"I knew this day would come.....that I would destroy what I created...." [Verse 1: female breathy emotional vocal, close, intimate and psychedelic ethereal ambience slowly thickens] I wish I could've known — that... The look in your eyes, Would bury my life, Behind my back... So... When was the — last time. I felt like this? Fight or flight, As I die in this abyss... [Female spoken word] "I'm not afraid of you....I never was....I'm the warrior YOU should fear!" (Abyss~) (Abyss~) [Break: tension-filled, bleak and cold, atmosphere darker, every em dash creates a trembling pause and crying breath] It's like we...— Were never meant to be— Didn't you notice? Every time we drifted... Now it feels like...— Everything is bleak... Again...~ [The reverb blooms heavily, psychedelic ambience expands] [Psychedelic Chorus: emotional release, cathartic, highly dark emotive delivery, vocal becomes more fragile and emotional, layered vocals, back vocals] You got me...~ Crying in my sleep...~ As if you're— Torturin' me, In my dreams~— I have yet, To find my peace, Please... Release me...~ The river remembers... The names we lost... Carried away... By winter's frost... A thousand echoes... Across the tide... Still call for you... From the other side... Ahh~... The moonlight shatters, Upon the waves... The wind still wanders, Among the graves... Carry my voice! Across the sea! Through endless skies! Remember me! If fate has torn Our paths apart... Then let this song Become my heart! ...From this void.. ..Call me home!.. [Breakdown — world-crashing subharmonic drop, 30–50Hz bass pressure, no drums for first impact] [the mix collapses into a deep black void, eerie WUB… WUB… WUB pulses shaking] [sub-bass rumbles like the floor splitting open, each WUB wider, slower, heavier] [giant haunted WUB WUB drops answers, eerie and cavernous] [final subharmonic swell holds too long, then cuts to sudden silence] [Post-Breakdown Response: haunting, distant, almost whispered at first, then growing] I've called your name... Through every storm... But the tide returned... Alone... The river remembers... What time erased... The faces we've lost... The vows we couldn't save... And in the dark... Beyond the foam... A voice like thunder... Calls me home... [Build] If I am only... A fading light... Then let me burn... Across the night... Carry my ashes... Across the sea... If you still remember... Remember me... ...From this void... ...CALL ME HOOOOOME!... Fall... Like cherry blossoms... Burn... Like autumn leaves... Fade... Into the silence... You... Still haunt me... [fade to end]
