Farewell
[Intro] [Clean 12-string acoustic guitar arpeggio, soft chorus, quiet cello pad, slow 53 BPM] [Verse 1] [Soft intimate male vocal] Farewell, my love... I couldn’t guide us through this night, And from our path, I have to step out of the light. My steps grow heavy, and my breath is fading fast... Don’t look behind you, leave the shadows in the past. [Pre-Chorus 1] [Drums enter softly, distorted rhythm guitars swell slowly] Across the river lies a bright and newborn day, A life where I am just a ghost along the way. This cold and bitter shadow wraps around my chest, I’ll stand beneath it now, and take my final rest. [Chorus] [Explosive heavy power chords, big 80s gated reverb drums, soaring passionate vocals] Don’t cry, my dear... I know how hard it is to breathe, It breaks my soul to see the bitter tears you weave. Just keep believing that I loved you more than life! Nothing is eternal in this world of pain and strife, My time has run out, and my sword has lost its edge... But you go on! Find a new love, fulfill the pledge. [Verse 2] [Back to clean acoustic guitar with heavy distortion accent stabs on strong beats] So let me stay right here upon this lonely shore, I’ll face the dark alone, I can’t walk anymore. And maybe through the years, I’ll find my way to you— Not in this lifetime, but a dream that’s coming through. [Drums enter softly, distorted rhythm guitars swell slowly] Across the river lies a bright and newborn day, A life where I am just a ghost along the way. This cold and bitter shadow wraps around my chest, I’ll stand beneath it now, and take my final rest. [Chorus] [Explosive heavy power chords, big 80s gated reverb drums, soaring passionate vocals] Don’t cry, my dear... I know how hard it is to breathe, It breaks my soul to see the bitter tears you weave. Just keep believing that I loved you more than life! Nothing is eternal in this world of pain and strife, My time has run out, and my sword has lost its edge... But you go on! Find a new love, fulfill the pledge.
