[Intro: spacious uneasy, fingerpicked flamenco guitar, low cello swells, heavy reverb, no drums] [Verse 1: deep contralto, chest voice, low register, raw, intimate, smoky, whispered to spoken-sung, flamenco phrasing] in the clear of night, where the moon takes rest, i beheld your shadow on the water's breast. all the stars fall silent just to hear my song, for they know i love you, and i've ached so long. [Verse 2: same intimate delivery, slow-burning, mournful, down-tuned 8-string enters softly, fuzz, feedback] oh, my fairest lady, light upon my way, not one hour forgot you, though i went astray. if the Lord should grant me one more glimpse of thee, all my soul would blossom, all my want run free. [Bridge: building, tribal pulse, soft organic percussion, handclaps, persian melismatic ornamentation, microtonal bends] and the wind still bears me over hill and vale, with a heavy sigh that knows no beaten trail. if you hear it calling through the distance wide, send to me your name, and let me stand beside. [Climax: violent shift from serene to crushing distortion, wall of low guitars, dense drop a, double-bass, deep sub-bass, maximum intensity, raw chest voice] and until my dying, with faith and with truth, i will sing forever, my one and only light. [Outro: dissolve into feedback, low cello, heavy reverb, tape saturation, whispered, trance-like repetition, fade to silence] and until my dying... with faith and with truth... i will sing forever... my one and only light.
