[Intro: Sound of distant thunder. A single melancholic grand piano playing a slow, haunting melody] [Verse 1: Voice only with piano.

Complete void for two seconds] (Silence) [The Awakening: A haunting, unaccompanied acapella vocal] But my wings were made of glass. [Massive Doom-Gaze Climax: Extreme dynamic shift! The heaviest, slowest, most crushing metalcore breakdown imaginable. Soaring, desperate, weeping clean belting!] SHATTERED ACROSS THE FLOOR! I CAN'T FEEL THE RAIN ANYMORE! BURIED BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF THE CROWN! WATCHING THE HEAVENS BURNING DOWN! BURNING DOWN! (Tearing at the seams!) BURNING DOWN! [Outro: All heavy instruments vanish instantly.
