[Intro – Whispered Lullaby, Female Vocal] Sleep, my child, the stars are weeping… Drift on down where time lies still… Eyes like moons, and limbs unmaking— Sing the sea, forget your will… [Verse 1 – Mezzo-Soprano Voice, Echoed and Reverb-Laced] A veil of glass, a sea of sighs, She floats between the moonlit cries. No blade can reach, no foot can find The soul she stole beneath the brine. She hums the hymn of ancient tides, Where gods dissolve and thought divides. And in her gaze, the sleep runs deep— A fathom where the lost ones sleep. [Chorus – Full Choir, Cold and Rising] O Maris! Deepest blue! O voice that calls the mind in two! From dreaming shore to crystal grave, You drown what even Death won’t save! Bubbles rise, the lights recede— The stars forget, the tides still bleed. [Verse 2 – Baritone Voice, Muted Drumbeat] She danced when night unsealed the sky, With jelly limbs and drowned-out cry. Her tears descend in silver bombs, That steal the breath with song of psalms. She knows no rage, she needs no flame, She conquers hearts with sleep and name. A god unmade, a dream re-spun, The storm that falls where there's no sun. [Bridge – Whisper to Scream, Crescendo] Hush… hush… hush now… Drown in the hush… She comes… she comes… she— (SCREAMING CHOIR) WAKE IS A LIE! THE FLESH MUST DRIFT! NO OATHS! NO NAMES! NO GIFTS! NO RIFT! [Final Chorus – Full Orchestra + Choir, Resigned and Beautiful] O Maris… Star of Drowned Delight… Take this mind, and snuff this light. Let thunder crack and seafoam rise— For dreams are truth, and truth is lies. In her arms the sleeper sighs, And never knows they've said goodbye.
