Imaginary Continent

[Intro: Shimmering glass harp, crystalline water glasses, resonant hang drum notes] (Whispered) That...that distant town... On which imaginary continent does it lie? [Verse 1: Baroque-style counterpoint on glass harp, subtle handpan pulse] Bordered by which river from afar? Is it a place of lies, or does it breathe? Or is it just a sanctuary of dreams... Forever lost to the waking eye? [Chorus: Crying Erhu melody, swelling ethereal harmonies, dramatic resonance] I do not know... I only know You, and I, and the deep blue sea... And this evening, vibrating within me The strings of sorrow and inspiration. [Bridge: Intricate Toccata patterns on hang drum, ethereal choir pads] (Slightly breathless) Far away... Separated from that town of blue shadows... [Outro: Minimalist Erhu fade, fading glass harp notes, deep hang drum resonance] Na na nam nam na na nam nam nam Na na nam nam na na nam na na na Na na nam nam na na nam na na nam Na na nam na na nam na na nam na na na In this exile, in this separation... We are condemned to this place... forever. (Whisper: Forever in the blue...) [End: One final resonant chime on water glass, lingering silence]
