[Intro: Slow ambient synth pads, distant delay guitar, low drone, cold reverb] Whispers in the dark Fading through the hall (through the hall… through the hall…) [Verse] Shadows crawl along the stone Cold as every word you spoke Footsteps echo in the nave Of promises we never saved Candles flicker, dying slow Dust remembers what we know Every prayer falls back to me Broken in eternity [Instrumental texture: delay guitar swells with deep bass pulse] [Chorus] In the echoes of the cathedral night I hear your voice in the fading light Nothing lives and nothing stays Only ghosts inside the haze (inside the haze) In the echoes, cold and wide All the tears we tried to hide Time dissolves in violet air You were never really there [Verse] Iron bells begin to cry For the dreams we let all die Blackened roses on the floor Love is breathing nevermore Frozen words upon your lips Like a dying eclipse Every silence cuts in two All the darkness left by you [Instrumental break: drum machine pulse, chorus guitar with heavy delay] [Chorus] In the echoes of the cathedral night I hear your voice in the fading light Nothing lives and nothing stays Only ghosts inside the haze (inside the haze) In the echoes, cold and wide All the tears we tried to hide Time dissolves in violet air You were never really there [Bridge: Ambient expansion, choir pad, slow tom hits, deep reverb] I call your name into the void But every sound becomes destroyed Falling through the endless grey Where all the memories decay (Decay… decay…) [Chorus] In the echoes of the cathedral night I hear your voice in the fading light Nothing lives and nothing stays Only ghosts inside the haze In the echoes, far away Love has turned itself to grey All the prayers we never said Sleeping with the silent dead (silent dead) [Outro: Violins enter, slow, mournful melody, reverb tail, fading synth] No more light No more sound Only silence all around (Stay with me… stay with me…) [end]
