life and ecstasy unfurled, To cross the chaos, beauty in its wake, And touch the silk of clouds before they break. [Verse 2] [Music: Beat continues, rhythmic and dry] A funeral sweetness hangs in the air, Death presses on. Ah! life grows thin and bare, To live becomes a sickness, soft and slow, The clock runs dry; age drags the body low. [Chorus] But you, you still long to wander through the world, To feel life and ecstasy unfurled, To cross the chaos, beauty in its wake, And touch the silk of clouds before they break. [Bridge] [Music: Dramatic build-up, heavy analog synth swells] [Vocals: Intense, escalating] You split up time in endless silver streams, You bind dark light to night and waking dreams, You brush the law of life no hand can hold, And sing: nothing is over, nothing grows old… [Hook] [Music: Maximum energy, synth-pop groove] Everything is now (right now). Everything is now (right now). [Outro] [Music: Drums stop, lonely synth pad and soft piano] [Vocals: Fragile, very low register, fading] And you, you still long to wander through the world, To feel life and ecstasy unfurled, (To feel life and ecstasy unfurled,) [End]
